Switched Reluctance Motor Drives Fundamentals to Applications

Switched Reluctance Motor Drives Fundamentals to Applications

Electric motors are the largest consumer of electric energy and they play a critical role in the growing market for electrification. Due to their simple construction switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are exceptionally attractive for the industry to respond to the increasing demand for high-efficiency high-performance and low-cost electric motors with a more secure supply chain. Switched Reluctance Motor Drives: Fundamentals to Applications is a comprehensive textbook covering the major aspects of switched reluctance motor drives. It provides an overview of the use of electric motors in the industrial residential commercial and transportation sectors. It explains the theory behind the operation of switched reluctance motors and provides models to analyze them. The book extensively concentrates on the fundamentals and applications of SRM design and covers various design details such as materials mechanical construction and controls. Acoustic noise and vibration is the most well-known issue in switched reluctance motors but this can be reduced significantly through a multidisciplinary approach. These methodologies are explained in two chapters of the book. The first covers the fundamentals of acoustic noise and vibration so readers have the necessary tools to analyze the problems and explains the surface waves spring-mass models forcing harmonics and mode shapes that are utilized in modeling and analyzing acoustic noise and vibration. The second applies these fundamentals to switched reluctance motors and provides examples for determining the sources of any acoustic noise in switched reluctance motors. In the final chapter two SRM designs are presented and proposed as replacements for permanent magnet machines in a residential HVAC application and a hybrid-electric propulsion application. It also shows a high-power and compact converter design for SRM drives. Features:Comprehensive coverage of switched reluctance motor drives from fundamental principles to design operation and applicationsA specific chapter on electric motor usage in industrial residential commercial and transportation applications to address the benefits of switched reluctance machinesTwo chapters address acoustic noise and vibration in detailNumerous illustrations and practical examples on the design modeling and analysis of switched reluctance motor drivesExamples of switched reluctance motor and drive design | Switched Reluctance Motor Drives Fundamentals to Applications

A Holter for Parkinson’s Disease Motor Symptoms: STAT-On

A Holter for Parkinson’s Disease Motor Symptoms: STAT-On

A new information and communication technology (ICT) has been deployed in the battle against Parkinson’s disease a neurodegenerative disorder that is both progressive and disabling with significant impact on quality of life. This book explains the experience following from the achieved results in the REMPARK project on Parkinson’s disease management up to the launch of a new medical product to the European market STAT-ON™. The new medical device STAT-ON™ is a real Holter for the motor symptoms associated to PD. It provides objective information about the severity and distribution of PD motor symptoms and their fluctuations in daily life allowing for an unbiased and correct monitoring of the patient. This real-time remote monitoring solution gives additional information to neurologists opening up new possibilities for more effective treatment more accurate control in clinical trials and for early detection of motor complications. The number of PD patients is continuously rising adding complexity especially in the management at the level of public health. It is an incurable disease with a symptomatic treatment that tries to alleviate the associated symptoms through a correct adjustment of the medication. For this reason it is also very important to be aware of changes in the manifestation of the symptoms which may indicate the need for an adjustment or even a change in the therapy strategy. The intensive complementary use of STAT-ON™ by neurologists health professionals and researchers will increase the independence and quality of life of patients improving their disease management and contributing to a deeper understanding of the nature of the disease.

Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB /SIMULINK

Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB /SIMULINK

This book introduces electrical machine modeling and control for electrical engineering and science to graduate undergraduate students as well as researchers who are working on modeling and control of electrical machines. It targets electrical engineering students who have no time to derive mathematical equations for electrical machines in particular induction machine (IM) and doubly fed induction machines (DFIM). The main focus is on the application of field oriented control technique to induction motor (IM) and doubly fed induction motor (DFIM) in details and since the induction motors have many drawback using this technique therefore the application of a nonlinear control technique (feedback linearization) is applied to a reduced order model of DFIM to enhance the performance of doubly fed induction motor. FeaturesServes as text book for electrical motor modeling simulation and control; especially modeling of induction motor and doubly fed induction motor using different frame of references. Vector control (field oriented control) is given in more detailed and is applied to induction motor. A nonlinear controller is applied to a reduced model of an doubly induction motor associated with a linear observer to estimate the unmeasured load torque which is used to enhance the performance of the vector control to doubly fed induction motor. Access to the full MATLAB/SIMULINK blocks for simulation and control. | Modeling and Control of AC Machine using MATLAB®/SIMULINK

Physique Fitness and Performance

Totally revised and updated this second edition of the well-received Physique Fitness and Performance retains the unique integrated approach of its predecessor examining the relationship of structure to function in human performance. Far surpassing the limited focus of standard exercise and fitness books it combines the morphological study of physique relative to body structure body size and body composition with the applied interaction of muscular cardiovascular motor and metabolic system capacities abilities and skills developed and acquired through exercise and training programs. Establishing a background and history for the current prevalent interrelationships between physique and physical performance the book begins by outlining the morphological physical motor and metabolic component areas of study involved in physical training. Part One introduces the study of the structure-function relationships relating body structure size and composition to fitness and physical performance. Part Two and Part Three present an overview of the quantitative and qualitative study of physical and physiological conditioning motor learning and motor control specifically regarding the development of motor skill within general/open loop and specific/closed loop parameter guidelines. It also covers fatigue and its physiological and psychological effects on training processes. Part Four explores nutrition and the utilization of carbohydrates fats proteins water vitamins and minerals during physical training. It includes an overview of lipids lipoproteins cholesterol and atherosclerosis; dietary goals and guidelines; and risk factors relating to heart disease and obesity within health and fitness parameter guidelines.
