" CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTORS " Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski Department of Electrical Engineering University of Nevada, Reno

Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno" refers to a prominent book and area of expertise by Professor Emeritus Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski.

The book, titled Control of Induction Motors (published around 2000 by Academic Press/Elsevier), is a comprehensive reference for engineers and students specializing in electric power engineering and industrial electronics.

Key Topics in the Book

The book provides a systematic overview of induction motor control, moving from fundamental concepts to advanced high-performance drive systems. It is structured into three main parts: motor description, control methods, and control means.

• Part 1: Control-Oriented Description of Induction Motors

  • Covers the construction, steady-state operation, and basic dynamic models of induction motors, presenting the motor as an electromechanical power converter.

• Part 2: Control Methods and Systems

  • Classifies control methods based on the controlled variables (torque, speed, flux) and actuating variables (voltage, current).

  • Discusses various control strategies:

    • Scalar Control Methods (e.g., constant Volts/Hertz control, for low-performance drives).

    • Dynamic Model of the Induction Motor.

    • Vector Control techniques for high-performance drives, such as Field Orientation (also known as FOC or vector control) and Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC).

    • Speed and Position Control systems.

    • Sensorless Drives.

      

      Part 3: Control Means

Provides an overview of power electronic converters (like Voltage Source Inverters, VSI) and information processing equipment essential for modern induction motor drives.

👨‍🏫 Author's Background

Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski is a Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. He is a recognized authority in the fields of power electronics and electric drive systems, particularly those involving AC machines like induction motors. His research often focuses on modern control techniques such as Field Orientation, Direct Torque Control, and various Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) methods for converters.

This book is a cornerstone text for understanding how to achieve precise and high-performance control of induction motors, which are the workhorse of industrial drive systems globally.
