This comprehensive book offers a unique approach to designing model-based torque controllers for a wide range of Lorentz force machines, including DC, synchronous, and induction machines. By utilizing the rotating transformer model, the book establishes a generalized modeling framework for rotating field machines, leading to the development of universal field-oriented control algorithms. In contrast, direct torque control algorithms are specifically designed for switched reluctance machines using observer-based methods.

To enhance the learning experience, tutorials are included at the end of each chapter, encouraging readers to execute these hands-on exercises to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic behavior of drive systems. The updated edition of the book incorporates PLECS® simulation and vector processing tools, which have been tailored specifically for these tutorials. This approach promotes "learning by doing," making it valuable for experienced drive specialists who can utilize the simulation tools to design high-performance torque controllers.

While this book stands as a powerful reference on its own, when combined with the companion texts Fundamentals of Electrical Drives and Applied Control of Electrical Drives, it forms a truly comprehensive reference set that takes readers from a foundational understanding of electrical drives to a deep familiarity with advanced features and models, and ultimately to a mastery of applying these concepts in practical hardware implementations.

In addition to its theoretical content, the book provides numerous practical examples and case studies, illustrating the application of the discussed concepts in real-world scenarios. This makes it an invaluable resource for engineers, researchers, and students interested in the field of electrical drives and control.

Overall, Advanced Electrical Drives is a must-read for anyone seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in the design and control of electrical machines and drives.
