D. W. NovotnyVector Control and Dynamics of AC Drives (Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

Boy ... this is not an easy book, took me months to finish it!This is absolutely an advanced level book from two of the biggest motor-drive experts (expert cannot describe it, I would call Professors Novotny, Krause, Lippo, Blaschke, and Hasse "THE GODS of Motor-Drives", since they basically created and developed this field! Anyway ...) that contains the fruits of their decades of core research and extensive experience. You cannot find one single extra/unnecessary word in this 400 page book. Every written line is needed to be there and should be carefully read and fully digested by the reader. I wish Professors Novotny and Lipo would have published newer editions of this book with some update and expansion.Note: This is not a beginner's book (there are other great text books out there if you want to start motor-drives).

The book is a useful reference for anyone who wishes to understand vector control better. It's an advanced text and the reader should have a background in AC machine control from a text like Krishnan's or Krause's before they can grasp the content of this. I was expecting better and clearer content in the discussion of switching rules and models. Nonetheless it is a useful buy.

The definite guide for modern electric drives. Also includes a chapter on modeling of voltage source converters in the d q reference frame. This book is virtually unobtainable through other means like ieeexplore or wiley, etc.

Looks like it just came from the publisher!
