"Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have been used in the field of electric vehicles due to their high-power density, large torque to inertia ratio, and high reliability. This book presents an improved Field-oriented control (FOC) strategy, for optimal proportional-integral (PI) parameters for robust stability, faster dynamic response, and higher efficiency in the flux-weakening region. Combined design of a PI current regulator and a varying switching frequency PWM is presented, including improved linear model predictive control (MPC) control strategy. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in electrical Engineering, systems and control, and electric vehicles. Features: Implements evolutionary optimization algorithms are directly implemented to improve Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) performance. Provides coverage of PMSM control design in the flux weakening region. Proposes a modern control method of model predictive control is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of interior PMSM. Studies the dynamic performance of two kinds of the PMSMs that of surface mounted and interior permanent magnet types.

Includes several case studies and illustrative examples with MATLAB®. This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and libraries in electrical engineering with specialization in systems and control and electric vehicles"--.
