Power Converters and AC Electrical Drives with Linear Neural Networks (Cirrincione, M., et al; 2012) [Book News]

This book presents in full the very complex and multidisciplinary nature of power electronics and electrical drives with special emphasis on application of artificial intelligence.It systematically explores the application of neural networks in the field of power electronics. It emphasizes, particularly, neural network applications in sensorless control of ac drives, including their applications in active power filtering, filling the gap in the book market. The book integrates artificial intelligence tools, such as expert systems, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, genetic algorithms, and multiagent systems, using the features of learning, self-organization, and self-adaptation in power electronic systems. The book consists of 11 chapters, four parts: Power converters; Electrical drives; Neural-based orthogonal regression; and selected applications.
