This book examines a number of topics, mainly in connection with advances in semiconductor devices and magnetic materials and developments in medium and large-scale renewable power plant technologies, grid integration techniques and new converter topologies, including advanced digital control systems for medium-voltage networks. The book’s individual chapters provide an extensive compilation of fundamental theories and in-depth information on current research and development trends, while also exploring new approaches to overcoming some critical limitations of conventional grid integration technologies. Its main objective is to present the design and implementation processes for medium-voltage converters, allowing the direct grid integration of renewable power plants without the need for step-up transformers.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are popular in the electric vehicle industry 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 PMSMs that utilizes optimal proportional-integral (PI) parameters to achieve robust stability, faster dynamic response, and higher efficiency in the flux-weakening region. The book covers the combined design of a PI current regulator and varying switching frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM), along with an improved linear model predictive control (MPC) strategy. Researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, systems and control, and electric vehicles will find this book useful. Features: • Implements evolutionary optimization algorithms to improve PMSM performance. • Provides coverage of PMSM control design in the flux-weakening region. • Proposes a modern method of model predictive control to improve the dynamic performance of interior PMSM. • Studies the dynamic performance of two kinds of PMSMs: 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.

This book is an open access About MSIEID 2024 2024 6th Management Science Informatization and Economic Innovation Development Conference (MSIEID 2024) With the deepening of globalization and informatization, the relationship between management science, informatization and economic development becomes more and more close and complex. The application of information technology in the field of management science not only improves the operation efficiency of enterprises and organizations, but also provides new tools and methods for innovation, market analysis and decision making. Economic innovation has become an important driving force for the sustainable development of national and regional economy and the improvement of competitiveness. It is in this context that this conference came into being, aiming to explore how to promote the further integration of management science and economic development through information technology and innovation. 2024 6th Management Science Informatization and Economic Innovation Development Conference (MSIEID 2024) will be held in Guangzhou, China from December 6 to 8, 2024. The conference aims to provide a high-level and high-quality exchange platform for experts and scholars in the fields of management science, informatization and economics from all over the world.
