Induction Motor Control Design Handbook: Power Electronics, Variable-Frequency Drives, and Advanced Speed Regulation Techniques

Modern industry depends on induction motors, and most are now powered by variable-frequency drives (VFDs). Yet understanding how the motor, inverter, control algorithms, and commissioning process work together remains one of the biggest challenges for students and practicing engineers.

This handbook brings everything together in one practical, technically rigorous resource.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Understand induction motor operation, from equivalent circuits to advanced dq-axis dynamic models.
• Design and compare V/Hz, Field-Oriented Control (FOC), Direct Torque Control (DTC), sensorless control, and Model Predictive Control (MPC).
• Develop current and speed controllers using proven industrial tuning methods.
• Implement sinusoidal PWM, Space Vector PWM (SVPWM), and discontinuous PWM with clear mathematical explanations.
• Size, protect, simulate, commission, and troubleshoot complete VFD systems using industry best practices.
• Apply your knowledge through real-world case studies covering pumps, cranes, high-speed spindles, and more.

Covering electromagnetic machine theory, power electronics, digital control, thermal protection, commissioning, and fault diagnosis, this handbook provides a complete engineering workflow, from motor modeling to field deployment.

Ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students, electrical engineers, drive system designers, and power electronics professionals seeking a single, comprehensive reference.

Build the expertise that modern industry demands. Whether you're preparing for advanced coursework, designing industrial drive systems, or improving your professional skills, this handbook will become an essential reference.
