The book "Switched Reluctance Motor Drives: Modeling, Simulation, Analysis, Design, and Applications" by R. Krishnan provides a comprehensive overview of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives, covering their modeling, simulation, analysis, design, and applications. The author, a Fellow of the IEEE and the Center for Organizational & Technological Advancement (COTA) at Virginia Tech, has extensive experience in electric motor drives and applied control. The book is structured into several chapters, each focusing on different aspects of SRMs: 1. **Introduction to SRM**: Discusses the principle of operation, various configurations, and the equivalent circuit of SRMs. 2. **Steady-State Performance and Analytic Derivation**: Derives the relationship between flux linkages, excitation current, and rotor position, and provides an analytical method for computing motor flux linkages. 3. **Design of SRM**: Offers an analytical design procedure based on the output power equation, covering aspects such as selection of dimensions, thermal considerations, and design verification. 4. **Converters for SRM Drives**: Examines different converter configurations, their principles of operation, design considerations, and performance impacts. 5. **Control of SRM Drive**: Introduces control principles, closed-loop speed-controlled SRM drive, current and torque control methods, and speed controller design. 6. **Modeling and Simulation of the SRM Drive System**: Focuses on modeling the machine, converter, load, and controller, and provides simulation results. 7. **Acoustic Noise and Its Control in SRMs**: Explains the sources of acoustic noise and methods to mitigate it, including active noise cancellation techniques. 8. **Sensorless Operation of SRM Drives**: Discusses current sensing, rotor position estimation methods, and sensorless rotor position estimation techniques. 9. **Application Considerations and Applications**: Reviews the features of SRM drives for application consideration and discusses various applications, including low, medium, and high-power drives, and emerging applications in high-volume, underwater, and linear-drive areas. The book is intended for electrical engineers in industrial and federal laboratories and students at the senior/graduate level in universities. It emphasizes an analytical approach to understanding the relationship between machine parameters and output variables, and includes significant contributions from the author's research students.The book "Switched Reluctance Motor Drives: Modeling, Simulation, Analysis, Design, and Applications" by R.
