Abstract :
Power electronics and motion control have emerged as very important technologies in the recent trend of industrial automation. This work reviews the technology status and trends in power electronics and motion control with emphasis on AC machine drives. A comprehensive review of power semiconductor devices, power converter circuits, machine drives, and various motion control techniques is included. The effect of expert systems, fuzzy logic, and neural networks on intelligent motion control is also discussed
