Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for optimising the performance of power electronic converters and motor drive systems. By utilising an explicit model of the controlled ...

A new family of microcontrollers aims to enhance the precision and performance of motor control and power conversion in consumer and industrial applications by integrating real-time capabilities and ...

Today’s technology imposes a strict control of the circuit before its final realization. The parameters to be kept under control are diverse and take into account many factors, especially that of high ...

Elektor International Media sent me a copy of Martin Brown’s book, Power Electronics in Motor Drives: Principles, Application and Design. Brown worked with Siemens UK for almost 30 years and designed ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...
