The first and the most important step in solving the environmental problems created by cars with internal combustion engines is research and development of electric vehicles. Selection of a proper drive and optimal control strategy of electric vehicles are the major factors to obtain optimal...

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) can provide reliable dynamic systems and significant savings in energy usage and costs of the induction motors (IMs). Sensorless controlled IM drives have advantages in terms of efficiency enhancement and energy savings for critical applications such as electric...

Photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system has been becoming increasingly important in remote, isolated, and non-electrified population, where either accessibility to the grid is difficult to establish or implementation cost is indeed very high. In such location, PV water pumping application is...
