Edgar N. Sanchez was born in Sardinata, Colombia, in 1949. He earned the BSEE, majoring in power systems, from Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), Bucaramanga, Colombia, in 1971; the MSEE, majoring in automatic control, from the Advanced Studies and Research Center of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN), Mexico City, Mexico, in 1974; and the docteur ingenieur degree in automatic control from Institut Nationale Polytechnique de Grenoble, France, in 1980. Since January 1997, he has been with CINVESTAV-IPN, Guadalajara, Mexico. He was granted a USA National Research Council Award as a research associate at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, USA (January 1985 to March 1987). He is also a member of the Mexican National Research System (promoted to highest rank, III, in 2005), the Mexican Academy of Science, and the Mexican Academy of Engineering. He has published more than 200 technical papers in international journals and conferences, and has served as associate editor and reviewer for different international journals and conferences. He has also been a member of many international program committees, for both IEEE and IFAC conferences. His research interest centers on neural networks and fuzzy logic as applied to automatic control systems.
Riemann Ruiz-Cruz was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, in 1983. He earned the BSEE from Instituto Tecnológico de Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2006; and the MSEE and D.Sc. in electrical engineering from the Advanced Studies and Research Center of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN), Guadalajara, Mexico, in 2009 and 2013, respectively. Since August 2013, he has been with Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), Guadalajara, Mexico. He is also a member of the Mexican National Research System (rank C). His research interests center on neural control, block control, inverse optimal control, and discrete-time sliding modes, and their applications to electrical machines and power systems.
"… presents a comprehensive description of the modeling and control
of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), which are cutting-edge
technologies used in the wind industry. This book has taken a fresh
approach to introducing various control techniques associated with
the DFIG wind generator technology. This approach enables
researchers, [even those] with little background knowledge, to
obtain a very good understanding of the topic."
—Dr. Lasantha Meegahapola, RMIT University, Melbourne, Victoria,
Australia"… focuses on the nonlinear control of DFIG systems. The
sliding mode, neural network, and inverse optimal control are
included in this book to investigate the operation performance of
DFIGs."
