Preface:

This book is the result of cooperation initiated in 1997 between Danfoss Drives A=S (www.danfoss.com.drives) and the Institute of Energy Technology at Aalborg University in Denmark. A four-year effort known as The International Danfoss Professor Program* was started. The main goal of the program was to attract more students to the multidisciplinary area of power electronics and drives by offering a world-class curriculum taught by renowned professors. During the four years of the program distinguished professors visited AalborgUniversity, giving advanced courses in their  specialty areas and interacting with postgraduate students. Another goal of the program was to strengthen the research team at the university by fostering new contacts and research areas. Four Ph.D. studies have been carried out in power electronics and drives. Finally, the training and education of engineers were also offered in the program. The program attracted the following professors and researchers (listed in the order in which they visited Aalborg University): Marian P. Kazmierkowski, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Andrzej M. Trzynadlowski, University of Nevada, Reno, USA Among the Ph.D. students visiting the program were: Pawel Grabowski, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Dariusz L. Sobczuk, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Christian Lascu, Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania Lucian Tutelea, Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania Christian Klumpner, Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania Mariusz Malinowski, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland Niculina Patriciu, University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania Florin Lungeanu, Galati University, Romania Marco Matteini, University of Bologna, Italy Marco Liserre, University of Bari, Italy The research carried out in cooperation with the Danfoss Professor Program resulted in many publications. The high level of the research activities has been recognized worldwide and four international awards have been given to team members of the program. Most of the research results are included in this book, which consists of the following three parts: Part I: PWM Converters: Topologies and Control (four chapters) Part II: Motor Control (six chapters) Part III: Utilities Interface and Wind Turbine Systems (three chapters) The book has strong monograph attributes, however, some chapters can also be used for undergraduate education (e.g., Chapters 4, 5, and 9–11) as they contain a number of illustrative examples and simulation case studies. We would like to express thanks to the following people for their visionary support of this program: Michael Toennes, Manager of Low Power Drives, Danfoss Drives A=S Paul B. Thoegersen, Manager of Control Engineering, Danfoss Drives A=S John K. Pedersen, Institute Leader, Institute of Energy Technology, Aalborg University Kjeld Kuckelhahn, Vice President of Product Development, Danfoss Drives A=S Finn R. Pedersen, President of Fluid Division, Danfoss A=S, former President of Danfoss Drives A=S Joergen M. Clausen, President and CEO of Danfoss A=S We would also like to thank the Ministry of Education in Denmark and Aalborg University for their support of the program.
