Fault-tolerant electrical drives have been mostly relegated to automotive, aerospace, marine and military applications where almost all types of fault must be tollerated and very good or rated performance must be guaranteed after a fault. Such requirements are satisfied only at price of multiple redundancies, at the hardware and control levels; obviously the more are […]
Modern industry looks for accurate manufacturing processes as a response to the market demand for high quality products. In this scenario, high performance servo drives must provide a precise control of torque, speed and position.
The future of transportation is in electric mobility. Although electrical drives are considered a mature technology, improvements in terms of efficiency, reliability and safety remain important for accelerating the transition to a fully electric transportation.
Electrical drives are confirming their strategic role also when dealing with renewable energy sources like wind. A proper design and control are equally important for assuring reliability and maximum energy extraction during every working condition.
Electrical drives are progressively replacing hydraulic and pneumatic systems even in applications with strict requirements on performances, reliability and safety. Innovative design and control solutions are fundamental for supporting this trend.
