This book provides a simulation-first, application-oriented approach to digital control design for AC motor systems, focusing on real-world challenges such as delay compensation, stability analysis, and loop tuning. Unlike conventional motor control texts that emphasize only theoretical frameworks, this book offers a systematic, delay-aware modeling and control methodology that engineers can directly apply to hardware. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK as the primary tool, the book demonstrates step-by-step techniques to reduce development cost and risk through accurate simulation before hardware deployment. Practical topics include delay-compensated PI controller design, modulation strategies for three-phase inverters, hardware-based validation using ODrive, and advanced observer techniques for sensorless PMSM control . With downloadable simulation files and case studies, this book enables readers to gain both conceptual understanding and practical hands-on skills. It is ideal for practicing motor control engineers, graduate students, and embedded system developers in automation, robotics, and electric drive industries who want to bridge the gap between theory and product-ready solutions.
