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.
