Electrical Drive Simulation with MATLAB/Simulink (ePub)

Viktor Perelmuter, DSc, earned a diploma in electrical engineering with honors from the National Technical University (Kharkov Polytechnic Institute) in 1958. Dr. Perelmuter earned a candidate degree in technical sciences (PhD) from the Electromechanical Institute Moscow, Soviet Union, in 1967, a senior scientific worker diploma (confirmation of the Supreme Promoting Committee by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Council of Ministers) in 1981, and a doctorate degree in technical sciences from the Electrical Power Institute Moscow/SU in 1991.

From 1958 to 2000, he worked in the Research Electrotechnical Institute, Kharkov, Ukraine, in the thyristor drive department, during which he also served as department chief (1988-2000). During this time, he developed DC electric drives for rolling mills of various types, including such a specific mill as a planetary mill for rolling sheet metal. Starting with employment of the rotating electrical machines, magnetic and thyristor amplifiers as the exciters, with the advent of powerful thyristors, he carried out the development of thyristor electric drives for reversible and continuous cold and hot rolling mills. He was the head of work on the creation in the USSR of a series of complete thyristor electric drives for rolling mills with a power of up to 12,000 kW.He repeatedly took part in putting power electric drives into operation at metallurgical plants. This work was commended with a number of honorary diplomas. He was also involved as a consultant on problems related to papermaking machines, mine hoists, and conveyors.
