Course GEG3BX

Electrical Machines and Drives

7.5 Credits
First Cycle

Starts week 4, 2025

The course deals with systems for electromagnetic energy conversion consisting of electrical machines and drive systems. Furthermore, theoretical concepts for various electrical machines and drive systems are covered such as induction machines, synchronous machines, machines with permanent magnets, power semiconductors, pulse width modulation and alternating current and direct current conversion. This also includes how control strategies in drive systems can contribute to backup services to support the electricity grid. With the help of laboratories and simulation tools, measurements and analyzes are made on electrical machines and drive systems. The course also includes a project where a combination of machine and drive system is chosen to suit an application. The course includes one mandatory visit to campus Borlänge, with laborations over two to three days.
