Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
- explain electromagnetic energy conversion and rotating magnetic fields used in electrical machines,
- describe the most important parts and control principles of a drive system,
- describe, analyze, and measure various electric alternating current and direct current machines,
- state the most common applications for various electrical machines and drive systems,
- use technical specifications to select a machine and drive system for an application,
- describe how control strategies in drive systems can contribute to ancillary services to support the power grid.
Course Content
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.
