Course information:
This course focuses on the analysis and design of electric motors, generators, and drive systems, with special emphasis placed on the design of machines for electric drives. We will focus on fundamentals by using MATLAB for mathematical analysis in the context of design. Extensive hands-on exposure will be provided through computer-based laboratory exercises and through the opportunity to construct and test an actual power electronic drive for a test motor in our laboratory.
Please enroll through Prof. Kirtley.
Who should attend:
This subject is directed at electrical engineering professionals who design or apply electrical machinery, power electronic drives, and electromechanical systems that work on the same physical principles as electric machinery. Electrical machines and drives are major consumers of electrical energy. A thorough understanding of machines and drives is essential for engineers working with or interfacing to renewable generation sources and the electric utility system. Electric machines are employed in a very wide range of businesses and industries, including consumer goods, space conditioning, manufacturing, automotive and rail transportation, air and sea transportation, electric, gas and water utilities, drilling and mining, alternative energy, and military systems. Professionals who design electrical systems that employ electric machinery for generation or as motors in any of these industries will gain a deeper understanding of how electric machines operate. Professionals who design electrical machines will gain a deeper understanding of the physical principles and design techniques.
A basic knowledge of electrical circuit analysis and working familiarity with principles of electromagnetism is assumed.
