ECE 787 / Electric Machines

3 unit(s)

The objective of this course is to introduce modelling techniques applicable to rotating electric machines that can (i) be utlized to investigate machine steady and dynamic operational performance and (ii) implemented as part of the machine control algorithm in a fixed or variable speed context. The impact of the electrical supply to the machine will be emphasized throughout the course since this may be a fixed voltage and frequency supply, or a supply synthesized via power electronics. Both raise design consideration issues. The other objective is to study the electromagnetic design of rotating machines and to appreciate the tools and techniques applied therein.
