Skills
simulations researchElectric drives are increasingly being used in different industrial, power actuation, and electric utility applications, to control speed, torque or position of electric machines. A suitable variable speed control for a specific application requires proper knowledge and understanding of electric machines and power electronic drives. This course gives the fundamental principles of AC and DC drives. Electric machines are classified. In addition, inverter typologies and control techniques are present.
Learners
Design of electric motor drive with proper controller;
simulation model of the motor drive system;
technical report about the motor drive system.
