Course specific prerequisites
SEE055 Electric circuits and MVE615 Calculus in several variables, or similar.Aim
The course aims at providing basic knowledge regarding the function and operation of electric drive systems and their main components; electric machines and converters, as well as electromagnetic fields, that the automation and mechatronic engineer require in their profession. The course shall also give the student practical skills as well as training in using computer based analysis tools like MATLAB/Simulink.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
Basic understanding of and to perform calculations on electromagnetic phenomena that relates to electric components in electric drive systems.
Explain and describe basic electro-technical phenomena such as induced voltage and electromagnetic force action.
Explain and describe the function and operation of a DC machine and perform calculations based on the DC machine's equivalent circuit, both dynamic and stationary.
Perform calculations on step-down and step-up power electronic converters, separate and in connection with a DC machine with a mechanical load in an electric drive system.
Perform calculations on balanced three-phase circuits: Voltage, current, apparent/active/reactive-power and Y/Δ-connection.
Explain and describe the function and operation of synchronous and induction machines. Perform calculations based on the machines equivalent circuit.
Using computer-based tools (MATLAB / Simulink) for the analysis of electrical circuits.
Conduct electrical lab work safely in smaller groups
