Unit description
This unit develops fundamental knowledge and skills in the area of electrical machines (motors, generators) and their applications in modern electrical systems. This unit will equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for designing, analysing, controlling and selecting appropriate machines for various applications, and to operate them in a safe, efficient and economical manner. Topics include: modelling, efficiency analysis, dynamics, and pros/cons of DC machines (generator and motor - self and separately excited, PMDC), single and three-phase AC machines (Induction motor - squirrel-cage and wound rotor), synchronous machines, special machines (reluctance motor, stepper motor, brushless DC motor, etc). Applications will include electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles, renewable energy systems and high-speed drives. |
