Electric Machines and Power Electric Drives

Catalog description

Course description: This is a senior and beginning level graduate course focusing on electric drive systems (power electronics driven electromechanical devices). The focus of the course will include permanent magnet synchronous machine drives (brushless dc) and induction motor drives. There will be a heavy emphasis on operation, physical modeling, and applied control. The topics are Introduction to advanced electric drive system, Basic Principle of advanced electric drive system, Reference Frame theory, Sinusoidal PWM and Space vector PWM inverters , DC drives, Dynamic analysis of Induction Machines, Analysis of Induction Machines in dq windings, Vector control of induction motor drives, Vector Control of Permanent magnet synchronous motor drives, Switched-reluctance motor (SRM) drives.
