Excursion, lecture, practicum, seminar: coached exercises

electrical drives, rotating field machines, electrostatic motors, power electronics, powerelectronic drives

This course deals with the basics of controlled electrical drives. In the first part, rotatingfield machines (induction and synchronous machines) are discussed quite thoroughly.In the second part, Power Electronics, the basic circuits and characteristics aredescribed of the most important power electronic converters (rectifier, chopper, inverter,cyclo-converter). The last part of this course is an introduction to electrical drivetechnology based on the three classical machine types with both classical solutions andadvanced control schemes. The course is a basic course electrical drives with as aim toteach the operating principles and use of the most important electrical machines andpower electronic converters for electrical drives.

•  Rotating magnetic fields: Field excitation, EMF, torque•  Induction machines: Generalities, Rotary transformer, Equivalent circuit diagram,•  Torque and energy conversion, flow diagram, Classical method for start-up and•  speed control•  Synchronous machines: Generalities SM, Armature reaction, Equivalent circuit•  diagram, torque (smooth rotor), Characteristics of SM, Salient-pole synchronous•  machines•  Power electronic converters: Components, Rectifiers, Choppers, Cyclo converters,•  Inverters•  Power-electronic drives: Starting, braking, speed control, Direct-current drives, Slip•  control in induction machine, Slip ring rotor cascade, Variable-frequency supply
