Contenuti del corso
The objective of this course is modeling and control the electromechanical systems (mainly rotating electrical machines: conventional and special) used in the conversion of electrical in mechanical energy and vice-versa. The course will give basic and advanced elements of two fields of the electrical engineering area taught in the courses of Electrical Machines and Electrical Drives Emphasis is placed on electromagnetic rotating machinery, by means of which the bulk of this energy conversion takes place. However, the techniques developed are generally applicable to electrical machines, renewable energy conversion and to a wide range of additional devices including linear machines, actuators, and sensors.
Although not an electromechanical-energy-conversion device, the transformer is an important component to understand the overall energy-conversion process that uses magnetic field. The models developed for transformers analysis form the basis for the ensuing discussion of rotating electric machinery. Finally Generalized Theory and Space Vector Theory are introduced to better explain Vector Control of AC Machines.
