This course examines the design, modelling and control of electrical machines and drives. Modelling of various electrical machines (induction, synchronous and DC) is discussed, and the two-axis-machine theory is mentioned. Fundamental knowledge of coordinate transformation is introduced. Steady-state and dynamic performance of machines are considered in detail. Simulation techniques with MATLAB/SIMULINK are used in studying both dynamic and steady state performance of the electrical machines and drives.
Medium and high-performance AC drives are considered, including V/f and vector control drives. DC machine drives (thyristor-controlled and transistor-controlled drives) are discussed and analysed.
