The theory is organized in the following 4 parts.

1. DC motor drives
1.1. Independent-excitation machines: reminder of fundamental aspects and equations (constitution, back-emf and torque, equivalent circuit, torque-speed curves, …)
1.2. Power electronic supply (static torque-speed capability, thyristor-bridge supply, chopper supply, …)
1.3. Closed-loop control (torque control, speed control, …)
2. Induction-motor drives
2.1. Three-phase squirrel-cage machines: reminder of fundamental aspects and equations (constitution, equivalent circuit, constant-supply-frequency characteristics and speed variation, …)
2.2. V/f speed control (voltage boost and flux weakening, power-electronic supply, speed control, …)
2.3. Flux-oriented and direct-torque control (reference frame theory, Park transformation and equations, control principles and implementation, …)
3. Synchronous machines (constant-speed generator operation)
3.1. Generalities (constitution and classification, working principle, noload operation and curve, …)
3.2. Smooth-rotor alternators (constitution, synchronous reactance and impedance, linearized model, synchronization, V-curves, nonlinear model, short-circuit and zero-power-factor tests and curves, …)
3.3. Salient-pole alternators (constitution, d and q-axis reactances, slip test, …)
3.4. Synchronous motors
3.5. Excitation systems
4. Synchronous-motor drives
4.1. Wound-rotor machines (voltage boost and flux weakening, power-electronic supply, …)
4.2. Permanent-magnet machines (constitution, vector control, power-electronic supply, …)
4.3. Reluctance machines (constitution, working principle, …)
4.4. Switched reluctance machines and stepper motors (constitution, working principle, …)
The practical work comprises the following subjects:

• DC-motor drives: simulation of torque and speed control
• DC-motor drives: practical utilization of a commercial drive
• Synchronous machines: classical tests and identification
• Synchronous machines in the power grid: transfer of active and reactive power
• Induction-motor drives: practical utilization of a commercial drive
• Permanent-magnet synchronous machines: simulation of vector control

Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.

Scientific competences

Can collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team.

Knowledge oriented competences

Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes.

Knowledge oriented competences

Having a broad scientific knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to design, produce and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems with a focus on products, systems and services. E.g. codepo project, courses around renewable, sustainable mobility, ...

Knowledge oriented competences

Having an in-depth scientific knowledge, understanding and skills in at least one of the subfields needed to design, produce, apply and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems.

Scientific competences

Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).

The different electrical machine and electrical drive types are treated in agreement with their practical importance in the various application domains, focusing on the construction of these machines and the application-dependant requirements. The different equations and equivalent circuits are derived in a rigorous way, paying attention to the underlying hypotheses and simplifications. The classical identification tests are well covered in the theory lectures, the simulation sessions and the laboratory exercises.

Scientific competences

Can conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives, existing knowledge and the relevant literature, with attention to innovation and valorization in industry and society.

Knowledge oriented competences

Having an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.

Scientific competences

Can correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper.

Scientific competences

Can present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.

Beoordelingsinformatie

De beoordeling bestaat uit volgende opdrachtcategorieën:
Examen Schriftelijk bepaalt 80% van het eindcijfer

WPO Labowerk bepaalt 20% van het eindcijfer

Binnen de categorie Examen Schriftelijk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Theory met een wegingsfactor 40 en aldus 32% van het totale eindcijfer.
  • Practical Work Sessions met een wegingsfactor 60 en aldus 48% van het totale eindcijfer.

Binnen de categorie WPO Labowerk dient men volgende opdrachten af te werken:

  • Practical Work Sessions met een wegingsfactor 100 en aldus 20% van het totale eindcijfer.

Aanvullende info mbt evaluatie

Evaluation based on the lab reports and written exam.

All Practical Work sessions are done in groups, i.e. groups of 2 for the simulation sessions, and groups up to 6 for the lab sessions. In the latter sessions due attention is paid to safety issues.

In the double session on synchronous machines (2 times 4h), team work competences are particularly focused, with 5 teams working at the same time, each having its team leader.
