- Basic knowledge of electrical machines and drives
- Good knowledge of the structure and operating behaviour (characteristic curves) of rotary field machines.
- Good knowledge of control engineering (time-continuous and time-discrete).
- Confident handling of MATLAB and Simulink.
- Rotating field machines: Function, area of application, design, efficiency, and conducting an experiment on a test bench.
- Introduction and theoretical fundamentals of converter technology: Basic concepts, vector control, d-q space, Clarke and Park transformation
- FOC control: Block diagram, current and speed control loops, cross coupling, control design
Implementation of FOC control in Matlab Simulink, comparison in an experiment on a test bench. - Rotating field machines in the overall drive train.
- Students can explain how rotating field machines work and their basic behavior (e.g., efficiency).
- They can outline vector control and explain basic options such as field weakening.
- They are able to understand the type of rotating machine, its behavior, and control in the overall system.
- Lecture with integrated exercises
- Laboratory exercises
- Self-study
Weighted graded assignments with knowledge assessment during the current semester
