Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

At the end of the course students should have acquired the following skills: • Specify a closed loop electromechanical drive system, with one or more axes, DC or AC motor based, namely defining the objectives and the requirements of the controlled system and specifying its main functions and architectures; • Discuss and evaluate structures, control methods and selection criteria of the systems studied in the course, namely considering the interaction between different subsystems; • Work with modern electrical machines and control platforms; • Develop simulation models for electrical drives; • Design electric drives; • Work in a team; • Produce technical reports and make oral presentations.

Learning outcomes and competences

As learning outcomes the student must be skilled for drive systems to:

Analyze driving requirements for a feed-back controlled system based on either DC or AC motor;

Analyze main functionalities and architectures;

Specificy technical charateristics;

Design feed-back controlled systems;

Develop models for computational analysis;

Use computational simulation tool as system analysis tool;

Work out a project as team element working within team organization;

Prepare and self-evaluate oral presentation of his work.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The theoretical classes are tutorials with discussion of applied examples.

The practical classes are of three types:

home work discussing;

accompanying the execution of the simulation and experimental works,

and demonstration of industrial equipment.
