Objectives

the Electromechanical Course, through the main methods of the application of electrical machines in electric power systems, has as learning outcomes (CDIO):
- 1.2; 1.3 - nuclear and advanced knowledge of Engineering
- 2.3 - systemic thinking
- 3.1 - efficient group work
- 4.3; 4.4; 4.5; 4.6 - system engineering; conception, project; implementation; operation

Program

Sustainable Electromechanical Systems; Electromechanical Systems for the Electrical Energy Production (synchronous machines; induction machines; variable reluctance machines; commutator machines; permanent magnet machines — performance, selection and application); Electromechanical Systems Maintenance; Electronic-mechanical Systems.
At the recitation classes are made experimental laboratory works on the performance and test of different kinds of electrical machines.

Eligibility for exams

Students have to do the laboratory assignments (group assignment)
It assesses the following skills: Understanding and Application (15%) Analysis and Assessment (15%)

Students have to reach a minimum mark of 50% in each if the written tests
They assess the following skills: Knowledge (40%), Understanding(20%) and Application (10%)

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Mark = 30%(LabWork) + ((35% Test 1) + (35% Test 2))

Examinations or Special Assignments

Two tests
Reports

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students have to do the laboratory assignments (30%)
It assesses the following skills: Understanding and Application (15%) Analysis and Assessment (15%)

Written exam (70%)
It assesses the following skills: Knowledge (40%), Understanding(20%) and Application (10%)

Observations

Students need at least 1,30h per week outside of class to complete their assignments.
Students' doubts can be answered by e-mail, if they are clearly formulated.
