Objectives

1. Acquisition and demonstration of technical knowledge on the physical constitution, selection, assembly, testing and exploration of electrical machines, especially used in electromagnetic drivers.
2. Ability to identify, formulate and conceive practical solutions for testing and modelling electrical machines, as well as their verification and validation.
3. Ability to validate and interpret experimental results
4. Ability to work in a team and to plan and develop a project In group
5. To show communication skills. To be capable of presenting results to an audience (both in written and oral form).

Program

Theoretical classes (14 weeks *2 hours)
• Presentation of the course, its structure, aims, general rules of assessment (1 class)
• Presentation of the objectives of the laboratory assignments to be done in theoretical-practical classes and presentation of the themes related to them (3 classes)
• Sessions given by guests about electrical machines and electromagnetic drivers (4 classes)
• Study trips (2 classes)
• Presentation and discussion of the laboratory assignments (2 classes)
• Tests (2 classes)

Theoretical-practical classes (13 weeks *2 hours)
• Planning, preparation and performance of group laboratory assignments. Presentation and discussion of the reports (11 classes)
Comment: Each group will have to do assignment on one of the following themes:
• Three-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine
• Modelling and testing of a three-phase salient pole synchronous machine (Potier method)
• Three-phase asynchronous generator: isolated and network performance
• Three-phase bank of single-phase transformer
• Three-phase transformer with three-phase winding
• Three-phase induction machine controlled by a frequency controller.
• Study visits (2 classes)

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Assessment Components

Description	Type	Time (hours)	Weight (%)	End date
Attendance (estimated)	Participação presencial	56,00
	Total:	-	0,00

Eligibility for exams

Students cannot miss more than 4 theoretical-practical classes and have to do and present the report, to be admitted to exams.

Calculation formula of final grade

FM = 0,4LA + 0,25*T1 + 0,25*T2 + 0,1*AS

All components will be assessed from 0 to 20

FM - Final Mark
LA- Laboratory assignment (preparation, planning, execution of the laboratory assignments and preparation, presentation and discussion of the reports)
T1- Test 1
T2- Test 2
AS- Assiduity

Comment 1: Students have to reach a minimum mark of 30% in the laboratory component and an average mark of 30% in Test 1 and 2, to complete the course.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students with a special status will be assessed in the following way:
Final Exam (written and individual) - 50%
Laboratory Exam- 50%
