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.

Program

Introduction to electric drives and systems.
DC motor based drives: power electronics converters and control methods.
AC motor based drives, asynchronous and synchronous: power electronics converters and scalar control methods. Vector control methods. Control of PM and brushless motors.
Electrical drive systems: position (linear and angular), speed and acceleration control. Control of two or more axes and multimotor drive systems.
Introduction to robotics.

Eligibility for exams

According to the “Normas Gerais de Avaliação” and a minimum of 40% in the practical work.

Calculation formula of final grade

Evaluation components and relative weight
• PRO, detailed resolution of two problems: (20%)
• PWK, practical work: (30%)
• PAR, participation (theoretical classes and oral presentation of the practical work): 10%
• EXA, final exam: 40%

FG=0,2*PRO+0,3*PWK+0,1*PAR+0,4*EXA

Course approval is conditioned by a minimum of 40% in the practical work evaluation

Examinations or Special Assignments

None.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

None.

Classification improvement

Only the EXA component can be improved in the appropriate dates.
