Activities
2.41 ects. Electrical Drives: Lecture (B-KUL-H04A5a)
Content
Basic Concepts of control, measuring, mechanical couplings and power electronics for drives
Classification of electric actuators and characterization of loads
DC drives: stationary and transient behavior, and construction and setting of control loops (torque, speed, position control)
AC drives:
o Induction Machines
- Scalar control: subsynchronous cascade, U / f control, field weakening
- Derivation and implementation field oriented (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC)
o Synchronous machine types
- Synchronous machines with emphasis on permanent magnet machines with sinusoidal control
- Brushless DC Machine
- Switched-reluctance machine
- Stepper motors
Servo drives
Linear actuators
Selection of applications, in accordance with each of the machine types: electric transportation (hybrid and electric vehicles, trains),
electrical energy (variable-speed wind turbines), robotics
Implementation aspects
o Sensors (e.g. speed)
o Digital DSP system implementation
o Parasitic problems including thermal management, electromagnetic compatibility, power quality, noise and vibration
o Energetic aspects: efficiencies
The exercises and laboratory sessions focus on demonstrating the different drives based on real systems. Students optimize at least one type of drive starting calculations, from simulation to verification in lab.
