This course comprises of:
- Fundamental theory and principles of modelling, operation and control of different electric machines and power electronics converters, and ability to apply this in the design or common electric drive systems.
- Current practice and cutting-edge technologies in a wider context of power conversion, including both technical and non-technical electrical engineering issues in the target applications.
- Build realistic dynamic models for computer simulations of power electronics control of an industrial AC motor using appropriate software packages (for example, Matlab/Simulink).
- Investigate, evaluate and adopt control strategies and design procedures for implementation, develop the entire simulation model, and then conduct a preliminary performance analysis of the considered drive system from the obtained simulation results.
- Continuous professional and personal development through independent learning, initiative, critical thinking and self-appraisal.
