ECE 446: Electromechanical Energy Conv

Course Description

Introduces fundamental concepts and specifications of electromechanical energy conversion: AC and DC machines drive, electric and magnetic storage and transfer, transformer, and performance analysis of AC and DC machines. The topics include principles of energy conversion, permanent magnet synchronous machines, induction machines, and DC machines. The lab projects for the course will focus on modeling, evaluation, and practice of AC and DC machine drives based on computer simulation and DSP based experiments; transient and dynamic analysis; linearization and small signal analysis of machines. Four lecture/laboratory hours per week.
