Objectives
THE GOAL OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DESIGN AND OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL POWER INDUSTRY THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF REAL APPLICATION CASES. THEN, THE COURSE WANTS TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENTS TO FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES. THE TEACHING METHOD ALLOWS TO OBTAIN BASIC CONCEPTS FOR POWER SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
Prerequisites
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES, MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS AND ELECTROTECHNIC KNOWLEDGE HAVE REQUIRED.

STATIC CONVERSION OF ENERGY: MAIN AC/DC, DC/DC AND DC/AC CONVERTERS. PWM CONTROL TECHNIQUE. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS.
FROM THE PHYSICS LAWS TO ROTATING MACHINES: BASIC PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROMECHANICAL ENERGY CONVERSION.
ASYNCRONOUS MOTORS, CONTINUOUS CURRENT MOTORS, BRUSHLESS MOTORS, STEP MOTORS: EQUIVALENT CIRCUITS AND CHARACTERISTICS SPEED-TORQUE. CHOICE AND SIZING CRITERIA.
POWER DRIVE: CONVERTER-MOTOR-CONTROL INTEGRATION. TORQUE AND SPEED CONTROL. RIGENERATING OPERATION. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS.

Teaching Methods
THERE WILL BE LECTURES IN THE CLASSROOM, LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AND TECHNICAL VISITS AT COMPANIES WORKING IN ELECTRIC MOBILITY FIELD AND IN THE POWER SYSTEM (PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION) AREA. DURING THE COURSE STUDENTS ARE ORGANIZED INTO WORKING GROUPS TO DEVELOP A PROJECT WHERE IS APPLIED ONE OF THE ISSUES ADDRESSED ON A TOPIC OF THE COURSE. THE WORK IS CARRIED OUT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TUTOR COMING FROM A COMPANY TUTOR.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF ONLY THE ORAL EXAM. DURING THE EXAMINATION IS ALSO DISCUSSED THE SHORT THESIS, REPRESENTING ABOUT THE 33% OF FINAL RESULT
