About

About the course

Course content

In this course, you will learn that all types of electromagnetic energy conversion are based on electromagnetic induction. The main principles of electromechanical systems, in particular, and electromagnetic systems, in general, will be covered.

There are many electromagnetic devices based on these principles. It includes classical electrical machines such as DC-machines, synchronous machines and asynchronous machines used in generators and motors, as well as transformers.

Problems used in the course are intended to strengthen understanding of the phenomena and interactions in electromechanics and electromagnetic energy conversion and include examples from current research.

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

After completing the course, the candidate will:

- know the electromagnetic laws used to calculate central quantities such as magnetomotive force, magnetic flux, reluctance, induced voltage, force and torque

- know how to apply magnetic circuits

- know how the various types of machines work

- know the mathematical models to calculate currents, torque, losses, parameter values, etc.

- have good knowledge about the main design principles

Skills:

After completing the course, the candidate will be able to

- carry out simple design tasks (select machine for defined application)

- analyze electrical machines in relevant steady-state operational situations

- select instrumentation and carry out measurements on electrical machines under different (steady-state) operating conditions, both in laboratory and in field work

General competence:

After completing the course, the candidate has increased:

- skills in cooperation and interdisciplinary collaboration

- ability to communicate effectively to professionals and non-specialists alike through reports and presentations

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, compulsory exercises and laboratory work.

Al least 75 % of the calculation-exercises in the course must be delivered before given deadlines and be approved to get access to the exam. It is mandatory to do all the laboratory exercises in the course. To write a report connected to one of the laboratory exercises within a given deadline might be requires. If so this report must be approved to get access to the exam.

Compulsory assignments

  • Mandatory training exercises
  • Mandatory Laboratory exercises

Further on evaluation

If there is a resit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.

Approved work requirements from earlier years might be reapproved by the institute.

Specific conditions

Admission to a programme of study is required:
