Course content

In this course you will learn that all types of electromagnetic energy conversion are based on electromagnetic induction. The main principles behind electromechanical and electromagnetic systems will be covered.This primarily applies to the classic electrical machines, such as direct current machines, synchronous machines and asynchronous machines used in generators and motors, in addition to transformers.Problems in the course are selected to increase understanding of the phenomena and interactions in electromechanics and electromagnetic energy conversion and include examples from industry, and from new research.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: After completing the course, the candidate must:

- Know the electromagnetic laws used in the calculation of central quantities such as magnetomotive force, magnetic flux, reluctance, induced voltage, force and torque

-Be able to use magnetic circuits

-Know how the various types of electrical machines work

-Know the mathematical models for how to calculate currents, moments, losses, parameter values, etc.

-Know the most important construction principles

Skills: After completing the course, the candidate should be able to

-Carry out simple dimensioning tasks (selection of machine for defined application)

-Analyze electrical machines in relevant stationary operating situations

-Choose instrumentation and carry out measurements on machines under various (stationary) operating conditions, both in the laboratory and in the field

General competence: After completing the course, the candidate must have increased their abilities to:

-Collaboration and interdisciplinary interaction.

-To communicate effectively with both professionals and non-specialists using reports and presentations.
