Module overview

The module aims to provide a detailed understanding of all aspects of the selection, sizing and operation of modern electrical machines and drive systems. Through the module, students will be able to learn to design electromechanical devices, identify different types of electrical machines and their suitability for different applications. The derivation of equations describing operation of machines, formulate relevant equivalent circuits and analyse simple problems related to operation of electrical machines and drives will be studied. In addition, methods for solving large systems of equations and the role of CAD in engineering design will be covered.
