Course description:
Course objectives: To present basic and advanced subjects in electrical drives with emphasis on controlled electrical drives and servodrives Enrolment requirements and required entry competences for the course: Previous attendance at any subject from the "Electrical engineering" subject group, such as: "Electrical engineering" "Electrical engineering and electrical machines" "Electronics" Student responsibilities: Teaching activities consist of lectures and auditory and laboratory exercises, wherein student attendance is regularly checked. A minimum attendance rate of 70% is strictly enforced. Inappropriate behavior is not tolerated during examinations. Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam: During the semester, two semester exams (colloquia) are organized in the 7th and 15th week of lectures. Successfully completed colloquia are equivalent to a onetime successful written exam. Maximum proportions of individual exam components: Written exam 50% (alternatively 1st and 2nd colloquia equal to 25% + 25%) Oral exam 50% Grading system: 5 87% or more, 4 76% to 87%, 3 65% to 76%, 2 50% 65%, 1 below 49% Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences: At the beginning of each lecture or exercise, a brief recapitulation of previously presented subject matter is performed (up to 5 minutes). During the lectures/excercise interactive teaching process is established. Afterwards, students are pointed towards further broadening the subject matter via appropriate literature. The subject matter for the next lecture/exercise is announced and additional teaching materials are offered. Consultations, either in person or via email correspondence, are also encouraged. During the semester, students are given the opportunity to actively participate in practical laboratory exercises which further illustrate the subject matter presented at lectures and auditory exercises. Results of semester exams (colloquia) are used as indirect quality indicators of the teaching process. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes): analyze the stationary operation of electrical drives in motoring and braking regimes based on available electrical machine and load static characteristics select a primemover electrical machine with respect to load cycle characteristics envision the servodrive power converter control system select appropriate current, speed and position sensors for electrical servodrive application analyze the dynamic behavior of openloop controlled electrical drive, including the working mechanism compliance and friction effects design the electrical drive current, speed and position cascade control system extend the electrical drive cascade control system with reference trajectory tracking system validate the performance of electrical servodrive Lectures 1.
