Knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course the student:

• knows the methodologies and the principles to face the problem related to the design of a smart electromechanical device
• understands and knows the way to realize a sensorless control of the main electrical machines

Applying knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course the student:

• is able to identify and calculate the main parameters and constraints of a smart electromechanical device

Communication

After taking the exam, the student is able to effectively communicate the results of their research activities in relation with the electrical drives.

Aims and learning outcomes

The PhD students understand the techniques, methodologies and tools used to design an electromechanical device and electrical drive.

Syllabus

1. Design procedure of an electrical drive: electromechanical device modeling, power electronics design, control schemes.

2. Smart controller: sliding mode controller, fuzzy regulator...

3. Sensorless control schemes applied to electrical drives
4. Application examples

5. Visit to the laboratories of Politecnico di Milano (Mechanical Engineering Dept., DEIB).

At the end of the course, the students will be asked to describe, to the other students, their research activities as regards the topics of the course. The presentation will be evaluated as final test.

The course will develop on Friday for four weeks: 4 lecture hours and 4 laboratory visit hours every Friday.

Date: 4 Fridays running from January 20th, 2023, 9:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:00.
