20810179 - MARINE ELECTRIC DRIVES


The aim of the course is to describe the electrical machines and the power electronic converters that are potentially used in electrical drives for marine applications. Their models with reference to dynamic operation and related regulation with linear control techniques are also discussed. Students will acquire the skills necessary to face the correct selection of the electrical drives to be used, on the basis of technical specifications and the desired performances.

Type of delivery of the course

Class lessons. Moreover, exercises and simulations will be useful for the topics that will be illustrated during the course. Matlab/Simulink and National Instruments LabVIEW software will be used during class. Hardware-in-the-loop simulator and reduced scale demo kit will be used to highlight some topics.

Attendance

Course attendance is strongly recommended

Type of evaluation

Learning verification takes place through an interview. The student will be asked two questions related to the topics covered during the course.
