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.
