Learning outcomes
The course copes with advanced applications of electromagnetism in industry, energy storage and renewable energy systems. The course gives to students the working principles and the guidelines for the design of the treated applications, as well as the corresponding tools and models for the analysis based on field and circuit methods. Students are addressed to the course contents also trough numerical simulations and experimental laboratory experiences.
