Teaching methods
The course will be organised as flipped classroom.
General information will be delivered by recorded or online lectures. The lectures in presence, about 70% overall, will be organised in the lab, where the students will perform numerical simulations of electrical drives in SimScape/MATLAB under the supervision of the professor.
Assessment methods
The final test will be written with a number of questions, aiming at assessing:
- knowledge of electrical engineering technology;
- knowledge of electric machines and drives;
- capacity of design of electric drives;
The overall assessment will be based on the quality of the presentation and on the accuracy of answers.
Moreover, students shall prepare a report on simulations of electric drives with MATLAB/SimScape.
Teaching tools
Lessons are delivered with the aid of slides.
Numerical simulations of machines and drives are made in the classroom by MATLAB/SimScape.
