Design and control of electrical machines

The course comprises three parts:

• finite-element analysis of permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), using the open-source ONELAB/Gmsh/GetDP software, plus optimisation
• simulation (in Simulink) of PMSMs, ignoring or considering slotting effects, and vector control 
• lab work with a dSPACE rapid-prototyping system: introduction, identification and vector control of PMSMs  

Give an insight in the FE analysis of electrical machines (in particular PMSMs) and their real-time control.

Lectures and exercises with ONELAB and Simulink. Lab work with dSPACE.
