Requisites:

ECE 20002 or (ECE 20200 and ECE 25500) and ECE 32100 and ECE 38200 (may be taken concurrently)

Requisites by Topic:

Differential Equations; Laplace transform techniques; basic electrical characteristics of bi-polar and field-effect transistors; basic electrical characteristics of dc, reluctance, permanent-magnet ac, and induction machines

Catalog Description:

The operation, analysis, and control of electromechanical systems are covered, including a treatment of electromechanical devices, power electronics, and control systems. Sample applications include servo-systems, propulsion drives, and variable-speed rotational equipment.

Course Objectives:

To establish the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of several electro-mechanical conversion systems and to design and analyze motion control systems used in position, speed, and acceleration applications.

Learning Outcomes:

1. an understanding of the structure, design, and operating characteristics of dc drive systems including dc/dc converters, associated switching strategies, dynamic-average-value models, and speed/position/trajectory motion control systems. [1,2]
2. an understanding of the structure, design and operating characteristics of brushless dc drive systems including dc/ac inverters, associated switching strategies, dynamic-average-value models, and speed/position/trajectory motion control systems. [1,2]
3. an understanding of the operating principles and control of stepper motors including the design of optimum acceleration/deceleration profiles. [1,2]
4. an understanding of the structure, operating characteristics, and modeling of field-oriented induction motor drive systems. [1,2]
