Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE A WEALTH OF THEORETICAL AND APPLICATIVE KNOWLEDGE ON THE OPERATING PRINCIPLES AND THE CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING AND USING ELECTRIC DRIVES IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR. THE DIDACTIC APPROACH ALLOWS STUDENTS TO BUILD A ROBUST BACKGROUND ON ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS AND ON SMART INTEGRATED ELECTROMECHANICAL ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS. ELEMENTS OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND PROTECTIONS ARE PROVIDED.
Prerequisites
KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS ARE REQUIRED FOR REACHING OF THE OBJECTIVES
Contents
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES: MOTION GENERATION PROBLEMS IN AUTOMATIC MACHINES AND INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS. APPLICATION EXAMPLES.
MOTOR-LOAD COUPLING: MOTOR-TRANSMISSION-USER STRUCTURE. CHARACTERISTIC OF MOTORS AND LOADS. CONTINUOUS AND INTERMITTENT OPERATIONAL FIELDS. MOTOR / LOAD COUPLING: TRANSIENT AND STEADY-STATE, EFFECT OF SPEED REDUCER AND INERTIA.
ELEMENTS OF ELECTROMAGNETISM: THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS. MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER. ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC CIRCUITS. GENERATION OF A ROTATING MAGNETIC FIELD WITH A THREE-PHASE CURRENT SYSTEM. ENERGY DISSIPATION IN A FERROMAGNETIC CORE.
ELECTRIC ACTUATORS: DC MOTOR WITH PERMANENT MAGNETS AND EXCITATION, THREE-PHASE ASYNCHRONOUS MOTOR, HINTS TO OTHER TYPES OF MACHINES.
ELECTRONIC POWER CONVERTERS: CLASSIFICATION. SINGLE-PHASE AND THREE-PHASE AC / DC CONVERSION SCHEMES. CHOPPER AND FULL-BRIDGE DC / DC CONVERTERS. SINGLE-PHASE AND THREE-PHASE DC / AC CONVERTERS.
MOTOR CONTROL: CONTROL OF MOTORS IN POSITION, SPEED AND TORQUE.
PROTECTION IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: EFFECTS OF CURRENT IN THE HUMAN BODY. PROTECTION FROM DIRECT AND INDIRECT CONTACTS. PROTECTION OF MACHINES AND PLANTS FROM OVERCURRENTS AND SHORT-CIRCUITS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF ONLY ORAL INTERVIEW DURING WHICH THE PROJECT IS ALSO DISCUSSED. THE TESINA WEIGHS FOR ABOUT 30% OF THE FINAL VOTE.
