The course is taught in English. The aim of this course is to provide and explain the basic concept of the main electrical machine stationary and dynamic models. In addition, the use of these models will be deeply analyzed from the electrical drive point of view. In order to better link the theoretical part with the mechatronic practical ones information on electrical drives and static power converter will be include too.

The student will be able to apply the knowledge for getting the following targets: Solve the analysis problems of electrical machines in drive applications. Understand the electrical machine technological specifications for a correct use in electrical drives with particular attention to the mechanical load. A correct use of the electrical machine dynamic model for the simulation og mechatronic apparatus. Electrical drive correct use with reference to the main set ups.

The course requires the basic notions of electrical circuit solution and electromagnetism. It is opportune but not necessary that the student has follow a basic course of electrical machines.

The course includes simulation and laboratory activities both for stationary and dynamic behaviors of the electrical machines. The student will be able to check the simulation results with laboratory experiments. The simulations will be presented in the ambit of the theoretical lessons. For the laboratory activities the students are divided in groups.

The teaching materials are lecture notes prepared by the professor and available at the "Printing center of the Politecnico". Files will be available on the Portale della Didattica. (Books, to be considered for in-depth studies only, will be indicated by the professor).

Slides; Video lezioni tratte da anni precedenti;

Modalità di esame: Prova scritta in aula tramite PC con l'utilizzo della piattaforma di ateneo;

Exam: Computer-based written test in class using POLITO platform;

... The exam test is a written test with the scope to verify the student theoretical knowledge. The written test includes two questions evaluated 15/30 each. The final grade is determined averaging the two student answers. During the test is not possible to use any teaching documents such as books, notes, notebooks, phones, etc.

Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilità o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unità Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione più idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.
