Control and simulation principles of drives and converter systems

University of Vaasa: SATE3230 Control and simulation principles of drives and converter systems, 5 ECTS. The generalized machine theory is the subject of modeling the electric machines and drives as well as the power system and it needs understanding of e.g. electrical machines in space phasor models, axes transformations, dynamic modeling. The theory given in this course will be applied on the machines, drives and power electronics converter modelling and control. Instantaneous Active and Reactive power theories are taught and their application are introduced. After completing this course successfully, the student - understands the latest development in electronics, machines and modern control theories, - understands the machine models with power electronics, - has developped their analytical abilities for understanding electrical machines dynamics, - has a general approach for modeling of electromechanical devices - has an overview about simulation of drives in power systems as well as about the dynamics and control of grid-connected inverters.
