Energy Conversion in Mechatronics

Objective

Knowledge of the relevant target parameters with the Design process of electrical machines. Understanding and use of methods, which are used during the Design optimization.

Content

The field of application of the electrical machines reaches from the clock drive over engines for electric power tools, industrial drives and vehicles up to the generators for the energy production. Starting with the general bases of the machine Design target parameters for two selected types of electrical machines are deduced and optimization tasks are treated. Computer-aided methods are applied like: Finite elements or simulations. Further practice-relevant models are presented from higher electrical engineering, as well as from the directly involved fields of activity such as mechanics, fluid dynamics/cooling, insulation technology. The lecture material is deepened by exercises on the basis of practical examples. Integrated constituent of the lecture is a industrial visit for illustrating the practice.
