Abstract

In the course "Antriebssysteme I", a complete electrical drive including its main components is investigated. This includes mainly electrical machines, power seminconductors, power electronics converters and control algorithms for the complete drive system. Regarding the machines, the main focus is on the asynchronous machine, but also other concepts are covered.

Objective

The students understand a complete electrical drive system including its main components like electrical machines, converters and controls.

Content

Fundamentals in mechanics and magnetic circuits; Induction machine and synchronous machine; DC machine; Power semiconductors; Converter topologies; Controls (i.e. field oriented control); Traction application; Implementation of the control on a microcontroller.
