Description
The aims of this module are to investigate current electronic motor drive technology as it applies to both DC and AC electric machines.The module is delivered by way of lectures, practical demonstration of motor and drive types and student simulation of a vareity of drive circuitry using PSIM software.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Analyse the operation of single and 3-phase controlled rectifier circuits
2.
Perform computer aided solutions and simulations, where appropriate.
3.
describe in block diagram form the structure of a motor drive system.
4.
Analyse the behaviour of coventional AC Induction motors
5.
Comprehend the operation of AC VAriable Speed Drives and DC motor drives.
6.
Develop the AC motor equivalent circuit and the DC motor transfer function for conventional machines.
Module Assessment Strategies
End of semester written exam complemented by continuous practical/simulation work and a mid term continuous assessment paper
