Overview
What you will study
Motors are becoming better and cheaper—opening profitable new applications across industries. In the Design of Electric Motors, Generators, and Drive Systems course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for engineers and product designers, you will learn to assess and design electric motors, generators, and drive systems, with emphasis on electric drives, including traction drives and drive motors.
By taking this course, you will:
- Understand the field and energy conservation description of magnetic forces
- Use circuit techniques to describe electric machinery
- Describe power electronic circuits used to control electric machines
- Explore power electronic losses and efficiency as affected by frequency of operation.
- Assess the expansion of windings in space harmonics and use of those space harmonics to describe machine operation
- Discover how permanent magnets are used in electric machinery
- Examine the interactions between electromechanics of motors and power electronics and controls
- Learn to apply operational requirements in electric machine design
- Receive an introduction to Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) embedded control
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Elements of energy conversion: energy, co-energy, force and torque as derivatives of energy, field- based force calculations
- Energy conversion in electric machines: force and shear density, machine power density and efficiency
- Review of the principles of the basic machine types: synchronous, induction, variable reluctance
- Power electronic circuits including inverters, phase control and pulse width modulation
- Exercises in the use of MATLAB and Octave
- Induction machines in some depth
- Performance evaluation of electric machines
- Field-oriented control
- Permanent magnet machines
- Control strategies for PM machines: torque/speed limitations, taking advantage of negative saliency, elements of field oriented control
- Optimal machine design, considering application details
- Digitally-enabled embedded control applications
