Electric Machines and Control for Electrification - 525.652

This course prepares the student for technical understanding of the principles and theory of operation of electric motors and motor controls commonly used for electrification. Various types of electric motors including permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors and control schemes are covered in this class. The class addresses key performance metrics in electric motor design and construction. Mobile inverter configuration is covered. The course extensively discusses advanced motor control concepts, and their applications for electrification. We use Simulink & Simscape throughout the course. Lab sessions may be integrated as well.
