Objectives and competences
The objective of the course is to equip students with knowledge of modern control principles of brushless permanent magnet and switched reluctance motors. Special attention will be given to current, speed and torque control algorithms of brushless motors in order to achieve optimal parameters of the electric motor drive. Students will be able to design a control algorithm and to select an appropriate type of switch-mode power converter for a brushless motor drive.
