Design of Electrical Machines

The concept of the electromagnetic design of electrical machines and determination of their basic parameters. Design of electrical machine magnetic circuits and electric circuit. Theory and application of finite element methods in engineering design of electrical machines. Application of commercial software packages in the design of electric machines. Calculations of equivalent circuit parameters and output characteristics of the induction machine, synchronous machine, electric machine with permanent magnets, reluctance machine and the latest types of electrical machines from their geometric data. The calculations of iron and copper losses and determining the efficiency of designed electric machines. Introduction to optimization procedures in the design of electric machines.

The aim of the course is to acquire theoretical knowledge required for the design of electrical machines. Getting to know and to use specialized software packages for the design of electrical machines. To prepare the students for the synthesis and analysis of geometric models of electric machines and their use to analyze stationary and transient electromagnetic and electromechanical states.
