Electric Servo Systems

Definition of servo drives, deficiencies of classical approaches, voltage/frequency supplying of AC machines. Control of converters and modulation approaches. Vector models of AC machines in comparison to DC machines, Field orientation theory, control of servo drives with induction, synchronous, electronically commutated and reluctance motors. Modern methods for open- and closed-loop control. Sensorless control. Discrete control and theory of MIMO systems in the area of servo drives. Microprocessors in servo drives.

Getting to know servo drives, as basis for modern mechatronics, their complexity, and integration of components. Choosing the suitable motor.

Lectures and mandatory laboratory exercises on simulation and experimental models.
