An Electrical machine is one of the key components of the energy transition from traditional fossil energy to renewable energy. The purpose of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of electrical machines and their applications in drive systems. The students should have an in-depth understanding of energy conversion and understand the principles of the most commonly used machines from a series of theories and lab exercises. The classical theories of electromagnetic energy conversion and electromechanical energy conversion will be introduced first. The induction machines and the synchronous machines will then be treated after introducing the rotational field theories. The drive systems and the mechanical transmission elements will be explained and examples of their applications will be given in the lectures. Different operating modes of the electrical machines will be treated and the thermal characteristics will also be discussed.
