Objectives Students know and understand the non-linear modeling of electric machines within different reference systems. They apply methods for different machine types, areas of application, and operating ranges. The focus is on a detailed description of the machine characteristics with regard to several target variables, such as torque, inductances, loss components, temperature behavior, etc. At the same time, the associated simulation and measurement effort should be kept to a minimum. The considered methods are then applied to optimize an electric machine for specified design parameters and objectives. Students learn and understand the advantages and disadvantages of different optimization techniques and problem formulations and their influence on the result to be obtained.

A suitable book covering this course content is not currently known. However, reference is made to the lab lecture notes and papers listed under "Study Material".
