Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students acquire a thorough understanding of the scientific principles underlying vector-oriented control methods for AC machines. They are able to develop mathematical models of these systems and derive appropriate control strategies based on those models. Furthermore, students can analyze, design, and tune field-oriented control schemes for electric drives with respect to efficiency, speed, current, and voltage optimization. The depth of mathematical modeling and analysis covered in these topics is comparable to that presented in P. Vas, Vector Control of AC Machines, Clarendon Press, 1990.
Skills Knowledge
  • Apply the fundamental principles of space vector representation (k3)
  • Analyze and evaluate the operating behavior of various electrical machines using space vector representation (k4)
  • Understand the structure and operation of field-oriented control schemes for rotating electrical machines (k3, k4)
  • Assess field-oriented control strategies for specific machine types from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives (k4)
  • Understand and classify control and modulation methods used in field-oriented control of electrical machines (k4)
The combined lecture is an advanced course on field-oriented control (also known as vector control) of AC machines. Following a review of the fundamental concepts—such as space vector theory, coordinate transformations, and torque production—the course examines vector control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous machines, reluctance machines, and induction machines. The formal models are systematically developed and analyzed, and the advantages as well as limitations of the respective control schemes are discussed and compared.
