• Electromagnetism and electromechanical models with application to rotating electric machines
• Principles of electromechanical energy conversion.
• Dc machines and their electric drive system.
• Rotating magnetic fields and AC windings.
• The space vectors and the dq0 reference frame.
• Operating principles for synchronous machines.
• Operating principles for asynchronous machines.
• Introduction to three-phase electric drive systems.

After passing the course, the student shall be able to
•    describe the basic principles of electromechanical conversion
•    explain the principles of rotating magnetic field generation through the construction of AC windings
•    explain the operating principles of DC machines, synchronous machines and induction machines
•    use analytical models for describing the operation of DC machines, synchronous machines and induction machines
•    use the space vector theory and the reference frame theory to describe the operation of AC machines
•    describe the most important parts of a DC electric drive and a three-phase electric drive.

• Conventional lectures by the teacher, where the most important concepts are explained and discussed.
• Matlab/Simulink tutorials in an online format, where the teacher goes through some fundamental aspects of using the Matlab/Simulink software concerning electric machines and drives.
• Project support sessions, where the students receive support from the teacher concerning the assignment for the examination.
• One laboratory session, where the students have some hands-on experience with electric machines. This session is mandatory.

The following table reports the course schedule for the semester HT22. It is the same as the one published on the official KTH Schedule, with some minor changes in the content (some lectures became assignment support, and vice versa).

The lectures are held at the campus in the indicated rooms. They will also be recorded and made available on these CANVAS pages.

Schedule changes will be communicated in advance. Hope it will not be necessary.

Schema HT-2021-33

• Electrical circuit analysis (for example EI1110 Electrical circuit analysis, extended course or EI1120 Electrical circuit analysis for the energy and environment program)
• Electromagnetic theory (for example EI1220 Electromagnetic theory E or EI1225 Electromagnetic theory, introductory course for energy and environment)

Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:

Funka - compensatory support for students with disabilities

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

• LAB2 - Laboratory work, 0.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F
• PROA - Project work, 5.5 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Laboratory work ( LAB2 )

Project work ( PROA )

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
