Course content
1) Power circuit of drives with DC motor supplied from AC power grid and from DC overhead line. Steady states and selected transient states. 2) Regulation algorithms of DC drives with torque control in the field of traction applications and with speed control and rotation angel control in the field of industry applications and energetics. 3) Mathematical models of power circuits and regulation algorithms of DC drives. Synthesis of regulation algorithm parameters. Computer simulation. 4) Power circuit of drives with either induction or synchronous motors fed from AC power grid and from an overhead line. Steady states and selected transient states. 5) Scalar control of drives with induction motor. Regulation algorithms without a speed sensor and strategy of the current limitation. Regulation algorithms with feedback from a speed sensor used in industry and traction applications. 6) Principal diagrams of a vector control and a direct torque control of induction motors, description of an operation in steady states and selected transient states. 7) Regulated drives with a synchronous motor. Theoretical judgement of speed regulation possibilities. Relation between change of the stator frequency and a load angle, issue of pulling out of synchronism. 8) Regulation algorithms of drives with a synchronous motor used in industry and traction applications. Principle of a vector control, issue of a flux weakening in case of the permanent magnet synchronous machine. 9) The Brushless DC motor. The principle of an operation in comparison with a vector controlled synchronous machine and the conventional DC motor. The principal diagram of regulation algorithms, description of an operation in a driving and braking mode. 10) and 11) Drives with switched reluctance and synchronous reluctance motors, linear motors and stepping motors - basic principle of their operation. 12) Basic principle of a real time microprocessor drive's control, discrete digital equivalent of the continuous PI controller. 13) Power rating of drives and converters, methods of determination of their nominal powers.
