Topics

• Modelling and control of the main DC/DC converters (buck, boost, buck-boost).
• Modelling and control of the DC motor with independent excitation. Speed, position and torque control.
• Modelling and control of a DC/AC converter by means of the SV-PWM (Space Vector Pulse With Modulation) technique.
• Modelling and control of an induction motor: V/f control,
• field oriented control and direct torque control.
• Modelling and control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor: field oriented control and direct torque control.
• Brief outline on the advanced control techniques for possible research activities.

Abstract

The course deals with the study of power converters and electrical drives employed in both the industrial field and the electric traction. In particular will be focused the control techniques actually used.

After a presentation of the principal converter topologies (DC/DC and DC/AC) and the related control techniques, we will study the control of different types of electrical drives based on the different types of employed motor. The type of electric machines presented in this course will be the DC machine, the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the induction machines.

Starting from the mathematical model of the electric machine under study, the main control techniques of these machines will be presented, such as the position and speed regulation both open loop and closed loop, the field oriented control, the direct torque control and so on.
