Knowledge
This unit concerns either electric machines or power electronics; the topic to be addressed will be selected in short advance, also considering the preferences expressed by the students, who will be purposely inquired.
Any student successfully attending the course will:
* gain a better understanding of the fundamentals of the addressed topic in a more generalized perspective than usually presented in basic courses;
* become able to derive suited ideal and approximated models for analyzing the most common types of selected devices, consciously exploiting the related hypotheses;
* become aware of the main phenomena/issues limiting their performances;
* become able to apply the related basic design criteria;
* possibly acquire some knowledge of pertinent software tools commonly used for the design of the selected devices.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The exam is aimed to verify the degree of knowledge achieved by the student in the different specific topics addressed during the course, as well as the actual level of comprehension of the related conceptual, analytical and applicative correlations and implications.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
Teaching methods
Delivery: face to face
Learning activities:
- attending lectures
- participation in discussions
- individual study
- group work
- Laboratory work
Attendance: Advised
Teaching methods:
- Lectures

- Other
Syllabus
Electric machines:
* general modeling of 1-dof electromagnetomechanical devices
* results for linear devices
* ideal magnetic analysis of radial-flux machines
* models obtained by truncated Fourier analysis
* main characteristics of conductive, insulating, soft and hard magnetic materials
* main variants of machine layout and windings
* electric, magnetic, thermal and mechanical limits
* main criteria for design
Power electronics:
* general concepts: interface and regulation power circuits
* converters: structure and ideal operation description and constraints
* main characteristics of the most common power switching components
* direct converters: topology and
* waveform approximation: spectral approach, harmonic components and families elimination, constrained harmonic optimization, local me
Bibliography
The perspective students are invited to attend the course to take their own notes, since the actual contents of the course unit may vary significantly year by year while the lecturing approach encourages a serious learning attitude pivoting on personal understanding and self-organization: therefore, comparatively few pre-compiled support material will be made available.
