This course covers the basic characteristics of DC and AC motors and describe their principle of operation and control within a power electronic environment. Basics in power electronics, electric machines and control circuits are reviewed and the overall systems is studied. Control techniques for DC drives are underlined and the four-quadrant operation is analysed. Control strategies for AC drives are discussed as well, mainly the scalar control, the field oriented control and the direct torque control. Detailed modelling of the control of induction motors using the FOC method is carried out.
