The Blue Connection

Business simulation THE BLUE CONNECTION (publisher INCHAINGE) which students will play via a web interface (in English). ECAM La Salle is a forerunner in the deployment of this game (we work in parallel with professors from HEC). The game takes place in 6 to 8 rounds, the students work in teams of 3 or 4 and each plays the role of a manager within the fictitious company The Blue Connection:
- Sales management
- Purchasing/design department
- Supply chain management
- Finance department The company sells bicycles (only one model) to 3 different customers and is in great financial difficulty.
The goal of this game is to make the company profitable while developing a circular economy. In each round, the students test and deploy a circularity or life extension strategy (maintenance/warranty, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling). In the final rounds, they must choose their own strategy, implement it and explain it in an individual report.

Systems Engineering S7 1 Electrical Machine & Drives

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.

o Electrical Machines Drives – General Overview: Review on Control Systems, Review on Power Electronics, Review on Electrical Machines
o DC Motors Control: Introduction to DC Drives, Four-Quadrant Control, Closed Loop Control, Electronic Control
o AC Motors Control: Basic Control of Induction Motors (Vs, Vr, F, V/F), Scalar Control
o AC Motors Control: Understanding the Challenges, Park Transformation (dq domain), Dynamic Model of Induction Motors, DC Machine Analogy, Field Oriented Control
