Moodle

> https://moodleucl.uclouvain.be/course/view.php?id=8989

- Structure and working principle of the magnetically coupled devices (electromechanical converters, magnetic bearings, magnetic coupling and gears, ...)

- Modelling (local/global, electric/magnetic/thermal, numerical/analytical) of these devices

- Optimization of these devices

With respect to the AA referring system defined for the Master in Electrical Engineering, the course contributes to the development, mastery and assessment of the following skills :

• AA1.1, AA1.2, AA1.3
• AA5.6
• AA6.1, AA6.4

Specific learning outcomes of the course

At the end of the course, the student will be able, based on thetechnical andscientific literature,to :

- Understand the working principle of any magnetically coupled devices (electromechanical transducers, magnetic bearings, and magnetic coupling gear, ...)

- Establish the magnetic, electrical and thermal (elementary) model of such devices

- Use these models to analyse and predict the behaviour of such devices

- Use these models to size or optimize these devices according to given specifications

In addition, he/she will also be able to:

- Perform a bibliographic search in scientific literature

- Perform a critical reading of a scientific article

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.

- Preparation and presentation, during the semester, of a thematic seminar by groups of 2-3 students (50%)

- Oral examination on the seminars presented by the other students (50%)

- Thematic seminars prepared and presented by groups of 2-3 students

- Question-answer and restructuring sessions organized following each thematic seminar

- Guidance sessions organized in groups every week during the three weeks preceding the presentation of the thematic seminar

-The contentvaries from one year to another, and depends on the collection of scientific articles selected for the thematic seminars

- Collection of 14 articles or groups of articles related to the course themes
