With respect to the AA referring system defined for the Master in Electrical Engineering, the course contributes to the develoopment, mastery and assessment of the following skills :
At the end of the course, the student will be able to : - Derive the dynamic model of electromechanical converters (DC and brushless DC machines, synchronous and asynchronous machines) in order to control them, in particular by exploiting the variable transformations (Concordia, Park and Clarke). - Describe the main control strategies of these converters (scalar V/f control of asynchronous machines, vector and direct torque control for asynchronous and synchronous machines) and choose them according to the application. - Use the adapted dynamic models in order to simulate the dynamic behaviour of these converters - Use the adapted dynamic models in order to synthesize type P, PI or PID controllers. - Use the adapted dynamic models in order to check the robustness and performance of a controller regarding modelling simplifications, external disturbances, changes in the machine parameters, ... |

Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Teaching is organized in the form of:- Lectures;
- Homework on modelling and control of the various electromechanical converters seen during the lectures.
The homework are performed in groups of 2 or 3 students and lead to a synthesis report, which is evaluated and is involved in the final evaluation of the course.
Due to health constraints, the lectures will be organized simultaneously face-to-face for some of the participants and remotely (using a web conferencing tool) for the other ones. Details are provided on the Mooldle platform.
The practical work sessions (consulting sessions for the homework as well as laboratory sessions) will, in principle, be organized face-to-face. Details will also be provided on Moodle.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The final grade is based on:- the grades obtained for the homework reports done in groups during the semester,
- the grade obtained for an oral exam (closed book) dealing with all the topics of the course.
Depending on the health situation, the exam could be a remote one with adapted modalities.
Other information
Concerning the homework:
- Supervised sessions are organized weekly in a computer classroom
- The software used is Matlab/Simulink
- Supervised sessions are organized weekly in a computer classroom
- The software used is Matlab/Simulink

Evaluation methods
The final grade is based on:
- the grades obtained for the homework reports done in groups during the semester,
- the grade obtained for a closed-book oral exam dealing with all the topics of the course.
- for all students, if required by the health situation.
- for students who, prior to the examination, can prove that they are unable to take part in the examination on site, as attested by a certificate of quarantine or a 'return form' from the SPF Foreign Affairs.
