Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Dr. P. Milner
Prerequisite: 431-103 Electrical Engineering 1
Corequisite: 436-201 Introduction to Dynamics and Level 2 Mathematics for Engineers.
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorial and laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion students should:
- be familiar with the concepts and terminology of electrical power engineering;
- be able to describe the construction of common electrical and mechanical power sources
- understand the operating characteristics of common electrical and mechanical devices used for motive power
- be able to construct time and frequency - domain models of simple electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic engineering components and systems
- be able to compute time-and frequency-domain responses of linear dynamical systems
Content:
Electric power systems: d. c. and a. c. power supplies and distribution systems; inverters, transformers and rectifiers; principles and operation of single and multi-phase a. c. machines, induction motors, and d. c. machines; solid-state control of machines.Mechanical power systems: Principles and operation of electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic servo valves and actuators.
System modelling: Unified approach to modelling electrical, mechanical and thermal systems: "across" and "through" variables; equilibrium, constraint and constitutive equations; block diagrams, transfer function and state-space representations.
System responses: Computation of transient and steady-state time responses and harmonic frequency responses; Bode plots. Relationship between response characteristics and pole-zero locations. Use of Matlab for system response calculations.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; tests, assignments and laboratory reports, not exceeding 20 pages.
