 [2021-22] Control of Electromechanical Systems

for the Program ''Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree on Sustainable Transportation and Electrical Power Systems'' (EMJMD STEPS)

  • Period: first semester (September-October 2021)
  • Begin: Monday, September 27, 2021
  • End: Wednesday, October 20, 2021
  • Schedule:
    • Mon 08:30 - 11:00 (A4, via Ariosto)
    • Wed 08:30 - 11:00 (A4, via Ariosto)
    • Thu 17:15 - 18:45 (Aula 25, via Eudossiana)
  • Important news. My CEMS lectures will take place in the classroom (possibly, with some restrictions due to the COVID-19 situation). However, the lectures will be available also in streaming using Zoom (for obtaining the link and the password to enter the virtual class, please send an email message to gaz [at] diag [dot] uniroma1 [dot] it).

Aims: The module introduces the basic principles and schemes for the regulation of the speed in electrical drives used for motion control. At the end, the student will be able to design a control scheme of the motor speed, based on proportional/integral error feedback and feedforward actions.

Reference textbook: S.N. Vukosavic: Digital Control of Electrical Drives, Springer, 2007 [considered sections are taken from chapters 1-4].
