Course Program
The primary goal of the course is to introduce the fundamentals of electric machine design to engineering students.
Design is approached using both:
- Analytical tools (e.g., calculation of magnetic circuits, windings, mutual and leakage inductance coefficients)
- Numerical tools, particularly the Finite Element Method (FEM)
The course includes numerous computer-based and laboratory exercises. Today, detailed electric machine design is typically carried out with dedicated numerical software, often based on FEM, although some commercial tools use the Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) method.
Course Highlights:
- A substantial part of the course is dedicated to project review and computer-aided design (CAD).
- Numerical methods for solving electromagnetic fields in electric machines and for parameter calculation are covered.
- Several case studies are developed to analyze significant machine types.
