Purpose of class
Many devices related to infrastructure, such as automobiles and trains, as well as home appliances, information equipment such as personal computers, and various robots and mechatronic devices, utilize electrical energy by converting it into other forms of energy, such as mechanical energy. However, electrical energy is not obtained directly from nature; it is generated by first producing thermal energy from fossil fuels such as oil, which is then converted into mechanical energy and subsequently into electrical energy. The devices responsible for converting between mechanical and electrical energy are electric motors and generators.
This course is conducted in a lecture format and aims to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles and characteristics of motors and generators. In addition, students will learn about the different types of motors and their control methods and acquire the foundational skills in mechatronic system design necessary to select appropriate electrical machines according to specific applications.
