I.Course Introduction (including teaching goals and requirements) within 300 words:
“Design Theory and Method of Modern Electrical Machine” is a major elective course for the master of Electrical Machines and Drives, focuses on the basic theory and method of modern electrical machines. Along with the development of materials, power electronics devices and control theory, motor, this traditional electrical engineering field, also burst out of a lot of new technology trends, such as the occurrence of permanent magnet motor can obtain high power density, evolve abundant topology forms; Power electronics technology makes the modern motor and control system more and more tight, motor performance is closely related to the controller. These demand the motor can be designed more accurate, and put forward new requirements about the magnetic circuit calculation, parameter calculation, loss calculation and performance calculation. This course combines modern motor application requirements, tell about the basic theory of electrical machine design and the commonly used methods in recent years, and it is mainly about magnetic circuit calculation, parameter calculation, winding design, loss and temperature rise, etc.
