Course content
Design of installations and equipment requires both a physical understanding and knowledge of mathematical modelling. Further there is a need to use analytical and numerical methodes to solve sets of equations. In this course several practical problems connected to installations and devices will be highlighted. The students use basic field- and circuit theory to determine parameters which characterise the installation or the different components. Adressed topics are: Circuit models for magnetic, thermal and electrical problems; analogies. Use of dielectric insulation material, field control, shielding. Conductor and contact problems, overheating, bus dimensioning. Magnetic fields, magnetic materials, dynamic magnetic coupled circuits, windings. Eddy currents - surface power density, proximity effects. Inductance, resistance and capacitance. Circuit models. Grounding models. Line/Cabel models. Forces. Energy consideration. Simple modeles for electrical machines.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
After finishing the course the candidate is expected to know:
- the basic electromagnetic laws and the use of potentials for various applications.
- how to use modern numerical software (the Finite Element Method) to solve practical field problems with complex geometries.
- how to recognize phenomena that governs problem in focus and choose the right calculations model.
- how to make mathematical models based on differential equations and circuit theory and use these in advanced simulations.
