Modeling and Analysis of Electric Machines

Course Objectives

- To build up a solid basis for developing mathematical models of

electric machines in a form convenient for the analysis,

- To acquire knowledge and skills in digital simulation tools.

 Modeling
A model is the substitute of the real system.

The model must reflect the essential characteristics of the physical system.

- Model is developed from the physical laws: Kirchhoff's laws, Newton’s laws, …
- Mathematical Model may be obtained from physical model.
 Analysis

A detailed examination of anything complex in order to understand its

nature or to determine its essential features: a thorough study

Solution Simulation
= imitation or representation
of the functioning of one
system or process by means
Validation of the functioning of an other
= examination of a problem
Analysis often not subject to direct
experimentation by means of
a simulating device
= Computer Simulation:
