Aims

To enable the student to gain practical experience in the design, simulation, construction and testing of an electrical drive system. The student will develop experimental skills through the measurement, analysis and verification of results and the findings will be communicated in a technical report.

Outline Of Syllabus

1.       Research electrical drive technology.
2.       Design and simulate an electric drive system.
3.       Experimental test, analysis and verification of the system
4.       Production of a written technical report.

Teaching Rationale And Relationship

This module will bring together material covered in the MSc lecture programme in a practical setting. This structured project work will ensure all students on the MSc course take part in practical activity involving design, simulation, construction, testing, analysis and evaluation (not all aspects are necessarily covered in the individual project).

The Lab sessions/PiP are the main core of the module which provide an opportunity for MSc/CDT students to gain practical experience and validate the theory of electric drive system, students will carry out /achieve/gain: familiarization with laboratory equipment/construction of three-phase inverter/experimental testing of inverter/soldering exercise/diagrammatic interpretation of software operation, and finally production of top-quality technical report.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Assessment Rationale And Relationship

Project milestones enable the student to demonstrate suitable progression through the project. The written report will enable students to demonstrate their ability to critically analyze and discuss results and produce a technical document
The in-lab demonstration of results will give students the opportunity to receive immediate feedback on the correctness of their results and help identify any issues with the constructed board.
