Type of course: Core Engineering

Prerequisite: DC machine and AC machine and Power Electronics.
Rationale:

Rationale: Today’s industrial and domestic loads demands precise and smooth variable speed control. The development of compact thyristor power converters has made this possible by smooth speed control of both AC and DC motors which are employed for several applications such as
DC/AC drives, Vehicles and renewable energy. This course enables to develop the basics of electric drives and maintain different types of DC in industries.

Note: This specification table shall be treated as a general guideline for students and teachers. The actual distribution of marks in the question paper may vary slightly from above table.

Course Outcome:

1) After learning the course the students should be able to:identify the need and select various drives.

2) Gain the knowledge about operation of d.c. motor speed control using choppers.

3) Acquire the knowledge of different speed control methods in a.c. motors using thyristors based control schemes.

Design based Problems (DP)/Open Ended Problem:

1) Design Choppers for the speed control of DC motor drives for four-quadrant operation with
current limit.

2) Design controllers for closed-loop operation of a separately excited DC motor drive.

Major Equipment:

1) Digital Multimeter, Digital Tachometer, Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Various Trainer boards for DC Drives, etc.

2) Any one simulation software (Open source software preferred): Scilab/ Matlab and Simulink toolbox.

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS:

Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos, animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding theory and practical work – The
faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the entire syllabus to be covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the web-site of the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the faculty, Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should submit to GTU.
