Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of the course the student can design and dimension transformers and rotating electrical machines taking the economical, technical and environmental aspects into account.

Welcome to Design of Electrical Machines.
Lecture: Online with zoom
Lecture Link: https://aalto.zoom.us/s/63135040557
Content: Introduction to the basics of electrical machine design which include, The Electromagnetic, Thermal, Mechanical designs of electrical motor and
transformer. Students will have the opportunity to design transformer and
perform a numerical simulation for different operating conditions with Comsol
Multiphysics.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Approved practical exercise and calculation exercises.
Applies in this implementation:
No exam.Mandatory assignments and simulation exercises.
The course is graded based on three individual assignment reports,
Analytical design of transformer and simulation exercise. The analytical design and simulations are carried out in a group
of two students.-3 assignments (1/3rd of grade).
-Simulation exercise, and final report of
transformer (2/3rd of grade).
