Topic outline

  • There are two graded assignments in this course. The Matlab, Simulink, and C compiler software is needed to complete these assignments. You should install this software on your own computer in good time before the instructions sessions (see the instructions below). Alternatively, you may use computer classrooms on the campus.

    Two instruction sessions per assignment will be held. You may attend as many sessions as you will. If you can use your own laptop for simulations, please take it with you for the instruction sessions.

    General guidelines of the assignments are:

    • The assignments are to be completed in groups of two (recommended) or alone.
    • Both students of the group should contribute all parts of the assignment. Both students of the group should submit their common reports individually. Remember to include your full names and student numbers in your report.
    • You are encouraged to discuss the assignments in general terms with other groups but copying solutions from other groups is not allowed!
    • Reports should be clearly and consistently written.
    • This assignment deals with control of an induction motor drive. First, scalar control as well as motor and inverter models are studied. Then, rotor-flux-oriented vector control is considered. This assignment also aims to familiarise you with implementation of simple discretized algorithms using MATLAB Function blocks in the Simulink software. Two instruction sessions will be held at Teams:

      • Wednesday 17.3.2021 at 10:15-12:00
      • Wednesday 31.3.2021 at 10:15-12:00

      Submit your report as a PDF file and the two requested Simulink models no later than on Wednesday 14.4.2021 at 20:00. Please name all your files starting with your last name, e.g., Lastname_Assignment1.pdf. The assignment will be graded on a scale of 0-15 points (15% of the total available points).

    • This assignment deals with control of a grid converter equipped with an L filter. Two instruction sessions will be held at Microsoft Teams:
      • Wednesday 21.4.2021 at 10:15-12:00
      • Wednesday 5.5.2021 at 10:15-12:00 
      Submit your report as a PDF file and the two requested Simulink models no later than on Wednesday 12.5.2021 at 20:00. The assignment will be graded on a scale of 0-15 points (15% of the total available points). Please name all your files starting with your last name, e.g., Lastname_Assignment2.pdf.
