LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course, students will be able to:
1) draw and explain block diagrams of typical vector-controlled motor drives and grid-connected converter systems;
2) design three-phase current controllers;
3) select current references for different AC motors;
4) build simulation models for drive systems and grid-connected converter systems;
5) explain the most essential relationships between the motor drives and grid-connected converters.
