Speakers:

Prof. Jianguo Zhu, School of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Sydney

Dr. Gang Lei, School of Electrical and Data Engineering, University of Technology Sydney

Time: 14:00, Wednesday, July 15th 2020

Abstract:

This webinar presents important aspects of electrical drive system design, including scalar and vectorial characterization of magnetic materials, consideration of electrical machine topologies, drive techniques, and deterministic and robust design optimization methods. Various design concepts, such as application-oriented design, design for high quality manufacturing, and system level optimization, will be introduced and discussed.
