The course is aimed to provide the basic and advanced knowledge on electrical machines as required in modern applications and preliminary for the machine control. The study of the electrical machines will begin stating the operating principles of the machines and their equivalent circuits, therefore, it will continue with the study of the dynamic operation and models. About the rotating ac machines, also the equivalent circuit at qd0 will be introduced according to the generalized theory of electrical machines (or of the arbitrary references frames). After completing the course, the student will acquire the enabling knowledge for using the electric machines in static and dynamic loads in all industrial and civil applications with particular attention to energy saving, for example electrical traction, energy production and conversion, renewable energy.
