This unit will help the student to understand the fundamentals of the dynamic modelling theory of electric machines and the relevant systems of equations representing the dynamic behaviour of these devices. The students will also learn how to implement, set up and execute these standard dynamic machine models in software. The unit will also introduce the fundamental operating principles of the relevant power electronic switches and build on this to teach the principles of operation of power electronic converters and how the operation of these devices is mathematically represented and analysed. <figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>On successful completion of this unit, a student will be able to:</td><td>Topic:</td></tr><tr><td>ILO 1: Evaluate and compare the operation and behaviour of fundamental power electronic devices (Diodes/IBGTs/MOSFETs/Thyristors)</td><td>Power Electronic Devices</td></tr><tr><td>ILO 2: Design, evaluate and mathematically analyse/solve operation and behaviour of fundamental power electronic systems (inverters/rectifiers)</td><td>Power Electronic Systems</td></tr><tr><td>ILO 3: Build models and develop analysis of electric machines and basic equivalent models.</td><td>Electric machines</td></tr><tr><td>ILO 4: Build models and evaluate – analyse behaviour of electrical machines with dynamic models.</td><td>Dynamic machine models</td></tr><tr><td>ILO 5: Classify renewables (wind and solar), develop models, and analyse the renewable connection via converters to power systems.</td><td>Renewables</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> 1 Written exam 80% 3 Report 20% .
