ELECTROMECHANICAL ENERGY CONVERSION

Course Description

This course analyzes magnetic materials, magnetic parameters and magnetic properties of the materials. Application of soft magnetic materials and magnetic circuits are also involved in the course. Single phase transformers are analyzed in two categories such as ideal transformers and real transformers. Special purpose transformers such as auto-transformers and their power rating advantage are analyzed. This course also aims to examine three-phase transformers and their functions in power distribution systems. DC machinery fundamentals, simple rotating loop, power flow and losses of real DC machines, analysis of shunt and series connected DC machines and DC generator fundamentals are also take significant part in the course.
