EEK231 Sustainable energy sources(7.5 credits) Ola CarlsonThe course in Sustainable energy sources deals with the energy production oftoday and tomorrow. The energy forms that the course covers are heat-energy,electric-energy, and energy for transportation. The main emphasis in the course ison sustainable energy production plants, such as wind power and photo voltage.Further, electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles will be important parts of thetransportation system in the future; the technology used for energy transformationbetween mechanical and electrical systems such as electrical motors andgenerators, transformation between different voltages, and transformers andconverters, are discussed in the course. Systems for distributed heating andheating of single houses is also covered in the course.EEK565 Electric power engineering(7.5 credits) Aleksander BartnickiAfter this course students will understand the basic principles of electric powercomponents and systems, as well as know the possibilities and limitations of them.In addition, they will also learn important concepts and calculation methods.ENM011 Environmental technique & Electric Power Engineering(7.5 credits, of which 3 Credits is Electric Power Engineering) JohanBoman and Torbjörn ThiringerThis course is given for the automation and mechatronics curriculum, year 2, andis taught in Swedish. The overall purpose of the course is to provide fundamentalknowledge regarding the ability to develop environmental-friendly techniques. Inthe power engineering part of the course the students are provided withknowledge about electrical machines, and how to design a torque and speedcontrolled system. Moreover, they learn about the operation of basic powerelectronic circuits as well as power loss and thermal calculation of powerelectronic semiconductors. Apart from lectures and tutorials there are alsocomputer simulation laboratory exercises as well as an experimental laboratoryexercises.FSP025 Technical communication(7.5 credits) Torbjörn ThiringerThis course is conducted in cooperation with the High Voltage Engineering Groupat Chalmers as well as language teachers from the Language and CommunicationGroup. The goal is to give students a good linguistic foundation and the habit ofusing the English language, in order to compose, write and present various typesof reports and projects as well as to use literature in English. In the course anelectro technical problem is also treated. The purpose of the project is to enhancethe students‟ capacity of working in a group, to produce a report and an oral16 |
