   Development of a grid connected micro wind generator. A practical activity for the course on electric generation with wind energy
By Marcos LAFOZ, Jose M. SANCHEZ, Maria Eugenia DIAZ, Carlos VEGANZONES [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper describes a practical activity, part of the renewable energy course where the students haveto build their own complete wind generation system, including blades, PM-generator, powerelectronics and control. After connecting the system to the electric grid the system has been testedduring real wind scenarios. The paper will describe the electric part of the work surface-mountedpermanent magnet machine design criteria as well as the power electronics part for the power controland the grid connection. A Kalman filter is used for the voltage phase estimation and currentcommands obtained in order to control active and reactive power. The connection to the grid has beendone and active and reactive power has been measured in the system.

   Drive systems with torsional load: versatile low-cost educational laboratory set-up
By Philippe SAEY, Xavier CAUWE, Geert DECONINCK [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Laboratory set-ups for drive systems with torsional load are rather expensive and therefore rarely used in engineering education. In this paper, a versatile low-cost solution is developed, some industrially relevant examples and experiments are presented, and a day program for student exchanges with associated university colleges is discussed.

   Teaching drive control using Energetic Macroscopic Representation - Summer schools
By Alain BOUSCAYROL [View]
[Download]

Abstract: The Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) has been imitated in 2000 to define control schemes of electric drives. Since 2002 this graphical tool has been introduced to teach drive control in France, then Canada, Switzerland and more recently China. A first paper has described a 5-ECTS unit for initiation level in a Master degree. A second paper has described a 5-ECTS unit for an expert level in a Master degree. This paper is devoted to a 3-day EMR summer school in order to initiate scientists and engineers to this new graphical method. A specific programme has been developed to face the short time of this summer school, including simulation workshops
