   Development of animated material for e-learning in Solar Powered Electric Vehicles
By Istvan NAGY, Rafael J. KALMAN, Péter STUMPF, Zoltán VARGA, Peter BARTAL [View]
[Download]

Abstract: E-learning elevated the communication of sophisticated scientific knowledge to higher dimensions andmade the understanding and comprehensions much easier. Within the framework of the project ”TeachingEnergy for Sustainable World” (SustEner) financed by the European Union nine practically orientedmodules with remote experiments or interactive animation materials will be offered in a web basedlearning portal. In this paper the development and the operation of one of the modules titled SolarPowered Electric Vehicles is presented.

   Electric Kart as a Student Project
By Lubos STREIT, Jan STEPANEK, Ludek ELIS, Bedrich BEDNAR [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Paper deals with the construction of the electric-kart as a student project. The project was solved by two master thesis and a few semester thesis. The power of this kart is equal to the kart for rent equipped with the combustion engine. The chassis is equipped with Li-ion batteries and DC-motor.

   Iron Loss Calculation by Incorporating LLG Equation into Magnetic Circuit Model
By Hideaki TANAKA, Kenji NAKAMURA, Osamu ICHINOKURA [View]
[Download]

Abstract: This paper presents an iron loss calculation by incorporating the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation into a magnetic circuit model. In the proposed model, dc hysteresis loss is calculated by the LLG equation, and eddy current loss is calculated by a magnetic inductance. The validity is proved by comparing with the catalog values.

   PROPOSAL TO USE THE METHOD OF 'TEACHING THROUGH PROJECT' AS A PEDAGOGICAL MODEL TO PUT THE BASES OF AN ‘EDUCATIONAL MODELING LANGUAGE’ IN THE ACTIVITY OF TRAINI
By Gabriela Dana PETROPOL-SERB, Ion PETROPOL SERB [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Paper is a proposal of the authors, based on a synthesis of theirs practical experience, regarding the implementation of method of teaching through project in the field of electrical machines. Fundamental idea is to illustrate the method of teaching through project as a pedagogical tool of managing the knowledge in area of electrical machines, as an educational language which could respond quickly and creatively to a real problem of designing, complete definite. Is this idea in concordance with actual exigencies_ The answer is positive because the method stimulates the abilities to educate the students/adults and to develop the creativity, both in software applications and also in learning of electrical machines. The source of this idea is the necessity to realize a new and modular hierarchy of the quantitative accumulations in the field of electrical machine, based on the numerical methods, which could be used in various practical situations. The pedagogical method must be an interactive one as ‘teaching through project’. The final product of this idea could be a dynamical software- platform for teaching the designing of a synchronous generator. This product can be applied in student education or in long life training activity.

   Teaching Power Management Techniques for Hybrid Electric Cars by a Interactive Simulation
By Goran STOJCIC, Peter NUSSBAUMER, Simon HECHT, Matthias SAMONIG, Thomas WOLBANK [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Usage of sustainable energy is a key factor for solving future climate issues. The purpose of the project SustEner is to modernize Sustainable Electrical Energy vocational training by enhancing existing or establishing new training methods in enterprises and education. This paper presents the SustEner module power management techniques in hybrid electrical cars.

   Using an industrial hardware target for Matlab generated real-time code to control a torsional drive system
By Philippe SAEY, Thomas DE LANDTSHEER, Ward HAUSPIE, Jos KNOCKAERT, Geert DECONINCK [View]
[Download]

Abstract: Recent developments enable easier transfer of Matlab/Simulink based controller design into real-time code for standard industrial hardware targets. This paper evaluates this design method using state of the art industrial components – embedded controller, high speed remote I/O, Ethernet based industrial network – in a torsional drive system.

   Web-based interactive animated virtual experiments for teaching wind energy utilization
By Pavlos TOUROU, Frederik EINWÄCHTER, Constantinos SOURKOUNIS [View]
[Download]

Abstract: The ongoing energy transition from conventional to renewable energy sources increases the demandfor qualified personnel in the field of alternative power generation. Especially wind energy plays anincreasingly important role in today’s power industry as more electricity is generated by wind on aglobal scale. The complex and multidisciplinary nature of wind energy conversion systems makes theunderstanding of this topic a challenging task. In this paper current e-learning trends, like virtual andremote experiments in electrical engineering education are discussed. A novel web-based learningmodule on wind energy conversion and control that utilizes easy-to use interactive virtual experimentsis introduced. The first part of this module, which deals with the initial stage in the wind energyconversion process, is presented. Two interactive virtual experiments are developed that introduce thelearner to the energy content of wind and the operation and power control of the wind rotor. Thegraphical user interface and the operation of the experiments are discussed in detail, as well asdifferent learning objectives and interaction possibilities.
