Electromechanical Energy Conversion
Objectives
Students must learn the fundamental concepts of the Electromechanical Energy Conversion in electromechanical systems.
The focused converter machines are the asynchronous, the synchronous and the direct-current machines, specially their constitution and their characteristics, both as generators and as motors.
The students must learn these machines’ operation and how to handle them in industrial environment.

Teaching method
The matter is taught in theoretical and practical classes, with the support of projected figures and schematics. During a 2h weekly practical class, students either solve with the help of the teacher problems illustrating the exposed matters, or execute laboratorial works. In the laboratory-practical classes, the students either solve problems related to the exposed matter or carry out laboratory work with the teacher''s support.Written tests (during the semester) or a final written examination, with theoretical and practical questions, are made by the students.
Evaluation method
Evaluation:
Includes a theoretical component (Comp. TP) and a practical component (Comp. P), with weights of 80% and 20%, respectively, for the final classification. The classification in each component (TP and P) must be greater than 9,5.
Comp. P - Two experimental works (TA1 and TA2), whose classification must be greater than or equal to 9.5 and is mandatory for obtaining frequency.
Comp. TP - can be made by:
a) 3 Tests (T)
Classif. Comp. TP = (0,30*T1 + 0,35*T2 + 0,35*T3) >= 9,5 val.
with T3 >= 7,0 val.
b) Final Exam (Ex) >= 9,5 val.
The final grade is obtained by:
NF = (0.80 * Comp.TP) + (0.10 * TA1 + 0.10 * TA2)
The classification obtained for experimenatl work is valid for 2 years.
ONLY numerical calculators will be allowed during tests and/or exams.
