Summary
The subject develops basic knowledge of controlled electrical drives. It deals with better knowledge of modern methods of controlled electrical drives with synchronous motor, induction motor and with switching reluctance motor. There is also shown applications of artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic in control of electric drives.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of this subject lies in acquisition of theoretical knowledge in control of modern AC drives and in acquisition of some practical experiences with their applications. Obtained informations are useful parts of electrical engineer knowledges, especially for engineers interested in application of AC controlled drives.
