RQEI Workshop on Testing Electrical Machines for Electric Vehicles
Available free of charge to all students and members of the RQEI
Presented by: Concordia University’s Energy and Power Electronics Research Group
The PEER group laboratory is equipped with dynamometer test-benches, VFDs and associated equipment required for performing various tests on machines. One among them is a full-fledged, high power, state-of-the-art dynamometer test facility capable of testing machines up to 200 hp.
The aim of this workshop is to provide hands-on experience to research students in the field of electric machine drives on operating industrial drives for testing of electric vehicles (EVs). The workshop will cover:
-
- basic theory of DC machines and induction machines,
- power electronic converters for control of machines,
- operation of variable frequency drives (VFD),
- sensors instrumentation and data acquisition, and
- industrial testing standards and procedure for testing electric machines used in electric vehicles.
Language of instruction : English
Prerequisites: Matlab-Simulink software, Basics of electrical circuits, Basic electrical machines, Basics of control systems
Dates : from October 26th to October 30
Venue : Zoom conference
