Overview
To provide module participants with in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and models of various types of electrical machines, of the operation and control of these machines as generators and motors, and the ability to design the machines and their control systems. The importance of rotating electrical machines as energy converters is ever growing, not just in large electric power plants but also in smaller distributed generators driven by gas, hydro and wind turbines. They are also increasingly used for electric propulsion in electric and hybrid-electric vehicles and marine vessels, besides electric railways. The topics are grouped into three areas:
- Modelling and Analysis of Electrical Machines
- Design of Electrical Machines
- Control Systems for Electrical Machines as Motors and Generators
What You’ll Learn
- Analytical Modelling and Simulation of Electrical Machines
- Finite Element Modelling and Simulation of Electrical Machines
- Analytical Design of Electrical Machines
- Design of Electrical Machines using Finite Element Methods
- Analysis and Design of Electrical Drives for Traction and Automation Applications
- Analysis and Design of Electrical Machine Systems for Generation Applications
Who Should Attend
- Engineers working in power and energy sector;
- IT professionals in any power and energy related businesses;
- Electrical and electronic engineering professionals;
- Researchers and educators in electrical engineering and urban sustainability related areas.
Prerequisites
- Bachelor degree in Engineering
- At least one year of relevant working experience

What Industry Experts Say
Extract from preface of an official reference book used for this module:
“Calculation and design of electrical machines and drives remain challenging tasks. However, this becomes even more and more important as there are increasing numbers of applications being equipped with electrical machines. Some recent examples well-known to the public are wind energy generators and electrical traction drives in the automotive industry. To realize optimal solutions for electrical drive systems it is necessary not only to know some basic equations for machine calculation, but also to deeply understand the principles and limitations of electrical machines and drives.”
– [Dieter Gerling, “Electrical Machines - Mathematical Fundamentals of Machine Topologies”, Springer-Verlag, 2015]

These modules are stackable towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering (PGCert EPE) or can be taken individually as a single module as follows:
Each module carries 6 ECTS credits which are stackable for graduate qualification of PGCert EPE. Candidates who pass any of the above 4 modules (totalling 24 credits) with a CGPA of 2.5 or more will be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering (PGCert EPE) by SIT. All the above modules are subsidised by SkillsFuture Singapore. Eligible individual may enjoy up to a maximum of 5 subsidised modules.
The above modules have been renamed from EPE60XX to EEE60XX for modules starting from Sep 2019. There is otherwise no change in stackability towards the Postgraduate Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering
