IEEE FWCS PES/IAS Seminar: Fundamentals of Electrical Machines, Drive, and Motor Controls
This seminar provides an overview of the AC and DC machines and the types of controllers utilized for both motors and generators, based on the textbook “Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems” and the USF EMD class materials. There will be a live demonstration of the AC/DC motor generator model at the seminar to demonstrate key concepts of the training.
Whether you’re a student, early‑career engineer, or seasoned professional, this session will strengthen your understanding of how motors and generators operate—and how they are controlled in modern power and industrial systems.
Topics this seminar will cover:
Ø Introduction
Ø DC Generators
Ø DC Motors
Ø Three Phase Induction Machines
Ø Application of 3 Phase Induction Machines
Ø Equivalent Circuit of the Induction Motor
Ø Synchronous Generators
Ø Synchronous Motors
Ø Power Electronics
Ø Control of DC motors
Ø Control of AC motors
4 PE Credits will be provided to attendees
