Energy Conversion Systems

Undergraduate

This course covers the fundamental principles of energy conservation processes. Design analysis, and construction of modern electromechanical systems, mechanical transmission systems, measurement of mechanical motion, and implementation of electromechanical coupling. DC and AC machinery fundamentals, electromechanical energy conversion, synchronous and induction motors, motion and controls of electromechanical systems will be discussed. Hands-on lab with modelling and simulation of 400 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar multi-domain electromechanical systems. The course also introduces the use of modern energy conversion systems which may include conventional combustion based and Rankine power systems, energy systems for space applications, Autonomous vehicle applications, solar, wind, wave, thermoelectric, and geothermal energy systems.
