Goal(s)

Our electrified companies are based on an electrical grid with good technical and economic performance. New challenges related to resource limitations, planetary boundaries, etc., mean that the current system is not sustainable. Several types of more or less technical solutions are imagined, including the development of renewable production, electric vehicles, flexibility (direct/indirect), sufficiency, etc... Tomorrow’s electrical engineers will have to integrate these new issues into the way they design, size and imagine the electrical system and its components. First, it is therefore necessary to understand how electrical systems have been designed and how the different components operate and interact.

The objective of the electrical engineering module is to acquire the fundamentals of traditional electrical grids (energy, power, three-phase, alternative current) as well as to study one of their major components, the synchronous machine, whether as a generator of electrical energy (80% of electrical production machines in France) than motor. For this, the physical principle of electromechanical conversion and its simple modeling in steady state will be studied. Tutorials and practical work will help illustrate and integrate the concepts seen in class.
