Introduction to energy management

Presentation : Electrical engineering is a discipline that has evolved considerably in recent years, thanks in particular to the considerable growth of power electronics. The traditional distinction between Electrical Engineering (high current) and Electronics (low current) is now outdated. The control of machines by means of various power electronics assemblies (static converters: rectifiers, choppers, inverters, etc.) calls on linear and non-linear signal electronics. This module has been called "Introduction to Energy Management" rather than "Electrical Engineering", so that electronics students no longer see it as a marginal course with a "dusty" image, but as a course with many fields of application. In fact, this introductory course in power electronics and electromechanical conversion will put the many applications into perspective (control of electrical machines in robotics, electric vehicles, etc.) and energy management (production, transport, etc.). Objectives: The aim of this course is to present the generators and receivers of electrical energy, to explain their characteristics, mainly external, and to establish models (equivalent electrical diagrams) to account for them. Knowledge of these models, their parameters (conditions of validity, limits, etc.) and the methods used to determine them (tests, identification, etc.) is essential for electronic engineers who have to implement power components in a system. Second and third year courses in power electronics on the one hand, and automatic control on the other, will draw in part on the knowledge acquired from this course. In addition to the tutorials, a 3-hour simulation session using PSIM software will help to illustrate certain aspects of the course. This session will also introduce students to the use of PSIM, which will be used in the second and third years in certain specialties.
