Electric Circuit Analysis (Resistive-only DC, Transient, Steady State AC and Three-phase analyses).
The course gives the essential elements for understanding of analysis and exploitation of the electromagnetic phenomena. In the first part of the course the instruments for static and quasi-static analysis by circuit methods are introduced. In the second part of the course the principal application aspects of exploitation of power electromagnetic phenomena are introduced: electrical motors, power electronics and power electrical systems.
The aim of this course is to enable Students to the basic knowledge necessary to study and solve simple Circuital Models, with particular attention to power aspects.
The basic methods for Linear, Time Independent and Lumped Parameter Circuit Analysis will be adressed, and the techniques for their application to the problems will be proposed. The analysis will be made within time-domain (Resistive-Only DC, Transient Analysis), and within frequency domain (Steady State AC).
At the end of the course, Student shall have correctly understood the basic concepts of Electric Circuit Analysis, shall be able to correctly classify the different types of Circuit problems, and to correctly formulate the solution, arriving, when and where possible, to determine their analytical solution.
The course does not require particular prerequisites. In the same time, Students should know the basis of algebric computation with real and complex numbers and the meaning of linear differential equation of firsrt and second order with constant coefficients.
Due to "nCOVID-19" healthy emergency, all the lectures will be provided in remote way via Microsoft TEAMS platform. Obviously, if restrictions will be changed and/ore removed theory lectures and related exercises will be provided in the first semester in frontal mode.

Office hours: Students wishing further clarifications are received on appointment (e-mail: massimo.brignone@unige.it), both using remote meetings (via Microsotf Teams) as well as frontal meeting. Obviously the second option is strectly dependent on the "nCOVID-19" emergency.

According to the official teaching calendar
All class schedules are posted on the EasyAcademy portal.
Written (or through partial written tests during the year, to be decided during the lessions), and oral.
Warning: depending on the health emergency "nCOVID-19", the examination structure reported below may be subject to significant variations.
The examination of ELECTROTECNICS is based on a set of four partial written tests that the Student must solve (unless there are serious issues to be evaluated case-by-case), and one oral discussion, lasting about 30 minutes, after the end of the course. In case the Student was absent to one or more partial tests without valid reasons, or the result was not sufficient, the examination will be based on a written test comprising the complete program of the module. The marking will be organized as follows: max. 14 points for the written examination (both for the set of partial tests, and for the complete written examination), max. 17 points for the oral examination. To be admitted to the oral examination, the marking of written test (partial or complete) must be at least 8/14. The final point is the sum of the marks of written and oral examinations.
