TechnologyMajor (ENET), a concentration within Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) that focuses on electricalenergy and power systems. As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems.

power from a battery pack is converted to three phase AC power for driving an AC induction motor. IGBTs and their gate driver circuits, driven by DC/DC converters, perform the inverter function. Logic drive signals are supplied to the inverter in the form of a PWM-generated sine wave called Space Vector Modulation (SVM). The SVM software contains three PID control loops, controlling stator flux, stator torque, and rotor angular velocity. • 2010 Electric motorcycle A 48 VDC to 30 VAC, 7.5 kW inverter is designed to power a three phase
