AB  - As the underlying technology of many vital industries such as electric vehicle and wind turbine, electro-mechanical energy conversion is an important topic of the undergraduate engineering programs. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the development of an integrated electro-mechanical energy conversion system. The system is capable of demonstrating more than 50 realistic motor and generator configurations. In each mode, the system can be further reconfigured to various motor and generator architectures, such as series DC motors, shunt DC motors, compound DC motors, AC motors, single-phase generators, and three-phase generators. The electro-mechanical energy conversion system is comprised of four major components: (i) a reconfigurable machine, (ii) an actuator with built-in sensors, (iii) a programmable controller, and (iv) a data collector.  These four components are coordinated by a personal computer, such that the system performance can be controlled and visualized in real time. It allows students to assemble a motor/generator from parts, optimize its configuration, and control/measure its performance in real time.  The electro-mechanical system is used primarily to support the undergraduate curricula of three departments at the University, including Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Mechanical Engineering Department, and Computer Science Department.  This project is highly inter-disciplinary.  It involves four faculty members. Expertise of the four investigators is complementary to each other and covers all the aspects of this project.  The four investigators collaborates to build and test the proposed system, and also integrate it in undergraduate curricula.  This project therefore established an excellent platform for collaborative efforts among faculties and students from three departments, and it inspires numerous innovative ideas across disciplinary boundaries. At present, the Power Laboratory of the University has a number of instruments manufactured by LabVolt to demonstrate fundamental concepts of electro-mechanical energy conversion.  However, none of the existing instruments has the capability of allowing students to assemble a motor/generator from parts, optimize the motor/generator configuration, and visualize its performance.  Compared with the existing instruments, the proposed electro-mechanical system is greatly versatile and flexible.  It enables students to have hands-on experience with various types of electro-mechanical system and control/measure their performance in real time.  Thus, access to the proposed system is anticipated to enhance the students’ learning effectiveness tremendously. Currently, the integrated electro-mechanical energy conversion system has been constructed in September 2016 and is currently under various tests.
