Hybrid Electric Vehicles
ECE51018
Credit Hours:
3Start Date:
January 19, 2021Learning Objective:
The primary objective of the course is to introduce architectures and technologies associated with electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid vehicles including their constituent components. Specific topics include electric and hybrid electric drive trains, energy storage (batteries/ ultra capacitors), electromechanical energy conversion (induction and permanent magnet motors and generators), power electronics, vehicle-level modeling and control, and optimization.Description:
The course will be divided into three sections (modules), each with a project and exam. The topics covered in each module are:
I. Tractive power requirements, motivation for hybridization, and vehicle architectures
II. Electromechanical power conversion, power electronics, and control
III. Electrochemical power conversion (aka batteries), vehicular-level power electronics, and power management strategies
