Hybrid Electric Vehicles
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
