Electric Vehicles and Mobility: Components and Systems

Catalog description

Focuses on understanding the functionality and design optimization of electric powertrain of electric vehicles (EVs). The major components inside an EV include electric motor, power inverter, drive circuit, battery, battery management system, sensors and encoders. Discusses component-level understanding and system-level design details of the foundational electrical elements of an EV. Students learn the use of MATLAB/Simulink to conduct system-level modeling and analysis. Incorporates design projects involving design and simulation of powertrain components subjected to specific design and performance requirements.
