Fundamentals of Electric Vehicle Engineering

Electric Vehicle Engineering requires multidisciplinary expertise like electrical, mechanical, automobile, power electronics, electronics & communication and computer engineers.

This course is design on fundamental engineering aspects of electric vehicle system that must be known and understood by each team members irrespective of their branch. Main aim of this course is to explain basic requirements, goals and issues related to electric vehicle system design.

It starts with the history of automobile and electric vehicle system and end with each and every detail one need to know about electric vehicle system.

It covers basic calculations required to find various parameters of Electric Vehicle system like required average motor power, vehicle range and battery calculations.

It explains torque speed characteristic of vehicle in detail and also covers how to select an electric motor to match with torque speed characteristics of vehicle.

It includes driving cycles, vehicle parameters & dynamic equations, electric motors, drive train, energy source, different EV configurations, and more.

It also covers development of MATLAB simulation model and its analysis to understand effect of various parameters on vehicle.

It includes detail about all types of energy source like battery, fuel cell, ultracapacitor and flywheel.

This course explains role of engineers of various disciplines to achieve common goal in term of performance requirement of electric vehicle system. This course is suitable to engineering students of any branch who wish to work with electric vehicle industries in future. This course will be helpful to research scholars who want to start their research work in the field of electric vehicle engineering.
