Description
This is a hands-on course, explaining step-by-step, with real applications,
how to size/calculate the parameters of the high voltage battery and electric machine
, based on performance requirements.
Starting with
performance requirements
: top speed, 0-100 kph acceleration time and maximum range, we will calculate the parameters of the battery pack and electric machine required to achieve the performance attributes.
The
main components of the powertrain
(high voltage battery, electric machine, transmission and DCDC converter) are explained, describing their main parameters and operating mode.
A brief description of the electric vehicle
powertrain architectures
is provided, explaining the main components, how they operate, and which are the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
Based on the vehicle's longitudinal dynamics, a
drive cycle will be run in Scilab
, which will provide the average energy consumption of the vehicle.
The
parameters of the electric machine and high voltage battery will be calculated
to meet the performance requirements of the electric vehicle.
A
full electric vehicle dynamic model will be developed in Xcos
and run through various cycles: top speed, hill climb and homologation drive cycle, to assess the performance of the powertrain against requirements.
A
complete set of Scilab scripts will be developed
for components sizing, data processing and data visualization.
A full tutorial will be provided on how to use the
on-line (web based) simulation tool
for electric vehicle powertrain design
Who this course is for:
Students in automotive engineering who are trying to perfect their skills and knowledge
Engineers interested in electric vehicle technology and simulation
Engineers and technicians working in the electric vehicle conversion domain
Technical leaders which require good understanding of EV technology
Anyone interested to learn about electric vehicles
