ME 50105 - Hybrid And Electric Transportation

Credit Hours: 3.00. This course will cover fundamentals of hybrid electric and battery electric transportation systems with particular emphasis on automotive vehicles. It will cover powertrain configurations of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). The principal element of the powertrain of these vehicles will be discussed: Battery, Electric Motor, Engine, Transmission. This course will cover design concepts for HEV / PHEV and BEV powertrain. Optimal methods of component sizing via appropriate modeling and analysis methodologies will also be introduced. An introduction to power electronic components and microprocessor based controllers for these powertrains will also be given. An in-depth coverage, including optimal energy management, will be given on the energy and power management of HEV / PHEV and BEV powertrain once the design is complete. Introduction of various concepts and terminologies, the state of the art development, energy conversion and storage options, modeling, analysis, system integration and basic principles of vehicle controls will be covered as well. Upon completion of this course, students should be able to follow the literature on these subjects and perform modeling, design, analysis and development work in this field. A field demonstration of a PHEV will be used to further enhance the learning experience in this course. Permission of department reqjuired. Prerequisite: ME 48200/ECE 38200.
