EEL 4312 - Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: EEL 3112C - Circuits 2, or EML 3811 - Mechatronic Systems
Course Description: This course introduces general aspects of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), including architecture, sub-system design, sizing, modeling, and energy management strategies. Also. it covers vehicle dynamics along with energy storage types, and power electronics utilized in HEVs. The design and operation of HEVs will be demonstrated using simulation software (e.g. MATLAB/Simulink). Moreover, the environmental and economic impacts and current limitations of mass deploying of EVs will be discussed extensively.
Primary Term(s) Offered: Spring
