TRENDS IN ELECTRIFICATION SEMINAR

EPD 620

Micro, mild, full, and plug-in electrical powertrain systems, their components and the interactions between them, with special attention paid to generators, motors, and inverters. Learn about key metrics for sizing and matching components based on performance.

EPD 646

Electric drives operation used both in motoring and generating modes necessary in traction applications. The fundamental drives of brush DC, PM synchronous, reluctance, and induction machines are explored. Begins with the basics of drives and extends to the device physics of power electronics used in drives.

EPD 631

Development of hybrid and electric vehicle powertrain and sub-system mathematical models. Simulations of drive cycles for evaluating component, sub-system, or package performance in the vehicle for fuel economy and emissions.

EPD 621

Concepts of vehicle hybridization levels; battery accessories, components, and materials; battery life and management; as well as various failure modes of batteries. Development of equivalent circuit models (ECM) for cells that can be used for real time control and diagnostics.

EPD 628

Scientifically-based look at trends in energy availability, emission control and regulation, and technological advances to make an assessment of the future of engines and powertrain systems for vehicles throughout the world. Emphasis on trends for sustainable mobility solutions.
