Special Topics: Energy Conversion and Management in Electric Vehicles
Lakshmi Varaha iyer
This course will cover various energy conversion modes such as AC/DC, DC/DC, AC/AC, Electro-Mechanical, Electro-Thermal, etc. that take place in an electrical vehicle. This course will focus more on state-of-the-art electrical vehicle power electronics, energy storage technologies and their controls. It will also focus on operation, modelling and design of power electronic converters, control methods for e-drives, energy management strategies including battery packs, sensors, passive components, etc. It will explain challenges towards efficiency and reliability improvement of such systems, practical solutions and sample hardware implementations in electric vehicles. The knowledge can also be applied to various industrial applications where such energy conversion takes place.
