Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Course teachers: Prof. dr. sc. Joško Deur, Prof. dr. sc. Joško Petrić

Course objectives: The course deals with modelling and analysis techniques and energy management control principles for electric and hybrid vehicles. The course objective is to make students familiar with different electric and hybrid vehicle configurations, kinematic and dynamic powertrain models, power flow analysis techniques, control variable optimisation tools, control system design methods, and computer simulation verification tools. The consideration will be extended to e-mobility systems including smart charging techniques and vehicle-grid integration aspects.

Expected learning outcomes:

• To understand various concepts and configurations of electric and hybrid vehicles
• To develop mathematical and simulation models of hybrid vehicle powertrains
• To conduct power flow analyses for complex hybrid powertrains
• To acquire knowledge on hybrid powertrain control variable optimisation
• To design energy management strategies
• To use and adapt computer simulation tools for advanced vehicle powertrains
• To understand e-mobility systems including electric vehicle-grid integration aspects
