Introduction to Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Course outline, in order

The course moves from the history and dynamics of electric vehicles to architecture, power electronics and the machines that drive them. Energy storage, control and regenerative braking come next, and the series ends with the design of hybrid vehicles.

1. History and dynamics of electric and hybrid vehicles
2. DC-DC and DC-AC converters
3. AC machines and permanent magnet machines
4. Energy storage, control systems and regenerative braking
5. Design of hybrid electric vehicles

Useful for engineers who want one course spanning vehicle architecture and the electrical systems within it.
