Title:

Electric Powertrain: Energy Systems, Power Electronics and Drives for Hybrid, Electric and Fuel Cell Vehicles

Instructors:

John Hayes and Abas Goodarzi

Abstract:

In this introductory tutorial, the authors present a three-part seminar based on their 2018 book Electric Powertrain: Energy Systems, Power Electronics and Drives for Hybrid, Electric and Fuel Cell Vehicles, an industry reference and a structured holistic textbook for the teaching of the fundamental theories and applications. The first half of the tutorial is a lively overview of battery, fuel cell, and hybrid electric vehicles with their strong Detroit roots. The second part of the tutorial reviews the traction machines. The third part of the tutorial reviews the power electronics, and discusses the propulsion, charging, accessory, and auxiliary power converters.
