The aim of the course is the development of knowledge in the field of hybrid electric vehicles and vehicles purely powered by electricity. Knowledge includes a brief history of development in this area, its current state and directions for future development. The focus of the subject is on the main electrical systems within the vehicle: the drive (propulsion) and the power supply system of the vehicle, as well as the corresponding power electronics converters.

The participants of this course will be trained to understand the configuration and principles of operation of drive systems in hybrid electric vehicles and vehicles powered purely by electric motors and electric power sources. Students will understand the basic characteristics and role of essential parts and devices within the drive and the power supply systems. The laboratory exercises will enable understanding of electrical machines, power electronics converters, various types of measurement, necessary measuring equipment as well as their handling for the purpose of testing the work of certain subsystems within electric vehicles.

Basics of electrical machines, power electronics and electrical drives. Drive systems for hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles, analysis and design methods. The interaction of the internal combustion engine and the electric machine within hybrid electric vehicle drive system. Electrical energy storage units and power management. Fundamentals of regenerative braking. Application of fuel cells in electric vehicles. Drive control methods for hybrid electric and electric vehicles. Example overview of hybrid electric vehicle - Toyota Prius. Design example of pure electric vehicle. Simulation and practical testing in the laboratory. Directions for future development in the field.

Teaching takes place in the form of lectures, computational exercises and laboratory exercises. Course presents fundamentals of the most important types of drives in hybrid electric and electric vehicles, the set requirements, the theoretical basics of the operational principles of individual parts and their interactions. Lectures include the background history of the previously mentioned items as well as the directions for future development. Computational exercises involve solving tasks by which the student is more closely acquainted with the operational modes of the drive and the power supply systems, calculation of the important parameters of the essential subsystems and their interaction. Laboratory exercises are carried out in a laboratory with appropriate prototypes of electric vehicles drive sets, measuring and computer equipment. By working on the equipment, students get a direct insight into the way parts work within the whole system and valuable hands-on-experience.
