Electric Driveline

This course is an introduction to the electrical system in the vehicle’s structure, components and function. It is also intended to provide you with knowledge about electrical and electronic equipment that incorporates a hybrid or electric vehicle.

The purpose of this course is to give you thorough knowledge about the electrical safety instructions and guidelines which apply when working on and in electric vehicles, as well as full knowledge about the guidelines developed by the MSB.

The purpose of this course is to give the student the basic knowledge within electricity. First they will be presentations and calculations of DC- and AC-circuits together with the quantity’s energy and power and then the students will be introduced to 1 phase, 3 phase, jɷ-method, active and reactive power and magnetic circuits.

The purpose of this course is to give you knowledge of the electric machine-topologies: synchronous machines, permanent magnet, asynchronous machines. The area of focus will, for example, be electromagnetics, calculations of parameters of the machines in steady state, arrangements of the winding, diagrams and the impact of the number of poles.

The purpose of this course is that you should acquire knowledge of the power electronics that controls the electric drive system. You should have knowledge of power electronics components, functions, topologies, control types and how to dimension power converters. Understanding of power converter operation is necessary for you to analyze how power electronics impact other electrical equipment.

The purpose of this course is that you are to gain knowledge in the industry of all types of electrical storage systems: batteries, fuel cells, ultracapacitors and flywheels, its design, power and performance. In this course, the technical characteristics and principle of operation of existing batteries in the market, especially those of Li-ion, and those that are in development, as well as ultracapacitors, will be analysed for you.
