ETT 4150 - Fundamentals of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Program Description:
Wayne State University offers a Bachelor of Science in Electric Transportation Technology, which prepares students for application-oriented engineering technology careers in the electric transportation industry. Areas of study include Automotive Electric and Electronic Systems, In-Vehicle Networking and Embedded Systems, Mechatronics in Vehicle Control Systems, and more. 

Course Description:
This three-credit Fundamentals of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles was developed with seed funding from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology (CAAT), and discusses hybrid electric and electric vehicle (HEV/EV) technologies. The course focuses on concepts and design, energy analysis, unified model approach, hybridization, hybrid powertrain architectures, internal combustion engines for HEVs, transmissions used in HEVs, and on-board energy storage.

Course Contents:
This course is composed of 15 presentations. These presentation include 1) Introduction of Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV/PHEV), 2) Overview of Vehicle Road Load, 3) Hybrid Powertrain Configurations, 4) Vehicle Electrification, 5) Hybrid Powertrain Components, 6) Overview of Electrically Variable Transmissions (EVT), 7) Electric Machines, 8) Power Electronics Pt. 1, 9) Power Electronics Pt. 2, 10) On-Board Energy Storage, 11) Battery Cell Management, State Estimation, Cell Balancing, and Charging Schemes, 12) Battery Management Systems (BMS), 13) Fundamentals of Regenerative Braking, 14) Modeling and Simulation Software for Vehicle System and Driveline Analysis, and 15) HEV/PHEV/EV Future Trends.
