C2207: Introduction to Battery Technology in BEVs, HEVs, and PHEVs

Abstract

Content: This course explores the design and performance of battery technologies used in today’s battery-electric vehicles. It focuses on the skills required to define a battery pack design, how battery packs are manufactured, and tests required before entering the market. Participants will leave the course equipped with tools to understand vehicle battery specifications and be able to extract the useful information from the large volume of electric vehicle content published daily.
It also defines and analyzes fundamentals of battery operation and performance requirements for HEV, PHEV, EREV and full electric vehicle applications.

Learning Objectives

Content

By successfully completing this course, you’ll be able to:

Summarize the fundamental electrochemistry of battery operation and performance requirements for HEV, PHEV, EREV and full electric vehicle applications
Create list of materials used in common automotive battery applications
Explain the functions of components within thermal cooling systems, including their impact on battery
Describe the function of the Battery Management System including its relationship with the vehicle battery
Identify the functions performed by a Battery Management System
Indicate components of the structural design of a battery pack
Define High Voltage Interlock (HVIL)
Describe how components within a battery contribute to battery safety

Who Should Attend

Content: Individuals who already have a basic understanding of hybrid and/or electric vehicles who are seeking to increase their knowledge and understanding of hybrid vehicle system applications, including mechanical and electrical application engineers, design engineers, project managers, and other individuals who are working with or transitioning to hybrid-electric powertrain development, will find this seminar particularly helpful.

Prerequisites

Content: An engineering degree is highly recommended, but not required. This course does not cover basic electrical concepts and assumes that the participant already understands such concepts (voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, etc.).
