Introduction to Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Battery Systems
C0626
- Content
This course provides an introduction to the concepts of hybrid vehicles, their missions and role of batteries to meet requirements. Battery topics including limitations, trends in hybrid development, customer wants and needs, battery system development timelines, comparison of electrochemistries and safety will be examined. Current offerings, cost factors, pack design considerations and testing will also be reviewed. Participants will perform a battery pack analysis exercise using a real world application.
- Content
- By attending this course, you will be able to:
- Capture customer wants and expectations of the battery system
- Identify factors that drive power and energy requirements
- Determine test program structure
- Compare and contrast the newest relevant battery technologies
- Calculate estimates of electric range and quantify the assumptions
- Critically assess media claims of new battery discoveries
- Content
- This course is primarily intended for vehicle systems engineers, battery system integration engineers, testing engineers, electrical engineers and thermal management engineers recently assigned to their roles or returning to hybrid or electric vehicle programs. It will also be beneficial to those involved in the specification, design, development, testing and planning of hybrid vehicle programs. Product planners and program managers will find the overview aspects helpful.
- Content
- Material presented will be practical in nature with basic mathematics used to describe quantitative measures. An undergraduate degree in electrical or electromechanical engineering will assist in gaining maximum benefit from the material presented. Experience or training in battery electrochemistry is helpful, but not essential.
