Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Engineering Academy
SAE Engineering Academies provide comprehensive and immersive training experiences, helping new and re-assigned engineers become proficient and productive in a short period of time. The Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Engineering Academy covers hybrid and electric vehicle engineering concepts, theory, and applications relevant to HEV, PHEV, EREV, and BEV for the passenger car industry. While the theory and concepts readily apply to the commercial vehicle industry as well, the examples and applications used will apply primarily to the passenger car industry.
What Will You Learn
Upon completion of the academy, participants will be able to:
- Define and analyze fundamental electrochemistry of battery operation and performance requirements for HEV, PHEV, EREV and full electric vehicle applications
- Estimate the size of a cell to meet a specific requirement
- Create a cradle-to-grave, or cradle-to-use list of materials used in any type of automotive battery
- Compute the temperature response of battery cell and pack assemblies for a simple model
- Describe the functions performed by a Battery Management System (BMS)
- Explain different approaches to estimating the state of charge, and the state of health, power and energy
- Apply the operation of brushless dc and induction motors to HEV and EV vehicles
- Define the torque speed curves for motors and the application to electric and hybrid electric vehicles
- Describe the features of buck, boost, and Transformer converters
- Compare and contrast the various industry and regulatory standards for hybrid vehicle components, batteries, and charging systems
- Describe the main hybrid and electric vehicle development considerations and performance requirements for various vehicle system
- Identify how to define key vehicle system requirements and select and size system components that best meet those requirements
