I.D.# C1028Printable Description
Duration: 2 Days

Electric motor drives have emerged as one of the differentiating technologies in electric vehicles (EV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). As a result, it is critical for engineers and technical decision-makers to understand the various energy-efficient motor drive technologies and how to apply them.

This seminar begins by defining energy-efficient motors and EV/HEV/PHEV motors. Following an in-depth study of induction motor drives, permanent magnet (PM) brushless motor drives, and switched reluctance (SR) motor drives, attendees will understand the core motor drive technology for EVs, HEVs and PHEVs. The course concludes with information on in-wheel motors, emerging motor technologies, and electric variable transmission (EVT) motor systems.

This seminar is held immediately following the two-day seminar, C1029, Power Electronics for EV, HEV and PHEV Applications, which individuals involved in power electronics and motors will find equally beneficial. Those interested in taking both two-day seminars should register for C1045, Energy Efficient Motor Drives and Power Electronics for EV, HEV, and PHEV Applications

Learning Objectives
By attending this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify energy-efficient motors
  • Identify EV/HEV/PHEV motors
  • Explain the differences between induction, brushless, and SR motor drives for EVs/HEVs/PHEVs
  • Explain the differences between various in-wheel motors
  • Indentify a sound methodology for sizing EV/HEV/PHEV motors
  • Describe how to approach finite element and thermal analyses of motors
  • Describe EVT motor systems and various emerging motor technologies

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for those who work in engineering, marketing, or manufacturing of powertrain systems or other electrical and mechanical aspects of EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs. In addition, this course can be valuable to those involved in transportation systems that utilize electric motors. Individuals new to the field of electric motors and drives will benefit most from the material. This course is not intended for individuals with significant experience with motors or drives.

Prerequisites

An undergraduate degree in engineering or a strong technical background is highly recommended. Attendees should have taken an undergraduate or graduate course in basic electric circuits and/or basic electric machines.
