Aim:
A course participant should after the course:
  • have knowledge about traditional and hybrid powertrain configurations.
  • be able to identify and enumerate different hybrid drive system configurations.
  • have knowledge about and experience from working with models for components in advanced drivelines
  • be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages with different hybrid configurations
  • be able to analyze complex powertrains from the perspective of energy efficient ground vehicle propulsion.
  • have knowledge about tools for energy optimization of complex powertrains.
  • have experience from using tools for energy optimization of complex powertrains
  • have knowledge and experience in the synthesis and model implementations of new concepts for komplex powertrains


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Mechanics, Automatic Control, Optimization, Matlab/Simulink

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is organized in lectures and computer exercises for completing hand in assignments.

Course contents:
This course treats the longitudinal behavior of road vehicles and gives a framework for analyzing and optimizing the energy consumption. Both traditional and new powertrain configurations (like hybrid and fuel cell vehicles) are treated. Realistic mathematical models are developed for the components and they are compiled to complete vehicle systems. These are then analyzed and used to develop optimized energy management strategies.
Several case studies are used to exemplify the methodology and show the principles and challenges associated with analyzing and optimizing complex powertrains.
