Abstract
The first unit lays the groundwork by discussing conventional vehicle performance, the history of electric mobility, and the social and environmental impacts of transitioning to electric drive systems. It also explores how modern drivetrain technologies influence global energy demands.
Unit II delves into the classification and operational principles of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), from micro and mild hybrids to advanced plug-in hybrids and fuel cell electric vehicles. It discusses power flow architectures, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home technologies, and emerging solutions like solar-powered vehicles and electric bicycles.
The third unit provides a deep dive into the electric propulsion systems that power these vehicles. Readers will gain insights into the configurations and control strategies of various electric motor drives, including DC, induction, permanent magnet, and switched reluctance motors, with a focus on drive system efficiency and performance optimization.
This book serves as an essential guide for students of Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, and Automotive Engineering, as well as professionals seeking a structured understanding of the technologies shaping the future of green mobility.
Description
The contents of the book are organized into five core units:
Unit I introduces the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics, historical context, and the environmental significance of electric vehicles.
Unit II explores various types of hybrid vehicles and their architectures, with insights into plug-in hybrids, fuel cell vehicles, and vehicle-to-grid technologies.
Unit III focuses on the electric propulsion unit, motor drives, and their configurations, providing foundational knowledge in electric drive train technology.
The material is presented in a clear, systematic manner, integrating theoretical concepts with practical applications, diagrams, and real-world case studies. The goal is to empower learners to not only understand the technological underpinnings but also to innovate and contribute to the evolving landscape of green mobility.
We hope this book inspires a deeper interest in sustainable transportation and serves as a valuable learning tool in both academic and professional settings.
