Learning overview & student feedback


About Internship / Course

EV Powertrain Simulation Internship/course provides you the project-based learning opportunity to build & analyze the behavior of vehicle powertrains during the week 1, 2 & 3 such as Ather 450 & Nissan leaf wrt drive cycle such as WLTP, FTP 75 & NEDC. And you will also work on a creative project to analyze the Formula Electric Racecar powertrain behavior with Race track data. From the model created, you will be able to predict

  1. Motor torque 
  2. Motor RPM 
  3. Motor power & current
  4. Battery Power 
  5. Battery current, C-rating, Cells In series/parallel
  6. Pack volume & Pack mass
  7. Component sizing such as Conductor, Contactors, Pre-charge parts & Fuse






During weeks 4, 5 & 6 You will further be taught on Li-ion Cell chemistry, modeling of Li-ion cells, Battery management system, modeling of Battery management system. From the model created, you will be able to predict & perform studies such as 

  1. Open Circuit & Terminal Voltage wrt to Cell temperature 
  2. Open Circuit & Terminal Voltage wrt to Cell discharge rate 
  3. SOC estimation
  4. Over & Under voltage protection algorithms
  5. Overcurrent protection algorithms 
  6. Over & Under temperature protection algorithms
  7. Cell behavior state estimations wrt to drive cycle current data




You will be assigned to take up various projects and innovations challenges to ensure your learning goes beyond the classroom.  All the models, simulations, and the project will be done individually. 


All the lessons, such as theory & modeling with simulations tools (Scilab & MATLAB) will be taught from the fundamentals to ensure all the learners are in the same phase. The learner would require to dedicate about 10 hours for live classes every day & 10 hours for assignment & project practice per week. Topics are taught from application viewpoint to electric vehicles and it’s appreciated to have the good basics in physics, mathematics, basic electricals & electronics.
