About the course

Objective of powertrain modeling is to analyse the powertrain for various drive cycles & vehicle target performances to decide, Traction Motor sizing (Motor nominal & peak torque and current, RPM, Operating Points at various loads & speeds, motor Power, motor efficiency & motor regeneration energy possibilities etc.) & Traction battery sizing (Pack & Cell nominal and peak current, Cell C-rating for selection, battery SOC wrt to different drive scenarios, energy consumption (Wh/Km) & Vehicle range estimation, number of cells in series & parallel & battery pack size etc.

Industry importance

Any EV startup, OEM or Tier 1/2 supplier has to build the powertrain models to perform the studies for component sizing & energy analysis to develop an engineered Electric vehicle. Course on EV powertrain modeling, will help you gain the knowledge, competency & confidence to develop such models required at industry. Course will also help you gain the analytical ability for decision making with simulation data.

Applied Projects

Course includes, 3 major projects & several minor projects. Projects during the course will help you gain real time experience, insights from failure, than just the information or knowledge. In this course, learners will build the detailed physics based powertrain model for NISSAN Leaf (4W consumer vehicle) under the guidance of mentor through the video led sessions. Learners will take up the mentored assignments to recreate & analyse the powertrain for Ather electric scooter (2W consumer vehicle) & Electric formula race car (4W special purpose vehicle). Various test cases such as, urban, rural, highway, grad-ability & acceleration are performed during simulation to gain the insights & approach for sizing. Projects will help you build the portfolio of projects that showcases your job readiness to potential employers.
