Hybrid and Electric Propulsion Systems

Module code: EG4212

As the world shifts towards more sustainable modes of transportation with particular interests on electrifications, understanding hybrid and electric propulsion systems is key to driving this transformation. This module offers an in-depth exploration of electric propulsion systems, covering their fundamental principles, components, and applications in hybrid and electric vehicles and aircrafts. You will learn to design and optimise these systems using mathematical models and simulation tools like MATLAB Simulink and PLECS. The module also delves into the operation and control of advanced converters, and the integration of power converters, motors, and energy storage elements. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on workshops, and projects, you will develop the skills to analyse, design, and implement efficient propulsion systems, preparing you for a career in the forefront of sustainable engineering.
