The course aims at providing to the students the fundamental concepts of: - batteries use in EVs (Electric Vehicles) from the point of the view of the stored energy user - interactions between batteries and chargers - electric energy conversion system for EVs

Capability to understand the structure of a traction electrical drive consisting of battery, power electronic converters and electrical machines. Ability to provide the right specifications for the components of an electrical powertrain, according to the vehicle specifications.

Fundamentals in electrical circuits, electrical machines, automatic control or the basic concepts in systems theory.

Commercial EV examples (structures and data). Batteries for EV trains, ships, RES, power system. Battery pack integration and user side parameters. Equivalent-Circuit models for batteries (behavioural black box model, lumped parameters model, continuum cell model). Electrical components and systems and wiring for electric powered mobility. Power electronics converters (power electronics devices, structures and topologies). Electric power train for EV applications. Battery chargers. Battery test. Safety rules and standards for cells and battery packs.

In addition to classroom lectures presenting theoretical concepts, exercise activities, concerning numerical simulation of dynamic systems related the topic of the course, are planned
