More about the programme
This program is aimed to offer upskill or reskill opportunity to those who have experience in engineering or similar background. Basic understanding from electricity is preferred. The first 2 courses start in May and the rest continuous after a summer break. As a participant you will be able to join the lecture in real time or watch the recorded lectures afterwards. There will be skilled teachers with both academic and practical experience. After successfully completed the programme you will receive a certificate and diploma.
Course description
Introduction to Hybrid and electric vehicle systems and components 2 weeks
This course is an introduction to the electrical system in the vehicle’s structure, components and function. It also intended to provide students with knowledge about electrical and electronic equipment that incorporates a hybrid or electric vehicle.
Law, standards and guidelines 3 weeks
The purpose of this course is to give students thorough knowledge about the electrical safety instructions and guidelines which apply working on and in electric vehicles and fully knowledge about the guidelines developed by the MSB.
Basics of Electrical Engineering 3 weeks
The purpose of this course is to give the student the basic knowledge within electricity. First they will be presentations and calculations of DC- and AC-circuits together with the quantity’s energy and power and then the students will be introduced to 1 phase, 3 phase, jɷ-method, active and reactive power and magnetic circuits.
Electrical Machines 3 weeks The purpose of this course is to give the student knowledge of the electric machine-topologies: Synchronous machines, Permanent magnet, Asynchronous machines. Area of focus will, for example, be Electromagnetic, calculations of parameters of the machines in steady state, arrangements of the winding, diagrams and the impact of number of poles.
Power Electronics 3 weeks
The purpose of this course is that the students should acquire knowledge of the power electronics that controls the electric drive system The students should have knowledge of power electronics components, functions, topologies, control types and how to dimension power converter. Understanding of power converter operation is necessary for analysis how power electronics impact other electrical equipment.
Energy storage systems 2 weeks
