Energy Storage and Electric Vehicle Technology-Slides

Abstract: The key components of an Electric Vehicle are the battery and the motor drive. Energy storages such as batteries and super capacitors are now the major units. Energy cell packaging is now a new direction. The use of energy cells to integrate with the vehicle body has been reported and suggests good potential for energy management. The energy management and balance is now a necessary component to manage the energy cells. Besides the energy storage and the traction motor and drives, there are numerous motors and actuators used in modern electric vehicles. One of them is an active suspension system to replace the conventional hydraulic system. The in wheel motor is based on integrating the motor and wheel into a single unit that increase the power density and presents a real 4 wheel drive. The skid steering can, therefore, be realized. Also, the antilock braking (ABS) is an all electric braking system, and replaces the conventional hydraulic system in ABS.

In this webinar, I will give an extensive overview of the latest electric vehicle technology that could be used in the present and the future. The talk covers the major advanced components of an electric vehicle and the technology and research related to the development. Finally, I will conclude the webinar with an outlook on future vehicles. The webinar is suitable for researchers or engineers with a deep knowledge of electric vehicles and is also suitable for someone who is new to the field.
