EE 237 - Motor Control and Electronic Drives for Electric Vehicles

3 unit(s)
Course introduces the modeling and control of motors and drive electronics commonly used in electric vehicles. It covers four motor types: DC motors, induction motors, permanent magnet (PM) motors, and interior permanent magnet synchronous reluctance (IPM-SynRM) motors. Students will explore state-space modeling and vector control methods, as well as essential drive electronics topics such as IGBT switching topologies, gate-drive circuits, regenerative braking, current regulation, and space vector modulation. Practical understanding is reinforced through computer simulations that validate motor models, control strategies, and drive electronics.
