Many sustainable energy technologies are possible today due to the advancements in power electronics. Power electronics topologies make energy conversion and consumption cost effective today. Power electronics topologies also help efficient transfer of electrical energy stored in a battery to the wheels of an electric vehicle. The purpose of this module is to show students how to develop an energy efficient motor drive using commercially available components while considering design criteria for maximum energy efficiency. The lecture topics include the following:
- Components of an electric drive
- Design consideration
- Component selection
- Efficiency measurement
- Circuit construction
- Testing
- Applying a drive to a real world: three-wheeler experiment
