Course content
1. Necessary power of vehicles for driving at a constant speed and for acceleration. Voltage level and corresponding currents, conductor cross-sections, losses and losses. Necessary energy and range of the vehicle on the battery. 2. Traction power systems. Cooperation with the electricity system. 3. Powering public transport vehicles. Other DC-powered traction vehicles (battery/trolley and their combinations). 4. Supplying vehicles with AC voltage. Vehicle charging and wireless energy transfer to the vehicle (at the charging station/while driving). 5. Interaction with the energy supply system. Power converters limiting negative effects on the surrounding infrastructure. 6. Converters for wireless WPT energy transfer to the vehicle, coupling elements, inductive coupling. 7. Battery charging, battery management system BMS. 8. Mutual influences of the traction system and the vehicle with regard to the current situation in practice (possibility of energy backflow, losses, etc.). 9. Devices in vehicles and in power and charging systems for better use of electricity. energy. 10. Energy reverse flow facility, ESS energy storage facility, etc. 11. Uses of non-conventional energy sources (photovoltaics, etc.) 12. Powering other devices (auxiliary drives, propulsion drives). 13. Independent and semi-independent traction vehicles, hybrid vehicles, use of fuel cells.
