Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Systems

Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Systems details the characteristics of all electric and hybrid electric vehicular propulsions, including vehicle dynamics, energy storage systems, drive trains components, electric motor drives, power electronics, and internal combustion engine aspects. After an introduction of hybrid electric vehicular energy management systems, the book explains more complex concepts involved in electrical engineering and power electric machinery. Examples of electric, hybrid electric, fuel cell, and plug–in hybrid electric vehicle configurations developed in Matlab/Simulink environments qualify this resource as a dependable reference for scientists, researchers, engineers, and students. CD–ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of the e–book file, but are available for download after purchase.
