Powertrain Performance Feel Ford Online Course
I.D.#PD111017ON (Online delivery)

Principles of Electric Drives
Webinar
8 Hours
I.D.# WB0941
Electric drives are found in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen
fuel cell vehicles, as well as battery electric vehicles. More than two
million hybrid vehicles worldwide utilize electric drive components,
and battery technology has matured enough to enable major
manufacturers to develop light-duty and commercial electric vehicles
for mass production and sale beginning in 2010-2012. It is also
likely that many conventional vehicles will incorporate some form
of idle-stop or stop-start system comprised of a low-output electric
drive, as an integral part of efforts to meet U.S. CAFE fuel economy
standards and EU CO2 emission requirements. Industry professionals
who are looking for a general understanding of the structure and
components of vehicular electric drives will benefit from this course,
which will cover theory, design, operation, and diagnostics of all
major components used in electric drives (battery packs, inverters,
motor-generators, DC-DC converters, and charging apparatus) as
applied to all forms of vehicles, including charge-sustaining hybrids,
plug-in hybrids, fuel cell hybrids, and battery electric vehicles. Battery
chemistry, charging systems, power conversion, switching techniques,
and traction motor construction will be discussed in detail.

Who Should Attend

In addition to NVH, Driveability, and Shift Quality, Performance
Feel is among the four Powertrain attributes that directly influence
customer satisfaction. It is defined in terms of the availability of power
to the end customer and is the customer perception of performance
that includes the effects of vehicle acceleration, accelerator control
characteristics, shift character, and sound quality.
This 3.5-hour Ford Online Course is intended to increase the
awareness of vehicle Performance Feel issues, target setting process,
and the interactions and controls that affect Performance Feel.

Powertrain engineers, electrical engineers, project planners, project
managers, technical writers, safety officers, component specialists,
component suppliers, and anyone else who is professionally impacted
by the development of electric vehicle technology will be able to
use this information to help them transition to working with electric
drives. Participants should have a basic knowledge of electric circuits.
This is an introductory webinar; a mechanical or electrical engineering
degree is helpful but not necessary.
