The main goal of the course is for the student to acquire basic theoretical knowledge about the IC engine, electric drive and different types of hybrid propulsion systems and master the basics of numerical simulation and analysis of conventional, electric and hybrid propulsion systems. Through practical examples, the student becomes familiar with the possibilities and perspectives of the application of certain types of powertrain systems and acquires basic knowledge about renewable and non-renewable energy sources and the ecological aspects of their application.
General abilities: Understanding of the basic principles of application of IC engines, electric and hybrid propulsion systems. Subject-professional skills: The student is trained to carry out basic simulations and analyses of energy losses in the powertrain system, calculations for determining the characteristics of the vehicle propulsion system and basic calculations to assess potential energy savings in hybrid propulsion and/or regenerative braking systems.
