Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
90 class hours (= 67.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 210 hours (equivalent to 7 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 142.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.

Learning outcomes:
12 lecture units of 6 hours each:
After successfully completing this module, students will have acquired basic knowledge about unconventional electric and hybrid vehicle drives, including overall vehicle concepts and their classification into the most important vehicle subcomponents. They will be able to:
- classify electric and hybrid vehicles and their components with regard to their construction, functions, performance characteristics, as well as assess and evaluate their specific parameters.
- dimension sub-components required for new vehicle concepts and integrate them into new overall systems.
 
3 lecture units of 6 hours each:
- the functionality of different battery technologies,
- methods for the characterization and parameterization of energy storage systems,
- physical and (electro)chemical transport processes and interaction mechanisms in battery storage,
- strategies and techniques of (macroscopic) battery storage modeling
- functionality of BMS
- battery emulation and HiL method
- Depending on interests: basic mathematical methods for solving differential equations (finite differences and LU decomposition)
