Green Mobility Electric Vehicle Center of Excellence (CoE)
A Green Mobility Electric Vehicle Center of Excellence is an advanced state of art facility designed to provide practical knowledge and hands-on training in Electric Vehicle (EV) systems components and control technologies. The lab focuses on the design, operation, testing and performance analysis of electric mobility systems.
The CoE typically includes experimental setup for battery systems (Li-ion battery packs, battery management systems), electric traction motors (BLDC, PMSM, induction motors), motor drives, DC-DC converters, inverters, and charging systems (on-board and off-board chargers). It also has feature of interfacing with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling EV power trains and energy management systems.
Students can perform experiments related to motor control, regenerative braking, state-of-charge estimation, power electronics control, thermal management, and vehicle dynamics. The lab helps learners analyze efficiency, performance characteristics, and energy optimization techniques in EVs.
Overall, the Electric Vehicle Technology Center bridges theoretical concepts of power electronics, control systems, and electric machines with real-world applications in sustainable transportation and green energy systems.
