Description and contextualization of the subject

This is an elective course that is taught in the second semester of the Master's program.



This subject applies knowledge of Electrical Machines (DC motors and AC motors), Automatic Regulation and Control (modeling and control systems), modeling and vector control, so it is necessary to have basic knowledge of these subjects for its proper development. The work developed in this subject provides the necessary knowledge for the students to understand the architecture and systems of an electric vehicle, and to design the control of its electric traction in an experimental way.

Learning outcomes of the subject

The student:

1) Knows the architecture and systems of an electric vehicle.

2) Designs models of vehicle systems and their control.

3) Knows and uses the equipment for laboratory testing.

4) Knows and uses simulation and experimental programming tools.

5) Works in project development teams.



All learning outcomes are observable and controllable, both in written form by solving exercises on paper and by solving exercises on computer using MatLab/Simulink, Code Composer Studio, MicroAutoBox, Kvaser, CANalyzer, etc. calculation/simulation/experimentation software.

Ordinary call: orientations and renunciation

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM

The evaluation is of ongoing type. It is why it is compulsory to be present in class.

The subject is assessed from 3 different activities, according to this weighting:



- 2/10 for tests, in order to ensure that the students have acquired the needed knowledge.

- 3/10 for the work carried out in the course, in order to ensure that the students have acquired the needed knowledge and skills.

- 5/10 for the assignment/report, in order to ensure that the students have acquired the needed skills.



More information related to the assessment is given through the eGela platform.

In relation to the Extraordinary call, to release one evaluation activity, the student must have a grade higher than 5/10 in this activity. The validated activities will only be saved in the same academic year.



FINAL EVALUATION SYSTEM



According to article 8 of the Regulations, regulating the assessment of students in the official degrees, the students shall have the right to be evaluated by means of the FINAL EVALUATION SYSTEM, independently of the fact that has or has not participated in the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM. In order to do so, students must present the following information written to the teacher in charge of the subject the renunciation of the CONTINUOUS EVALUATION within a period of 9 weeks from the beginning of the term. In this case, the student will be assessed with a single final exam. This final exam will consist on an oral exam related to the skills that the students have to acquire in the subject.



RENUNCIATION



According to article 12 of the Regulations, regulating the assessment of students in the official degrees, in the case of CONTINUOUS EVALUATION, the student may renounce the call for proposals within a period which, as a minimum, will be up to one month before the end of the teaching period of the corresponding subject. This waiver must be submitted in writing to the teacher responsible for the subject. In the case of FINAL EVALUATION, a no presentation to the official examination will result in the automatic waiver of the corresponding call. Renunciation of the call will result in the qualification of not presented.

Extraordinary call: orientations and renunciation

The criteria and weighting of this call will be the same as that of the ordinary call.



RENUNCIATION



A no presentation to the official examination will result in the automatic waiver of the corresponding call. Renunciation of the call will result in the qualification of not presented.
