Objectives
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE OF HYBRID VEHICLES IS TO PROVIDE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR MOST INNOVATIVE POWERTRAINS AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS. THE COURSE, HELD IN THE SECOND SEMESTER OF THE SECOND YEAR OF THE MASTER’S DEGREE COURSE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, IS OF 6 CREDITS (ECTS).

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDINGS:
- KNOWLEDGE OF HYBRID PROPULSION VEHICLES, FOCUSING ON AUTOMOTIVE POWERTRAINS.
- KNOWLEDGE OF THE DESIGN METHODOLOGIES FOR THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS AND THEIR RELATED CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES.
- KNOWLEDGE OF CONTROL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT ISSUES OF HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS.




THE MAIN SKILLS (I.E. THE ABILITY TO APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE) WILL BE:
- ACQUISITION OF ANALYSIS METHODS FOR HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS SELECTION AND SIZING.
- QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION CAPACITY OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY ACTIVITIES.
- ABILITY TO DEVELOP ENERGY CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT
THE STUDENT IS CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING THE MOST SUITABLE APPROACH TO ANALYZE HYBRID VEHICLES POWERTRAINS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
BEING CONFIDENT WITH TEAMWORK AND HAVING THE CAPABILITY OF PRESENTING AND DISCUSSING HYBRID VEHICLES RELATED TOPICS.

LEARNING SKILLS
KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS DISCUSSED USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL OBJECTIVES REQUIRES DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF THERMODYNAMICS, APPLIED MECHANICS, FLUID MACHINERY AND ENERGY SYSTEMS AS WELL AS BASICS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELLING AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.
Contents
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF 60 HOURS (6 ECTS) DIVIDED INTO THEORETICAL LESSONS (30 H), NUMERICAL EXERCISES (15 H) AND GUIDED EXERCISES WITH THE PERSONAL COMPUTER (15 H).
THE MAIN ARGUMENTS ADDRESSED IN THE COURSE ARE:
- THE ENERGY/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. EVOLUTIONARY SCENARIOS. EMERGING ISSUES IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR (5/0/0 H).
- HYBRID PROPULSION. HYBRIDIZATION AND ELECTRIFICATION. INTERACTIONS WITH THE ENERGY SYSTEM. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION. PROPULSION TECHNOLOGIES (INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND FUEL CELL HYBRID VEHICLES). DESIGN AND CONTROL METHODS (10/0/0 H).
- THEORETICAL, EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY FOR PROPER SIZING AND DEFINITION OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGIES FOR ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS (15/15/15 H).
Teaching Methods
TEACHING, HELD IN ENGLISH, INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (30 H), CLASSROOM EXERCISES WITH INDIVIDUAL COMPUTER (20 H) AND LABORATORY EXERCISES (10 H). THE EXERCISES INVOLVE PERFORMING CALCULATION EXAMPLES RELATED TO THE VARIOUS TOPICS DEALT WITH, WITH IMPLEMENTATION IN THE MATLAB-SIMULINK ENVIRONMENT. IN LABORATORY EXERCISES, STUDENTS APPLY THE EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY FOR THE ACQUISITION AND INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA COMPONENTS OF HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS AND ON VEHICLES.
THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED AS FOLLOWS:
- CLASSROOM LESSONS RELATED TO ALL TOPICS ADDRESSED IN THE COURSE.
- CLASSROOM EXERCISES. THE EXERCISING PART INVOLVES CARRYING OUT CALCULATION EXAMPLES RELATED TO THE VARIOUS TOPICS, WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE MATLAB-SIMULINK ENVIRONMENT.
- LABORATORY EXERCISES AT THE "LABORATORY OF MACHINES AND ENERGY SYSTEMS". IN LABORATORY EXERCISES, STUDENTS APPLY THE EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY FOR THE ACQUISITION AND INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON COMPONENTS OF HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS AND VEHICLE.
Verification of learning
THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH AN EVALUATION EXAM (30 IS THE MAXIMUM MARK). THE VERIFICATION CONSISTS OF A TEAM PROJECT AND AN ORAL EXAM.
IN THE FIRST TEST, THE STUDENT HAS TO PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE SOLUTION OF A TYPICAL ENGINEERING PROBLEM ASSIGNED AND CARRIED OUT DURING THE CLASSROOM EXERCISE HOURS.
THE ORAL TEST CONSISTS IN A DISCUSSION, LASTING NO MORE THAN ABOUT 40 MINUTES, FOCUSED ON THE EVALUATION OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, AUTONOMY OF ANALYSIS AND JUDGMENT AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. PARTICULARLY, QUESTIONS ARE MADE ON HYBRID VEHICLES WORKING PRINCIPLES, THE THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL METHODS ADOPTED FOR DESIGNING AND EFFICIENTLY CONTROLLING SUCH POWERTRAINS, AS WELL AS THE CRITERIA USED TO SELECT THE MOST APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY AND CONFIGURATION, DEPENDING ON END-APPLICATIONS.
THE EVALUATION OF THE TESTS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CAPABILITIES OF SELECTING THE MOST SUITABLE METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF HYBRID VEHICLES POWERTRAINS, EXPRESSING IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE WAY THE OBJECTIVES, THE METHOD AND RESULTS OF THE PROPOSED PROBLEM SOLVING PROCEDURE, AS WELL AS DEEPENING THE TOPICS WITH REFERENCES DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SUGGESTED.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT EXHIBITS LIMITED COMPETENCE IN SELECTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY, LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE STUDIED WORKING PRINCIPLES AND STILL IMPROVABLE COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (30/30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT PROVES HIS COMPLETE AND WIDE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORKING PRINCIPLES AND HIS COMPETENCE IN USING THE STUDIED DESIGN AND CONTROL METHODOLOGIES.
THE MAXIMUM EVALUATION WITH HONORS (30/30 CUM LAUDE) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT PROVES AN OUTSTANDING COMPETENCE ON THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TOPICS, AS WELL AS HIGH COMMUNICATION AND INVESTIGATION SKILLS ALSO IN CONTEXT DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED DURING THE LECTURES.
