Electric Drive Control

Electric mobility plays a central role in energy transition and greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies. The transportation sector is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 32% of France's total emissions. Decarbonizing this sector is therefore essential to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Consequently, vehicle electrification has become a major challenge in meeting sustainable development goals.

France has launched an extensive program to develop electric mobility through various public incentive policies. Key measures include incentives for purchasing electric vehicles, ecological bonuses, and initiatives to transition public and private fleets to zero-emission vehicles. The 2021 Climate and Resilience Act sets even stricter targets, banning the sale of new combustion-engine vehicles starting in 2035.

This training course aligns with this initiative by offering an in-depth study of the electrical systems used in electric vehicles (EVs), such as electric motors, energy storage systems (batteries), energy conversion and management devices, and control systems. The objective is to gain both theoretical and practical understanding of the components and technologies underlying these systems while exploring the technical challenges and solutions related to their implementation.

The training is structured into three sessions: BE1 (2 hours), 4 hours of practical work, and BE2 (2-hour presentation).

• 2 hours of problem analysis (BE).
• 4 hours of experimental work on one of the two themes : control and electrical engineering (TP).
• 2 hours of capitalization and oral feedback in front of the other part of the group and a teacher (BE).
