Venue : Manipal University Jaipur @ 2:50 PM
The Department of Electrical Engineering, MUJ, organized an expert talk on the topic “Architecture and Supporting Sub-systems for Electric Vehicles”. The session offered students a clear introduction to the architecture of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the essential sub-systems that support their operation. The resource person explained the key components of an EV, including the battery pack, electric motor, power electronics, transmission, and vehicle control unit, highlighting how these elements work together to achieve efficient and reliable performance.
A major part of the talk focused on the Battery Management System (BMS), which ensures battery safety, monitors cell parameters, balances charge levels, and maintains optimal operating conditions. Students learned how an effective BMS is crucial for extending battery life and preventing failures. The session also covered the different types of electric vehicles, such as BEVs, HEVs, PHEVs, and FCEVs, clarifying their structural differences and energy flow mechanisms. Additionally, students were introduced to the role of the vehicle wiring harness, which enables power distribution and communication across various EV sub-systems.
Overall, the session strengthened students’ understanding of EV technology and encouraged them to explore engineering, research, and career opportunities in the growing electric mobility sector.
