The main elements of renewable energy that directly generate and convert electricity are electromechanical energy converters (electric generators in wind and hydropower, supply stations, etc.), semiconductor power converters (inverters for solar panels), and their combinations. For effective and coordinated operation of such generation systems it is necessary to use special control methods that are studied in the discipline.
Methods of controlling the engines of electric vehicles have a number of differences from the existing in electric drives general industrial mechanisms, so students need to study it to understand the principles and features of electromechanical systems of electric vehicles.
