Electrical Technology in Modern Electric Vehicles
Brought to you by IEEE Nebraska Section's IAS and PES Technical Chapters.
The evening will begin with a thirty minute networking session at 5:30pm followed by dinner and the Update on Electric Transportation Update presentation at approximately 6:30pm.
The performance of modern Electric Vehicles is significantly better than that of earlier EVs. The higher energy storge and power output of Li Ion batteries is perhaps the most important contributor, but several other improved electrical components have also contributed significantly. These include three phase AC motors, high efficiency power electronics in DC to AC inverters, and microcomputers in motor controllers. Performance improving technologies and their introduction in EVs are discussed in this presentation. Experience with modern electric cars will be available for attendees.

Biography:
Dr. Donald Cox
Dr. Donald Cox is a visiting professor of Electrical Engineering at UNL and the Harald Trap Friis Professor emeritus, Stanford University, CA after being at Stanford for 19 years. Earlier he was at Bell Labs (15 years) and manager of radio research at Bellcore (10 years). He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of IEEE, AAAS, RCA and Bellcore. From UNL he received an Honorary Dr. of Science in 1983 and the EE Dept. Outstanding Alumnus award in 2010. He received the 1993 IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, the 1983 International Marconi Prize in EM Wave Propagation (Italy), the RCA 2010 Armstrong Medal and several other awards from the IEEE, UNL and other entities. He is author or coauthor of over 285 journal and conference papers and has 19 patents. Dr. Cox is a Registered Engineer in Nebraska and Ohio.
Donald Cox taught Electric Vehicles at UNL for 8 years after he and his wife moved to Lincoln when he retired from Stanford in 2012. He and a colleague had created the EV class. Don and his wife have been EVangelists for electrical vehicles since their son loaned them his GM EV-1 in the early 2000s. They have two Tesla Roadsters, one is the 60th car delivered to customers in 2008, and two Tesla Model S, one is the 1360th sedan delivered to customers in 2012. He is a life Fellow of the IEEE. Don has a BS and MS in EE and an honorary Dr. of Science from UNL. He is a registered PE emeritus in Nebraska. His PhD in EE is from Stanford University.
