E-Truck EV Charging Subsystem Development
The student team will work to: - Evaluate different charging systems and charging protocols and finalize the charging systems that will fulfill the project’s requirements. - Investigate and finalize the routing, mounting and location of the charge inlet port. - Simulate the charging cycles to help with developing the charging controls. - Develop charging controls (includes but not limited to basic functionality, safety functions and derate strategies) - Develop test bench and a software simulation to verify the software. - Submit the final software, test procedures, wiring diagrams, and subsystem integration details of the energy generation subsystem as a final project deliverable. The student team will work on: -Component selection -Component location, mounting, routing -Component integration on the vehicle -Software development -Software verification The student team will work towards the following outcomes: -Develop charging controls (includes but not limited to basic functionality, safety functions and derate strategies). -Develop test bench and/or a software simulation to verify the software. -Submit the final software, test procedures, wiring diagrams, and subsystem integration details of the energy generation subsystem as a final project deliverable.
