E-Truck Storage and Distribution System

This student team will work to: -Evaluate different HV and LV architectures (includes HV Battery, Power Distribution Box, LV Battery, Step Up/ Down converters etc.) and finalize the energy distribution subsystems that will fulfill the project's requirements. - Investigate and finalize the routing, mounting and location of the HV and LV architecture components. - Develop integrated controls for HV and LV architecture (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 distribution 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 desired outcomes for this student team include: - Develop integrated controls for HV and LV architecture (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 distribution subsystem as a final project deliverable.
