Project info
Currently MAE 188 is not a substitute for EECS 159A / CSE 181A, but we are investigating a way for it to fulfill the requirements of EECS 159B / CSE 181B. For now it can be a technical elective.

Project Idea: Add a solar panel with an MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller and lithium ion batteries to a golf cart, then compare to traditional lead acid and other market options. Controller (Pi) will match the panel voltage to battery voltage through a DC/DC converter to maximize power.

This project is a study co-sponsored by Southern California Edison which will investigate various aspects of a microgrid in which Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) serve a significant portion of customer load. These resources include hydro generation, photovoltaic (solar) generation, and energy storage. When completed, the Demo-E project will have tested several working scenarios and will demonstrate an operating microgrid which comprises multiple DERs; all managed by a dedicated control system.
