    Here is a list of projects in EV charging and battery charging spaces that could serve as potential

    simulation projects.

    Number of team members: Group of 2 to 5

    Evaluation Criteria:

    Simulation Project - Students choose a reading topic on one of the applications of power converters
    and/or voltage source converters in energy systems, and reproduce the results reported in this paper
    by means of time-domain simulation. A report presenting the theoretical background, system model,
    system parameters, control design steps, and simulation results along with a softcopy of developed
    models should be submitted (by email) by December 2, 2024, 6:00 pm.

    One page summary on proposed Simulation Project should be submitted by September 23, 2024,
    6:00 pm for instructor’s approval.

    Evaluation of Simulation Project is based on the quality of submitted reports, developed model, and
    a 15-minute presentation (on Nov 25th or Dec 2nd) summarizing key findings in the project followed
    by 5 minutes Q&A.
