Research existing multi-vehicle, PV-assisted vehicle charging facilities. Create a report for one that has characteristics that interest you. At the minimum, the report and its narrative should include:

An image of the system
A summary of technical specs
Info on who and what this facility designed is to serve
Especially note: Is it grid connected, is there energy storage? If so, what kind?
What interested you in this particular design?
The URL, article reference, etc. for your information source(s)

You have the option of producing a written report in full sentence, paragraph form (with bulleted lists where appropriate), or a slide presentation with voiceover in VoiceThread, Your report upload is due 11 PM Tuesday 1/16. Written report uploads should be a PDF or Word file. VoiceThreads should be limited to 6 slides. Writing style and engineering document design counts, so take the same care with this report as you would any other important assignment.

See the Using VoiceThread link on the left for instructions for creating a multimedia report from a PowerPoint or PDF document. Upload your report using the VoiceThread Reports link. Set your sharing to include the class.

A grading rubric is included.

The Above diagram is the block diagram of grid connected Photo voltaic (solar) based Electric vehicle charging station. The system is designed for charging of multiple small electric vehicles. External batteries serve the system when there is no light. This makes the system efficient because vehicles can be charged without dependence on the solar production. These solar system can support 10,000 miles of EV driving per year, per vehicle parking space, on renewable power.

Major components of the EV charging station include

the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE),
solar canopy,
battery, and
data collection and communications equipment.
The solar canopy consists of a 47 kW photovoltaic (PV) solar array mounted above the charging stations to provide shade for the vehicles. The station’s 84 kWh battery bank does not store energy generated by the solar array. Instead, it acquires energy from the grid and functions as a supplement to the charging stations in periods of peak demand, so as to reduce strain on the system and suppress surge demand.
