Design several possible designs for bi-directional (BD) charging including a business model with multiple partners • Create a simulation model for energy balancing for one week, using a car or a boat • Try to scope a US & Swedish scenario of what’s governing and the limits the use of a battery • What does it take to operate off-grid, and how complicated will the installation become • Build a business model for one year in operation wi&wo DB-charging • Find out the legislative limitations, as well as the technical & safety constraints • Will the extended use of a car/boat battery use up the battery quicker

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
