Battery-to-BatteryOur goal in this project was to create the power electronics circuitry and control system to safely charge one pack of lithium ion cells using another battery pack. We wanted to make the system bidirectional such that either battery pack could charge the other.

We would like to thank our larger course team - Ned Danyliw, Andrew Ponec, Robert Sun, Steve Clark, and Professor Bill Dally - for their support, patience, and motivation in this project and throughout the quarter! Ultimately, this has been a really fun and exciting project for all three of us and we all looking forward to working on green electronics more in the future. |
Making vehicle-to-vehicle charging possibleAdi and Robert spent the summer working at StartX under a fellowhip from the TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy to develop a business around vehicle-to-vehicle charging for electric vehicles. This work formed the inspiration for our final project, since the core technology of vehicle-to-vehicle charging is battery-to-battery charging. Vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid technologies have been studied in depth, but we wanted to take on a new challenge of moving charge between two electric vehicle batteries.
