Design and construction of electric motor dynamometer and grid attached storage laboratory
by Lutz, Markus, M.S., COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY, 2011, 172 pages; 1503612

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to describe the design and development of a laboratory facility to both educate students on electric vehicle components as well as allow researchers to gain experimental results of grid-attached-storage testing. With the anticipated roll out of millions of electric vehicles, manufacturers of such vehicles need educated hires with field experience. Through instruction with this lab, Colorado State University plans to be a major resource in equipping the future electric vehicle work force with necessary training and hands-on experience using real world, full-scale, automotive grade electric vehicle components. The lab also supports research into grid-attached-storage. This thesis explains the design objectives, challenges, selections, construction and initial testing of the lab, and also provides context for the types of education and research which can be performed utilizing the laboratory.
