Project description
This project will design and develop a standardized modular battery pack system based on an existing set of lithium cells. This module will form the basis of a standardized energy system that will be utilized by and directly facilitate multiple Flinders research projects such as robotics projects, solar car project, and energy generation projects. The pack will support cell management and safety as well as charging from a range potential sources, such as 12V automotive systems, 240V grid power, and solar power, and able to output regulated 12V DC and 240V AC. The system will need to support a reconfigurable modular structure to facilitate a large number of modules to operate as a single system via standardized internal communication interface. A standardized external wireless communication interface will be required to allow monitoring of the system such as pack and cell voltages and currents, State of Charge (SoC), and future support for State of Health (SoH) estimates.

Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
