The following tasks are required to be performed in parallel with Design 4A reporting / proposal
formulation etc. Completion of the following tasks will be evaluated as part of the technical
progress of the project and as successful completion of the technical component of the project in
addition to the Design 4A reporting activities.
Week 1 - 2 : Review on electric vehicle power train topologies. Review on present system voltage /
current levels in the electric vehicle power trains (EV power trains)
Weeks2 - 3 : Review of available DC circuit breaker technology for EV applications. Limitation and
their principle of operation
Week 2 - Progress meeting with supervisor
Weeks 3 - Summarising the available technology options and selection of an appropriate technology
for a more detailed study / simulation.
Week 4 - Implementation of a simulation model of the selected DC circuit breaker.
