A new solar carport has been recently built near the Paviljoen building. The purpose of this setup is to make use of the Energy Management System (EMS) such that it synchronizes the EV charging to the solar panel assembly and a battery pack. Four out of nine EV charging points of the construction will be devoted to research started by the Computer Architecture for Embedded Systems (CAES) group of the University of Twente. This research is focused on smart scheduling so that the charging sessions will prioritize solar energy over grid energy. In order to achieve this, our team developed a user interface that is needed for the drivers to input their preferences regarding their charging session.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
