Distribution of the electricitygrid of a tiny house community: Powerline communication

This thesis will discuss the design, simulations and measurements of a powerline communication system that utilizes FSK modulation in order to transfer information from a transmitter to a receiver at a baud rate of 1kbps, in order to reach the requirement of having an effective data rate of at least 6bps. This system is designed specifically to...

Control Network of Bi-Directional Flyback DC/DC Converters

In this paper, the possibilities of a network of DC/DC flyback converters are explored. The implementation is as follows:<br/>Multiple microcontroller units are connected to a single board computer (ODROID C1+) via the I2C bus. Data collected by the MCU's is logged to an external server, where it is accessable via the internet. Users are able to...

First steps in DC homegrid power management

A demonstration setup of the Tesla Powerwall has been installed by Eneco at the department of DCE&S at the TU Delft. This setup is used to investigate the functionalities of the Tesla Powerwall. As research is being done about transforming AC homegrids towards DC homegrids, it would be interesting to investigate how the Tesla Powerwall would...
