VTIF Research
July 26, 2013 - (L-R) NREL intern Josh Crowley and NREL engineer Myungsoo Jun, run an experiment at the Vehicle Testing and Integration Facility (VTIF). The experiment is attempting to maximize solar power generation for the fast charging of an electric vehicle (Gray Nissan Leaf) from a solar PV source. The battery in the Ford Transit (white van) acts as a stationary battery, simulating the utility grid load and providing additional power or storing excess power as needed to fast charge the EV.
