PVDR Battery Test Plan Review

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dxwS8P7276XU3a09O-ceaUvEBJdM0MLSxGR7zkgU4GE/edit
Similar level of detail to MSXIV which got accepted, should be okay
Still need to adjust test cases for current draw for smaller pack

Decided to go with on-vehicle SoC calc with max17261.pdf on current sense
- CC by itself is not sufficient due to drift, algo needs to integrate vsense to anchor CC mesurements
- Developing in-house SoC algo is difficult and unsure of what accuracy will be
Eric’s notes: https://uwmidsun.atlassian.net/l/cp/oPkT0eia

Has theoretical power of one array using pysolar
Next steps:
- Model all panels + effects of aero curvature
- Obtain power for a given route
- Add weather effects
- Account for system efficiency over varying loads

Solar panel connected to MPPT
- 7x4 stack, 1 mppt, connected to dc load
- Panel lying flat with protective film
- dc load set to 25V, 60W as measured at load with no clouds
- Dropped to 45W with clouds
Compared with protective film vs without 100W vs 125W without
- 56 cells (200W max → 63%)
- Voc -> 19v
- Isc → recorded
- Both MPPTs connected series

Tested with batteries as well, similar power to eload
Spoke with Elmar, set output pot so that they are proportional to stack sizes
