  • Impact of EV charging loads on electrical distribution systems

    Electric vehicle (EV) charging loads are expected to increase rapidly over the next few years. This project will investigate their impacts on existing power grids. Team Members: David Cheriyan, Kehaan Baria, Abdullah Dar, Samiul Kazi, Momin Raja.
  • Microgrid Design

    The objective of this project is to design a microgrid to serve a small community. The microgrid can operate in both islanding mode and grid-connected mode. Team Members: Abdullah Dar, Samiul Kazi, R. Sohal, Momin Raja.
  • Parallel HVAC/HVDC transmission system

    The objective of this project is to analyze the effectiveness of parallel HVDC/HVAC transmission system to deliver bulk power over long distances. Team Members: Jiacheng Li, Jiaqi Wang.
  • Design of Protection Relay by Microcontroller

    The objective of this project is to design an overcurrent protection relay by using a microcontroller. Team Members: Ryan Kula, Pranav Mistry, Jay Raleshkumar Randeri, Sarbjit Singh.
  • McMaster Microgrid Design

    The objective of this project is to design a McMaster microgrid to reduce electricity costs and improve reliability. Team Members: Parteek Dhami, Helen Zhang, Youming Luo.
  • Incorporation of McMaster EV Charging Stations

    The objective of this project is to design an upgrade to McMaster's distribution network to accommodate more EV charging stations in anticipation of a large increase in EVs on campus. Team Members: Navjit Singh, Susana Arcila, Shivani Mistri.
