• Research motivation
• Background
• Research objectives
• Methods
• App Design
• Future work
• Acknowledgements
• Questions
RESEARCH MOTIVATION
• Recent developments in renewable energy technologies
• EV adoption into the electric grid = More load for the grid
BACKGROUND
• Electric grid restructure
• Bottleneck of EVs is not charger cost, rather limiting power capacity
• Meet charging requirements of all EVs when possible
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
• Create a GUI for power capacity specification across time intervals
• Design a user-friendly interface
• Connect with ACN server for data exchange
METHODS
• Become familiar with the basics of HTML and JavaScript
• Begin basic app design
• Look up specifics as they become necessary
