Introduction
Waleed Atallah– Technology High School– Rohnert Park, California
Solar to Electrical Energy Systems Design:
Creating a mobile energy platform powered by the Sun
A SHIP Project
Ship = Summer High School STEM Internship Program– A partnership between the School of Science and Technology (SST) at Sonoma State University (SSU) and the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE)
The Main Idea
● Solar Energy and its Potential– Under-used in US– Solar Market expected to double by the end of 2012
● Our Objectives– Remote Data Acquisition– Making solar power mobile
The Project
● Portable Energy Source– Converting solar energy to electrical energy– Energy Storage
● 12 Volt Battery
– 110 Volt AC outlet
● Mechanical and Electrical Aspects– Building the frame– Wiring and building the electrical circuits
Engineering Requirements● Structurally Sound
– Top heavy; support– everything on a pole
● Mobile– Easy to move– Easy to transport
● Easy to adjust– Face the sun– Collect most energy
Mechanical Design
● Building the System– Make the parts list
● Supplies● Quantity● Cost● Subtotal
– Shop for the parts– Design and build the– mechanical structure– Design and add electrical circuits
Electrical Engineering
Solar Panels
Voltage Regulator
Battery
Voltage Converter
for electronics
Voltage Inverter for
AC
Electrical Engineering
● 12 to 5 volt converter– 12 Volts in, 5 Volts out
● Customizable– Most electronics run on– 5 Volts– Design, build, and add– Features
Electrical Measurements
● Volt meters and Watt meters– Acquiring Data– Variable Positioning– Solar panels in series and– in parallel
Extra Gadgets
• LED• 12 Volt Tow Light• Light Bulb• Compass• Magnetic Protractor
Results
● Efficacy of Solar to Electrical Conversion
● Maximum Efficiency– Most Power
Completed Project
Accomplishments– Energy Storage– Variable voltage to consistent 12 volts– 12 volts DC to 5 volts DC– 12 volts DC to 110 volts AC
● Future Applications– Emergency/Disaster-Relief Kits
