DC DISTRUBUTION CONTROLLER
Team #1Gerardo Trevino Jeremy HalbardierJavier GuerreroOlakunle Sosanya
STATUS REPORT #21/25/2010
OVERALL NEED
•Currently Must use inverter to use free energy generated from solar array system
•Power is lost in the conversion from DC to AC
•Eliminate the need for the conversion and use DC directly
List of design Milestones (with target dates)
1. Buy parts
2. Build prototype
3. Program FPGA/Microcontroller
Recent tasks
1.Wrapping up CCET/IEEE competition
paper.
2.Bringing business team up to speed
in the project process.
3.Submit budget proposal.
Ongoing/Pending Tasks
1. Finish economic analysis for product (paper)
2. Finish design section (paper)
3. Purchase prototype parts.
4. Simulate circuit in FPGA
5. Learn C-Neuron language.
Upcoming Tasks
• Finish IEEE/CCET competition paper• Finalize product selection list• Purchase products to build prototype
