Power Simulation By: David Lehinger, Jarod Moore, Gus Franco McKinney High School 11-21-2014 POE (Principles of Engineering)
Research Summary • Jarod Researched Solar power to find that, when simulated in our system, powers up to 2 residential LED’s, and, When powered in real life, can power an entire home • Gus Researched Wind power to find that, when simulated in our system, assuming to spin the crank fast, can produce up to 5 LED’s, and, When use in real life can power 2 to 5 homes per turbine (assuming its windy enough) • David researched the hydro fuel cell, only to find that it barely produces enough to power 1 LED, therefore we dumped it, although in real life they can manage to be amazing batteries for other power sources
Design Brief • Client-Residential and Industrial • Design Problem- Create a 24 hour simulated power supply/demand system • Constaints-Using (2)Solar panels and/or (2)Hydrocells and/or a wind turbine create a simulated 24 hour demand cycle Shown below
