FYP 2 Week 14 : Presentation

INTRODUCTION

During presentation the development and analysis performance of PV-TE by using raspberry pi is presented to the accessors. Everything working will as expected base on the plan. During the Presentation day all part and connection was explain to the accessors in detailed to make them understanding about my project. All result show as proof that this project done successfully as planning and expected.

FYP 2 Week 14 : Poster for presentation

OBJECTIVE:

To finish the poster for the presentation for A1 size

METHOD

Using Microsoft Office Publisher to design the poster 

RESULT

Poster done base on the requirement need from the university

FYP 2 Week 13 : Work plan and total costing

Work Plan

The time frame allocated for this research study is 12 months. It started in January 2015 and is projected to be completed in January 2013. The Gantt chart for the project and its milestone are shown in table 5. Practically, the performance of electrical properties that will produce from module to Raspberry Pi. So the knowledge about Raspberry Pi software should be taken a long period to be done especially since we need to write in phyton language. Other than that, the difficulty that been faced is the connection between software and hardware. If the connection is not match for each other in case there is a failure in hardware or software the output as to monitor performance PV-TE also fails, by then the objectives will not be achieved. To solve these kind of problems it should be referred to professional that familiar with the Raspberry Pi software and also do troubleshoot by correcting the failure parts or system. This data is then analyzed, with many simplifying assumption applied. Besides produce software, prototype of PV-TE hybrid system hardware will be built to enables the community to visualize the impact and application of the proposed methods in determining the best solution in PV-TE hybrid system design with respect to reliability and cost.

Methodology is a needed process in order to achieve the project objectives. In other terms, it is used to develop the project itself. In this project, there have been several main components are used such as the Raspberry Pi, solar panel and thermal plate. All the main components is combine as a one system, Photovoltaic Thermoelectric hybrid module using Raspberry Pi 2.

FYP 2 Week 12 : Results & analysis

This project required hardware and software combination. For the software, raspbian os is used. Next, the program was written using the terminal txt on the Raspberry. The testing process cover both software and hardware to make the troubleshooting process easier to be made.

   The final testing is carried out to determine whether the system is running accordingly to the requirement or not. Later, some tuning process is made to make sure the system give the best result. The testing process covered the process of the whole system.

Software Result


Collect the data from the software, the results are recorded as below. The values of current and voltage are different by varying the variable resistor 1KΩ. The data are logged every seconds

Theoretically, PV cells can be modeled as a current source in parallel with a diode. In the absent of light to generate any current, the PV cell will behaves like a diode. As the intensity of incident light increases, current is generated by the PV cell, as illustrated in figure below. The objective of this experiment is been achieved which is to estimate the IV curve characteristic of PV module.

FYP 2 Week 11 : Full Assembling And Full Image Of Product

OBJECTIVE:

To assemble all component perfectly as the product is ready to use.

To assemble part and complete the wiring in the system.

METHOD

Finalize assemble the equipment by fitted every component and also wiring in the system

RESULT

The development of PV-TE hybrid module by using Raspberry Pi.

The full assemble project.

Because of the porting of the display is failed because I'm not that good with python language, I decided to use an easy code that seem to working.

FYP 2 Week 10 : Deciding on the result display

OBJECTIVE : To decide on how the result are showing


METHOD : Asking help from fellow forummer on raspberrypi.org and lowyat.net, on installing a 3rd party software. Meeting with Sir Zaki to decide on which display to choose.


RESULT : Display to use decided


CONCLUSION : From the meeting with Sir Zaki, I'm able to understand more on what to expect on the results.

FYP 2 Week 9 : Connect all part

OBJECTIVE : To connect and see if all part are in good condition


METHOD : Connecting the hybrid module to the charging circuit.


RESULT : The charging circuit can supply to a load


CONCLUSION :
