  2. Reason for Project Choice • Team Members Strength in Circuit Design • Interest in Alternative Energy • Practical Design for Household Use

  3. Design

  4. Semester Progress - Jacob • PSIM Software • Team Unfamiliar with Program • Researched Unfamiliar Components • Researched How to Set Parameters and Simulate Circuits

  5. Semester Progress - Matt • Designed Boost DC/DC Converter in PSIM • Feedback Loop Necessary for Various Output Loads • Voltage and Current Monitors for Appropriate PWM

  6. Semester Progress - Jacob • Designed DC/AC Inverter in PSIM • Four IGBT for One Phase Output

  7. Semester Progress - Jacob • Research Different Microprocessors or Integrated Circuits for PWM • PIC16F690 • Texas Instruments • FN2864 – Precision Waveform Generator Integrated Circuit

  8. Semester Progress - Matt • Researched Rechargeable Battery • Lithium Ion • Lithium Ion Polymer • Lead Acid • Decided on Lithium Ion • Slow Discharge • Best Energy-to-Mass Ratio • Relatively Low Cost

  9. Semester Progress - Matt • Research Charging/Discharging Circuit • Two Methods – Pros and Cons • Simply Connect Battery to DC/DC Output • Create Circuit to Monitor Whether Charging or Discharging
