Cooling System Optimization

Investigation into Cooling System Need

Dec. 2022

Battery

** Backlogged for now **

Coulomb Counting for Capacity of battery

Initial Research Tickets

  • Explore the different methods in more detail

  • Gather constraints for our use-case

Battery/Strategy Audits

  • Team individual documentation/code audits to determine “what’s there” and most importantly determine what was achieved before

Dec. 2022

Strategy / Battery

  • 1 member assigned to Columb Counting from each team

  • Teams work together on a weekly basis to carry out agile development

  • We iterate as we progress starting with most simple concept

  • Cross verify methods as they get more advanced with expected results

  • Validate with different currents (constant and changing)

  • Explore previously collected data from previous projects

Battery Module Testing

Battery/Strategy Audits

  • Team individual documentation/code audits to determine “what’s there” and most importantly determine what was achieved before

Strategy / Battery

Battery WIP to explore Micah’s work. (Check out Micha’s GitHub)

Battery-led development. Strategy available to assist with any tasks.

 

Battery Monitoring Dashboard

Prototyping Phase

  • Designing dashboard, mock-ups, from initial research, competitive analysis

  • Generate “Menu” for Battery team

Initial Research

  • Generate list of data that is 1) feasible 2) desired and 3) measurable

Dec. 2022

Strategy / ~ Battery

Strategy WIP, will generate “MENU” once term kicks off.

Solar Array Testing

Battery Ownership

  • Battery - Gauge interest in leading project

  • Strategy - Find dedicated member to lead project and begin to scope the data collection plan.

Re-convene with possible owner(s).

Dec. 2022

Strategy / ~ Battery

Priority: Assign a Strategy member to lead. In-person BAY visit to figure out solar cart, measurement tools, logistics, battery involvements, etc.

Optional requisite: MMPT functionality, test separately and then integrate

Mimic a measurement this Winter to support the data collection plan.

Measure every parameter. Angle, date, weather, temp.

Expected solar energy vs received solar energy.

 

Sunny Day

Complete Strategy ownership - will keep battery in the loop.
