Tasks accompished:
Shadow researchThis week, much progress has been made. The rough draft of the Paper on analyzing shadow-related power loss created, with major revision help from Ron Swenson and Professor Furman. The rough draft of paper submitted to the SOLAR 2016 conference
In addition, 3D modeling practice started. A lesson on Encitra was given by Carolina Nillson on monday night, and I have downloaded the necessary software
Power estimationIn the past three weeks, the sub team responsible for power estimation kept working on developing a tool capable of integrating the power consumption of the Full Scale Test Track and also the Full Scale City Routes with the software SAM - System Advisor Model, from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. With this tool the team is able to predict and estimate how much area is going to be needed to fully supply these two different scenarios.All the analysis made was based on the textbook Transit Systems Network, by Professor Anderson from the University of Minnesota.The results from SAM includes the number of modules required, the total needed area and the annual energy available on the 2 different setups for the Full Scale models.SAM already includes losses from soiling and shading but in a near future the team will also incorporate an analysis from ENCITRA about shading conditions on the city of San Jose. This study will allow the best solar panels displacement along the track.
