Week 23 (4/2/17-4/8/17)

4/3/17 Meeting with Dr. Bazzi

  • Collect data with motor blower
  • Go to 20-30% because we want to see charge controller go to deep cycle charging mode. Bazzi suggests going to deep cycle. 
  • Running off batteries, no pv charge
  • Monitor current change when battery voltage drops during discharge
  • 20-80% and vice Versa for determining how long it takes.
  • For 20 to 80 we want to see charging with no load and full load.
  • Multiple tests of motor start up transients (10 times) and find an average (current overshoot etc)
  • Bazzi suggests we monitor an irradiance meter
  • Clearly state cautions and warnings in owners manual
