Experiment Data By Capstone Team

Graphs and Tables

We have created this website to display the outcome s of our experiments involving a miniature replica of Synertec's Powerhouse model, representing a small-scale microgrid. Our investigations encompassed numerous trials conducted with our miniature microgrid model, focusing on assessing its performance under different scenarios, including varying weather conditions. To ensure the utmost accuracy in our results, we endeavored to replicate the environmental conditions of the original powerhouse. Additionally, we conducted outdoor tests in various weather conditions, such as sunny, windy, and cloudy conditions. The data presented below also illustrates the system's response when exposed to dust particles. Furthermore, we have documented various parameters, including power output, energy generation efficiency, and temperature fluctuations.

Synertec Information

We are currently engaged with Synertec as our client, working on the creation of a small-scale microgrid. Our primary objective is to investigate the optimization of surplus 500KW energy utilization through techniques such as battery cooling, with the additional aim of prolonging battery lifespans.

Supervisor

Our Capstone project is led by the experienced Dr. Manoj Datta, who brings a wealth of industry knowledge to our team. Dr. Datta holds impressive qualifications, including a Doctorate in Interdisciplinary Intelligent Systems Engineering, a Master's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and a Bachelor's in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. With 4 completed PhDs, 2 completed Masters by Research, and ongoing supervision of 5 PhD candidates, Dr. Datta's expertise is a driving force for our success and innovation

RMIT

We are currently engaged in our capstone project at RMIT University, where we've secured financial support of $1800 from the institution. This funding has been crucial in facilitating our research and experimentation, which are essential for successfully completing our project.
