Our Team Plan

This is a big project and its always hard to know where to begin when entering uncharted terrain, so we decide the only way to start is by setting up our equipment and looking at what we have, how it's preforming and trying to figure out a way to meet our objectives. 

The major steps involved are:

*Getting each generator tested and running successfully
*Set up busbar batteries
*Set up inverter
*Link our generators and the others to the busbar
*Connect busbar to inverter

Each step will be further broken down according to whats required.  



  


 Class Goals



*Supply one phase to the 'grid' using a 1.5kW grid-tied inverter and several generation sources.

*Working safely in teams to achieve the goal and documenting the process online using e-portfolios.



E.M.F Conversion Goals

*Generate electricity using Hydroelectric generation,  Horizontal wind turbine.

*Coordination of 24VDC bus batteries and 2kW inverter.

Our class at Benmore dam

High Voltage Pre Trade

We started this year looking to gain the skills and training to get an apprenticeship in the electrical supply industry. This  is a blog to our biggest and most challenging project, to generate enough electricity to power our classroom with any excess electricity to be sold to the national grid. The class has been split into three teams, with each team having their own responsibilities. Our team is "E.M.F Conversions" and this blog is documenting our journey for trying to achieving our goals.
