Our group of three conducted a preliminary investigation before beginning the sketching
and construction of our system. We researched LED specifications, including voltage, current,
and resistance. For the residential LED color red, there is a 1.8V voltage requirement, a 15mA
current requirement, and a 48-72 resistance requirement. For the industrial LED color amber,
requirement. We also calculated testing scenario requirements wired in series and including a
330 resistor. The residential LED scenario requirement for 2 LEDs was 3.6V and 30mA. For 3
LEDs, it was 5.4V and 45mA. For 4 LEDs was 7.2V and 60mA. For 5 LEDs was 9V and 75mA.
The industrial LED scenario requirement for 2 LEDs was 4V and 60mA. For 3 LEDs, it was 6V
and 90mA. For 4 LEDs was 8V and 120mA. For 5 LEDs was 10V and 150mA. We then
researched and tested individual power generation devices. The voltage and current output for a
solar panel are 2.5V and 180mA. The voltage and current output for a hydrogen fuel cell are .6V
to .9V per cell and 250mA. The voltage and current output for a AA battery are 1.5V and
2400mA. We then calculated and tested possible power generation device circuit configurations
connected in a series, parallel, and series-parallel, considering all testing scenarios and device
quantity limitations. The sketches for these tests can be found attached to this document.
Renewable Electrical Energy Generation and Distribution System
Design Brief:
Design Statement: Design and create a renewable electrical energy generating and
distributing system that utilizes wind, solar, and fuel cell energy
conversion systems.
We made no modifications to our final solution sketch once we created it, therefore we have no
modification sketches.
