First-Year Engineering Program Performance Test 3: Energy Optimization Objective and Goals Lab Procedure Analysis Test Readiness Review

First-Year Engineering Program AEV Project Objective (Problem Definition) INITIAL CONCEPTS (Brainstorming) INITIAL EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ANALYZE DESIGN DECISION RESEARCH COMPARE FINAL DESIGN Present AEV Design PT 1 PT 2 PT 3 PT 4 (Power Available)(Energy Analysis)(Programming)

First-Year Engineering Program Objectives 1.Develop operational programs (2 minimum) 2.Focus on meeting the objectives consistently and track independent while improving energy efficiency 3.Test program strategy and analyze results statically and on the classroom track

First-Year Engineering Program Goals 1.Plot AEV power-time curves, 2.Determine energy used throughout AEV operations, 3.Record results in PT4 summary report 4.Use results to work on modifying programming strategy to improve energy used

First-Year Engineering Program Data Analysis Sec. 3: Data Analysis cont. 3.Use AEV Design Software 4.Calculate and compare total energy used

First-Year Engineering Program Data Analysis – What does it mean? PT3 Improve energy efficiency in overall operational characteristics Energy optimization PT4 Final Testing CDR Final configuration and program design

First-Year Engineering Program PT3 Operational Objectives Assignments 1.Prepare PT3-TRR Requirements (DUE at the BEGINNING of the lab) 2.Prepare AEV-PT3 Summary document, using Grading Guidelines

First-Year Engineering Program PT3-TRR Requirements TEAM: 1.From PT2 results, select a base program that provides the best results in meeting the operational objectives. Provide a copy of the power-time curve and results from PT2 for a baseline for PT3. INDIVIDUAL: 1.Develop an operational program focusing on improving meeting the operational objectives and energy efficiency from PT2. Confirm operations statically. (Spin wheel by hand.) 2.Using AEV Analysis software, generate static power-time curve and overall operation energy used for each INDIVIDUAL written program. Turn in plot and overall energy used for each INDIVIDUAL.

First-Year Engineering Program PT3 Day 1 1.Start working on PT3 Test Readiness Review Document including: a.Plan for classroom track testing Manage your time and team member responsibilities!

First-Year Engineering Program PT3 Day 2: Work Session 1.Continue working on PT3 Test Readiness Review Document including: a.Continue planning for classroom track testing 2.Start PT3 Summary following PT3 Grading Guidelines 3.AEV Static Testing should be tested and analysis plots generated Manage your time and team member responsibilities!
