Client: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at ISU Advisor: Professor R. Patterson III Team Members: Daniel J. Marquis (EE – 1 st ) – team leader Hong Nguyen (EE – 2 st ) December 9, 2003 Power - Ongo-01c
Definitions DC/DC Power Supply – DC Voltage ‘A’ to DC Voltage ‘B’ DC/AC AC/DC Power Supply – DC Voltage ‘A’ to AC 120V – AC 120V to DC Voltage ‘B’
Presentation Outline Introduction – to power sub team project Project Activities – past, present, future Resources & Schedules – where we are Conclusions – results & implications
Introduction
Problem Statement Primary Problem – Inefficient DC/AC AC/DC Secondary Problem –Sensors wall powered Tertiary Problem – Maintenance / Support
Intended Users & Uses Users – OSCAR team members (Software, Sensors, and Motion Control) Uses – Power OSCAR during demos (The power system is not intended to provide power to non-related devices like home theater systems, full fledged desktop computers, electric lawn mowers, and halogen lamps.)
Assumptions and Limitations Short Demonstrations Sensitive Power System Isolation Limited Battery Power
End Product(s) DC-DC power supply system for computer Power budget for OSCAR Onboard power supply for sensors (either temporary or permanent)
Project Activity Description
Previous Accomplishments DC/DC Converter Designed (Spring ‘02) DC/DC Converter Constructed (Fall ’02) Battery Sensors Installed (Fall ’02)
Present Accomplishments DC/DC Testing Commenced Power Budget Made Documentation updated & posted on web Concluded DC/DC not up to spec.
Future Required Activities Maintain Power System (ongoing) Improve Fusing (Spring 2004 & ongoing) Commercial Power Supply Evaluation (Spring 2004)
Approaches Considered and the One Used Sensor Power - Rechargeable Battery Pack - DC/AC/DC Conversion Setup - DC/DC Converter ( Future) - Run off of PC ( Used Now)
