1. Smart-grid Interface with Photovoltaic Installation – Phase 2 PP-01 Team members: Matt Koresh Ivan Mills Matt Martin Advisor: Dr. Aliprantis

2. Problem Statement Our group is tasked with the completion of previous work on a PV panel. The panel must be installed on top of Coover Hall and must incorporate smart grid technology. Our client has expressed a need for a wireless device to send power data between a solar inverter and a computer interface. Our client has expressed using new Zigbee technology to be incorporated in our design.

3. Solution We built upon small amounts of previous work laid out by the previous group and began a design for the installation We designed a current measuring circuit and incorporated a wireless Zigbee device in order to transmit data to a computer.

4. Previous Phase Documentation on PV panel PV panel and cables Due to lack of testing and documentation reverse engineering the inverter could prove futile.

6. Measurements and Data transfer Current will be measured from Inverter output Power will be calculated from known grid Voltage and Current measurements Data measurements will be sent over Zigbee network to computer with Software interface to display results
