Importance Scale: 1 - Low, 2 - Moderate, 3 - High IDRisk ItemEffectCauseLikelihoodSeverityImportanceAction to Minimize RiskOwner 1 Exceeding target cost per unit. Other features of the end product may be not included. Component cost. Manufacturing cost. 339 Minimize the amount of components. Increase the functionality of existing components (ex: have more tasks run within the uC). Xiaolong 2 P12442 does not provide sufficient temperature difference Not enough power, features must be sacrificed, poor functionality Insufficient communication between teams 339 Effectively communicate with P12442 over generated temperature difference. Colin 3 Unable to program microcontroller The MPPT will not be able to provide maximum power and the batteries will not charge properly. Inexperience, difficulty, hardware complications. 236 Community support, professor and professional assistance Lauren and Colin 4 Device requires too much power. Unit will not have full functionality. Unstable behavior when operated. Poor design and component selection. 236 Design to be as power efficient as possible. Utilize MPPT functions. Using the uC as much as possible. Andrew

5 Device fails to operate. The project will not be completed. Poor design Poor project planning, 236 Have at least weekly design meetings to look over designs. Choose high quality parts that can handle and supply the required power with minimal losses. Lauren 6 Prototype construction time Less time for de- bugging, failure to deliver on time Poor planning, complex system. Unforeseen circumstances 236 Strict scheduling milestones, effective and reachable deadlines, component delivery time, ordering parts early enough Colin 7 System cannot power fan during "warm up" Stove will take longer to heat up and longer for the TEG to provide full power. Component failure. Bug in the uC code. Poor design. 236 Design the unit to operate on battery power. Ensure the uC operates correctly Andrew 8 Going over development budget. Difficult to be able to fund further development. Poor planning133 Track spending Ordering correct parts Proper testing. Xiaolong 9 Battery charging difficulties Decreased battery lifetime, system does not operate properly Inexperience in the area, poor design 236Professor and professional assistance Xiaolong and Andrew 10 Complexity of operation Sell less units Improper use Reduce system lifetime Poor Design133 Minimize user interaction. Make simple to operate. Colin

11 Decreased reliability Fewer sales. Unit will get damaged more often. Poor part selection. Poor fabrication. Poor design. 133 Design the unit to be as robust as possible. Choose high-lifetime components. Lauren 12 Power storage capacity System start-up failure. Cannot charge devices without a fire. Poor system design. Poor system storage capacity. 122 Use high-capacity storage to meet customer specs. Andrew
