From WikIRI
Período: 13 septiembre 2010 a 4 febrero 2011
Encargado de la Formación Práctica: Ing. Stephan Strahl
Responsable científico/técnico: MSc Attila Husar
Objetivos:
Project 1:
- Retrofit a PEM fuel cell (PEMFC) power plant to be electrically autonomous
- Develop a supervisory controler to observe, visualize, and control the power plant. For safety (h2 concentration), antonomy estimator, total run time stamp and an interface to external data aquasition.
- Develop a monitoring system and external acquisition system, of the main variables (V, I, TFC, H2 consumption,...)
- Develop an autonomous calculator of the remaining autonomy of the system (in energy and time)
- External connections:
- USB: monitoring system output of V, I, TFC, H2 consumption
- 12 DC additional output for testing various loads
- Programable digital seven segment visual display
- The developed system must take into account volume, weight and cost in order to be integrated into the power plant
Project 2: Participate in the design, development and integration of an electronic power converter system based on a PEMFC + supercapacitor hybrid system.
Tasks:
- make a plan: tasks with timeline and milestones
- define controler requirements and specifications
- design electrical circuit
- specification verification: circuit simulation and system testing
- order parts
- develope software arquitecture
- program software
- testing and simulations
- Hydrogen consumption algorithm
- Build unit
- Debuging
- Final testing
- Write report and power plant instructions, component selection analysis
