This will allow for monitoring and recording the power flow throughout the pico-grid.6NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Identifying Different Power Consumption7Smart Meter Power DataLIGHTSAIR CONDITIONERREFRIGERATORCOMPUTER*Not Real Data* For illustration purposes onlyPico-Grid DatavsNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Circuit Flow Diagram85 Volt Supply15 Volt SupplyVoltage MeasureSensorOpAmp ADCAmperageMeasureSensorBeagleboneMicrocomputer ComputerMATLab120 ACV Wall Outlet 120 ACV DeviceNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Prototype Main Components9Main Circuit Beaglebone BlackData Acquisition DeviceMATLab WorkspaceDisplays Acquired DataVoltage SensorAmperage SensorInputs from ADC ChipStable VoltageChanges in Current15V Power Supply5V Power SupplyTimeOpAmpADC ChipNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Work in Progress10Planning the Circuit Building the Circuit Programming Beaglebone BlackDrill Data AcquisitionDisplaying Data with MATLab Observing readings on Oscilloscope NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Working Prototype With Soldering IronVideo of Working System11NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Drill Data Analysis12NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Data AnalysisMATLab Analysis of Recorded Data13Oscilloscope Data AnalysisCellphone ChargerCurrentTimeCurrentNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Data AnalysisMATLab Analysis of Recorded Data14Oscilloscope Data AnalysisBosch DrillCurrentTimeCurrentNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Data AnalysisMATLab Analysis of Recorded Data15Oscilloscope Data AnalysisHako Brand Soldering IronCurrentTimeCurrentNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Data AnalysisMATLab Analysis of Recorded Data16Oscilloscope Data AnalysisWeller Brand Soldering IronCurrentTimeCurrentNSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Future Goals of the Project• Building extensive library of devices• Develop Printed Circuit Board (PCB)• Improve resolution of data• Wireless communication between devices• Webserver User Access17NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)Careers in Energy in the AVID Classroom• What is AVID?– (Advancement Via Individual Determination) – proven practices in order to prepare students for success in high school, college, and careers, especially students traditionally underrepresented in higher education.– methodologies that develop students’ critical thinking, literacy, and math skills across all content areas throughout the entire campus.• Standards  18NSF-RET ENERGY (Award# 1609524)AVID FOCUS STANDARDSInquiry 8-INQ.C.
