Power Protection Analysis For A Ten Bus System, Sean Hanna
Power Protection Analysis For A Ten Bus System, Sean Hanna
Electrical Engineering
Each power system built in the industry requires a protection plan. Undetected faults in a power system can contribute to hazardous conditions, overheating of power devices, low or high system voltages, unbalanced conditions, and blackouts. This senior project is the design of a protection plan for a power system using the software Electric Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP). With ten buses, five transformers, two generators, two motors, and six transmission lines, there are many possibilities for a fault to occur. The Load flow and fault analysis are studied before the system is protected. All components of the system are protected using …

Enterprise Smart Outlet - Ios Application, Riley Mcgovern
Computer Science and Software Engineering
The Enterprise Smart Outlet is a system made up of a smart outlet, a Node.js server, and a companion iOS application. It builds on the already existing market of smart power outlets and aims to bring that type of functionality fully scaled up to the enterprise level. The smart outlet connects to the Node.js server and sends its power readings. The iOS application connects to the Node.js server to receive all power readings from all the connected smart outlets and can also toggle the power on and off for each outlet.

PolySat is a student-run, Cal Poly research program in which students develop small satellites, known as CubeSats, to be sent into space. Since the start of the program in 2000, PolySat has developed eight 10cm x 10cm x10cm CubeSats. Recently, the team has developed two satellites of double, and triple, that size for NASA-KSC & AI-Solutions and the National Science Foundation. The recent volumetric expansion has been driven by high demand for further satellite functionality, which necessitates large power generation capabilities. To remain competitive in the growing CubeSat industry, PolySat must develop a platform that can provide enough power to …

Electrical Engineering
The purpose of our senior project, Enterprise Smart Outlet, is to create an electrical outlet which will allow enterprise users to monitor and change their power consumption habits on a large scale. The initial goal of this project is to allow consumers to see their power consumption per outlet in real time, and then using that information conform their future habits to help them conserve electrical energy, and more importantly, money. Three requirements for our project to meet our initial goal are, the outlet will work in a standard electrical outlet and be completely compatible with current electrical standards, the …
Design And Fabrication Techniques Of Devices For Embedded Power Active Contact Lens, Errol Heradio Leon
Design And Fabrication Techniques Of Devices For Embedded Power Active Contact Lens, Errol Heradio Leon
Master's Theses
This thesis designed and fabricated various devices that were interfaced to an IC for an active contact lens that notifies the user of an event by detection of an external wireless signal. The contact lens consisted of an embedded antenna providing communication with a 2.4GHz system, as well as inductive charging at an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz. The lens utilized a CBC005 5µAh thin film battery by Cymbet and a manufactured graphene super capacitor as a power source. The custom integrated circuit (IC) was designed using the On Semiconductor CMOS C5 0.6 µm process to manage …
Design Methods For Remotely Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, William Beaman Howe
Design Methods For Remotely Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, William Beaman Howe
Master's Theses
A method for sizing remotely powered unmanned aerial vehicles is presented to augment the conventional design process. This method allows for unconventionally powered aircraft to become options in trade studies during the initial design phase. A design matrix is created that shows where, and if, a remotely powered vehicle fits within the design space. For given range and power requirements, the design matrix uses historical data to determine whether an internal combustion or electrical system would be most appropriate. Trends in the historical data show that the break in the design space between the two systems is around 30 miles …
