Wind And Hydroelectric Power Simulation For The Dc House Project, Randy Lormand, Christopher Goloskie
Electrical Engineering
This project details the design and integration of a wind and hydroelectric power simulation system in correlation with the DC House Project. The simulator uses variable speed drives to rotate a DC motor which then drives a generator to produce output. This output is then regulated using a DC to DC converter which holds the voltage level constant making it easier to interface with other power sources for the house. The test results indicate that the simulator will be able to produce two separate power outputs that will provide at least 70 Watts of power in the acceptable speed range …

The DC House is a humanitarian project intended to provide electricity to rural areas that would benefit from electricity, but are too remote to have access to it. This particular project is to design and construct the feeder box for the electrical distribution system to distribute power to the system as well as protect it. Building an electrical panel that is easily maintained and, above all, safe for the user is key to this project.

Electrical Engineering
This paper details the process in designing the distribution panel, or circuit breaker box for a DC house. The main purpose of the project is to design a distribution panel that will provide electrical power to the DC house while also providing an electrical system protection through the use of circuit breakers, or fuses. An actual hardware design for the distribution panel was built and tested. The results demonstrate the functionality of the breaker box to supply power to the DC House ensuring safe operation of the DC House.
