Designing a cost-effective solution to advance the renewable power framework of the Tyson Research Center
Summary
What We Did
Using materials donated by a project through the Sam Fox School or Art and Architecture, we proposed a solar array and battery backup system design that can be incorporated into existing facilities. This Capstone project included:
- Use of industry-grade software to analyze system performance
- Design of system one-line diagrams in AutoCAD
- Communication with Tyson, EFS Energy, and WashU advisors to meet client needs while incorporating key concepts from the Electrical and Systems Engineering curriculum
