DATA ANALYSIS
OUR SYSTEM
At the wake of natural disasters, thousands of people are left without power and electrical infrastructure; communities currently lack portable power during emergencies.

Guidelines
Our differentiator?
Solar-generated electricity can be stored and discharged without the need for fuel deliveries, unlike conventional diesel generators that contribute to CO2 emissions. Current generators are less mobile, demand high energy consumption, don’t protect against adverse weather/environmental conditions, and are not as accessible as our cart.

Design Safety�1. To ensure that the battery will function efficiently in extreme weather conditions, we have created a battery insulated box made from plywood, sealant, and insulation foam. This is box is waterproof to ensure that the inverter stays dry.
2. Wires and cables are insulated to mitigate electrocution risk.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to thank Professor Scott Moura and our GSI extraordinaire Dylan Kato for their efforts and dedication to CE186 and the solar microgrid team.
Our data analysis is focused on (1) battery capacity with different devices, (2) solar power and prediction, and
(3) temperature data. Below are images of the website for the user to track the data associated with their microgrid.
