NEXUS Research Facility DesignDuring my time as a graduate research assistant at ASU I redesigned the PV system that provided electricity for our research facility. The previous system was not operating efficiently and was not up to NEC standards. I compiled a report of the previous system and all its errors and inefficiencies and a new report for the system redesign I proposed. The report includes the calculations for breaker and wire sizing, componet sizing and specifications, and a system schematic.

Grid Tied System DesignI designed this grid tied PV system during my first photovoltaics class at ASU my Junior year. For this project, I have chose to design a photovoltaic array that would provide electricity to my two bedroom one bath apartment located in Boone, North Carolina. Currently two college students and a large dog reside in the apartment using very little electricity. I contacted New River Light and power and discovered we only used 3,687 Kwh last year. I have selected a 4kW system to offset this load. The system requires 12, 24V, 335 watt PV modules that will feed electricity onto the grid to offset a fraction of our carbon footprint.

Battery Based System DesignThis was the first PV system I had ever designed, during my PV I class at ASU. This system was designed to provide enough energy for the two bedroom apartment I was living in at the time. Load calculations were performed to size the array and battery bank to fit the needs of two college boys and bull mastiff living in Boone NC.
