Problem Definition
On this days, we see how technology keeps on advancing. Photovoltaic systems and Eolic generators among others are without a doubt the most recent and important technological advances. In fact, photovoltaic systems are an inexhaustible and completely renewable energy resource, as well eolic generators. The systems are in constant evolution to give its best performance and comply with the buyers demands. In Puerto Rico, the companies who distribute these systems have seen a significant growth on their sales. New Energy is a known company in Puerto Rico working with the distribution and installation of these systems. Therefore, after meeting with the leaders of the company, a concern and their vision were seen. Puerto Rico consists of an excellent climate for these types of systems, but as is known, these systems are very efficient but could be more efficient and intelligent. It is the moment for these systems to evolve.
Our Capstone project first will consist of creating an automatized renewable system for New Energy Company. The system will be created with intelligent capacities to be the most efficient. It will have the capacity to select how to distribute energy on residences or business based on the critic and noncritical loads. Moreover, it will have different options on how to distribute the stored energy on the battery bank. This will be created to maintain a reasonable level at the bank. In addition, it will have an option to optimize consumption which will be automatically selected the moment which Puerto Rico is under surveillance of any atmospheric or climate alert due to the geographical location of the island. As well, it will have a safety option to protect our system design. The system will be supervised and controlled under a web page or cell phone app. In particular, it will have an emergency guard with “PREPA”, to cover any failure in our system. Above all, is a secure way of avoiding any type of energy loss in a house or business.
