Introduction:

This document describes and serves as a template for preparation of a Project Readiness Package. The objective of the Project Readiness Package is to document customer needs and expectations, project deliverables (including time frame), budget, and personnel / organizations affiliated with the project. It will serve as the primary source of information for students necessary during the Planning phase to develop a SD I plan and schedule including specific deliverables and due dates. The Project Readiness Package will also support Faculty evaluation of project suitability in terms of depth, scope, and student / faculty resources by discipline.

In this document, italicized text provides explanatory information regarding the desired content of the sections indicated by non-italicized, bold, capitalized headings. If a particular aspect of a section is not applicable for a given project, it is only necessary to indicate that by entering N/A (not applicable).

Detailed Project Description:

• Customer needs:

Proof-of-concept auxiliary Power-Density Energy Systems (PES) utilizing the best practice and available hardware solutions in order to guarantee:

1. Highly efficient and effective energy conversion and distribution (minimal losses, efficient charging and discharging, maximum reliability, etc.);

2. Energy generation from clean and sustainable alternative energy generation systems (solar cells, super-high-power-density AC permanent-magnet generators and MEMS devices);

3. Effective charging and discharging in the expanded operating envelope (peak power, energy, duty cycle, loads, etc.);

4. Portability, stealth, safety, robustness, reliability, minimum weight, reduced size, etc.

The following review current research:

           

•

• Customer deliverables (Customer requested milestones, progress reports, and expected product):

As per Senior Design Deliverables. Proof-of-concept Energy Harvesting Systems for Communication Systems

• Customer and Sponsor Involvement (Describe role of customer and sponsor in the project, planned participation in design and project reviews, etc.):

Hardware components, documentation, specifications and requirements, supervision

• Regulatory requirements (i.e. UL, IEEE, FDA, FCC, RIT):

Federal DoD regulations

• Project Budget and Special Procurement Processes (Provide all budget details and processes associated with expenditures):

$ 500 for components, materials, parts, etc.

• Intellectual property (IP) considerations (Describe any IP concerns or limitations associated with the project):

Open source design.

• Other (Describe potential benefits and liabilities, known project risks, etc.):

None.

Detailed Course Deliverables:

From the Course Deliverables document, extract general and discipline specific deliverables that are appropriate to the project. This should provide clear guidance to the students on what it expected.

The aforementioned highly-integrated PES comprised from the following major components:

1. Energy sources (solar cells, AC generator or MEMS devices);

2. Energy storage (battery or super capacitors);

3. Energy management system with matching power electronics and ICs (charger, filters, microcontrollers, etc.);

4. Data acquisition system.

The proposed highly-integrated PES will minimize the heat signature, guarantee maximum operating time, reduce electromagnetic interference, achieve maximum battery autonomy, allow design flexibility for different Harris product, lead to proof-of-concept open-architecture test-beds.

The major estimated requirements are reported below (subject of changes):

1. Power – 5 W (rated) and 10 W (peak);

2. Voltage –  5 V (rated) and 5 V (peak);

3. Voltage stabilization (accuracy): ±0.1 % (for rated load);

4. Current – 2 A (peak) and 1 A (rated);

5. Average duty cycle: steps, 50%

6. Efficiency: Energy generation (electric – 50%, solar – 20%); Energy storage – 70%; Charging and discharging – 75% and 75%.

7. Operating temperature: –500C to 700C.

Preliminary Work Breakdown:

Describe the anticipated distribution of general tasks to be accomplished by project participants based on perceived skill set requirements. This should justify the requested skills and number of students from each discipline. 

Breakdown to the team:

1. Energy transducer;

2. Energy sources (solar cells, AC generator or MEMS devices);

3. Energy storage (battery or super capacitors);

4. Energy management system with matching power electronics and ICs (charger, filters, microcontrollers, etc.);

5. Data acquisition system;

6. System Integration

Grading and Assessment Scheme:

Describe how the grading rubric relates to expectations and deliverables. The impact of project enhancements and improvements from baseline should be clearly articulated.

As per Senior Design Deliverables.

Three Week SDI Schedule:

List expected activities in the first three weeks. Highlight any project specific activities that may not be part of the generic course syllabus (e.g. customer visits).

As per Senior Design Deliverables. The first week, would be meeting with Guide and Harris representative, as appropriate. Review IEEE and MIT papers referenced in this document. Team members start to break down the subsystems and partition initial investigation. Week 2 is defining Customer Spec’s and continue with above. Week 3 a block diagram and assignment of specifications, concept development and feasibility assessment. .
