Eur0lite HaloGen BuLb

OBJECTIVE

  • To create a fake solar
  • To understand more about halogen bulb
  • To assemble components

METHOD
  • Find a component that can replace solar and bulid it to look like a sun.
  • The bulk connected in parallel and series (2bulk in one line) and it must be straight to PV for the heat can be transmit directly.
  • The output from PV in connected with DC wire for easier to measure voltage and current.
  • Lastly, after done completing all the components, the module can be use  to do further experiments.

CONCLUSION

This week, I have build a fake solar for replacing the sun as the main energy in my project. After discussing with my supervisor, I use halogen bulk since it can produce high temperature (50 watt) that almost similar to the sun. I use bulk because my supervisor want me produce continuously output and if I use the sun, the output cannot be continuously since there will a lot of factor that will block the sun from emit the PV like cloud. By this, I can move to the next step to do some experiment with the complete PV module.

tensting...testing....testing....

OBJECTIVE

  • To study the performance of solar and thermoelectric
  • To understand the operation of solar and thermoelectric

METHOD

  1. Firstly, I check the solar and thermoelectric to measure their capacity 
  2. Then, I measured the solar and record the readings
  3. Next, I measured the thermoelectric and record the readings

RESULT



** This is the only picture i can put since I forget to capture at measurement time**


CONCLUSION

This experiment is for testing the performance of the photovoltaic and thermoelectric. By this experiment, i know the voltage and ampere from PV-TE at Unikl BMI. From the experimrnt, i can conclude that the voltage is in range 4v to 6v meanwhile ampere is in range 0.2mA to 4mA. My supervisor say that in Malaysia, the voltage and ampere will not high because of the cloud that block the sun from going straight to the photovoltaic and thermoelectric that mean the PV-TE will get more heat than sunlight.

LABVIEW

OBJECTIVE

  • To study about the LabView student edition Fall 2009
  • To understand more about the LabView student edition Fall 2009


METHOD

  1. Install on the computer
  2. Try run the LabVIEW


RESULT





LabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a system design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments.
The graphical language is named "G" (not to be confused with G-code). Originally released for the Apple Macintosh in 1986, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms including Microsoft Windows, various versions of UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X. The latest version of LabVIEW is LabVIEW 2012, released in August 2012.
In this project, I use LabVIEW student edition Fall 2009 but it is unstable. So I have to download some certain software. There are two example for the software http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/1542/lang/en or http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/lang/en/id/1555. The biggest problem with this software that is when I went to use the Student edition I have of LabVIEW 2009, I could not locate the DAQ Assistant. So I have to download http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2034/lang/en and now, I am still learning it.

The LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite consists of the following National Instruments software:
  • LabVIEW Student Edition for Windows 7/Vista/XP 
  • LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module 
  • LabVIEW MathScript RT Module 
  • LabVIEW Digital Filter Design Toolkit 
  • LabVIEW Modulation Toolkit 
  • LabVIEW System Identification Toolkit 
  • LabVIEW SignalExpress 
  • NI Vision Development Module 
  • NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (AI) 
  • NI Vision Acquisition Software

Benefits of Using LabVIEW:

1. Program the Way You Think—Visually
The graphical nature of LabVIEW makes it easier to develop working code faster. With LabVIEW, quickly drag and drop built-in functions to simplify acquisition, analysis, control, and data sharing so you can spend less time on syntax errors and more time on creating your application.
2. Easily Connect to Hardware and Other Applications
LabVIEW easily connects to any device—be it hardware or outside applications like Microsoft Excel. You can depend on this seamless development experience as you write your program.
3. Bring Your Design Vision to Life
From inexpensive medical devices to complex underwater autonomous vehicles, students are engineering a better world using LabVIEW. 

How to install NI:
http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13413/en 
***(this some example to install the NI even it not same with the LabView student edition Fall 2009)

CONCLUSION

This LabView is a software that connected to hardware. By using this LabVIEW, the performance of electrical propertiesa can be measured. The performance being measured in graf.
