  • Using the Rotorwash of a Quadcopter Drone to Remove Dust from a Solar Panel

    Creator:
    Holman, Samantha K.
    Abstract:
    The electrical output of solar panels is reduced when dust covers the panels, but the air movement produced by a flying drone can be used to remove this debris. This research project will study the effectiveness of a quadcopter drone in dusting a solar panel. A solar panel was covered...

  • Design and Implementation of a Frequency Controlled Electric Hot Water Heater Retrofit Thermostat

    Creator:
    Johanesen, Mackenzie S.
    Abstract:
    This design of a Grid Friendly Electric Hot Water Heater Thermostat was built for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Design course, ECE44x. The design enables hot water heaters to respond to imbalances in the grid seen through deviations from standard grid frequency by varying the power output to the...
