WORK PLAN

The time frame allocated for this research study is 6 months. It start in july 2012 and completed in November 2012. The gantt chart for the project and miles stone are shown as table 1.

            In this project, the most difficulty  is to design and test the circuit because circuit need to be perfectly function. When construct the circuit will have some problem such as failure of components or module , lack of maintenance and system overload. So the knowledge about the circuit and component should be taken a long period to be done. Other than that, the difficulty that wills faces is environment factors (such as not enough photon energy from sunlight, didn’t have wind and etc.). To solve these kind of problems it should be referred to professional that familiar with the hybrid energy harvester prototype and also do troubleshoot by correcting the failure parts or system. This data is then analyzed, with many simplifying assumption applied. The result will be display by using DAQ and LABVIEW software.

The prototype of PV-TE hybrid system will be develop to enables the community to visualize the impact and application of the proposed methods in determining the best solution in PV-TE hybrid system design with respect to reliability and cost. This prototype will be presented in the FYP Presentation Day. we are also need to take a video as a demonstration when we are try the prototype in case there are something happens that will influence the process in that day.
