Show moreThe photovoltaic/hydrogen hybrid energy system IPRO was started eight years ago. A group of students with their faculty advisor began a semester to investigate the use of solar energy to power an electric sign. Since that time, a significant amount of progress has been made. The project progressed from the design phase to the laboratory phase. Once functioning, it was transferred to the roof of the Co-Gen plant on the IIT main campus. During this phase of the project, Phase I, a photovoltaic system was set up that included several solar panels on the roof. Also, a large LED sign was installed on the roof. An array of power management devices were set up at the project site inside the Co-Gen plant. Phase II of the project was planned in order to incorporate an electrolyzer and fuel cell as an energy back up system in conjunction with the PV system. Although these components exist at the work site, they are not integrated into the complete system and are merely there to demonstrate using hydrogen to power an electric load.

Show moreHybrid electric vehicles (HEV) combine the internal combustion engine (ICE) of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle. Hybrid electric propulsion, currently available in a limited selection of automobiles, improves fuel economy while enhancing torque at low speeds. Onboard computers control the utilization of the ICE and electric motor, by selecting one or both power sources to drive the vehicle. A battery delivers power to the electric motor and is recharged by a generator driven by the ICE and by regenerative braking. This IPRO will seek to obtain similar benefits for a bicycle equipped with an electric motor and rechargeable battery by substituting the cyclist in the place of the hybrid electrics ICE. Regenerative braking and downhill pedaling will be investigated to recharge the battery. The course will likely involve at least one semester for requirements gathering, a feasibility study, and a computer simulation demonstrating the findings. Subsequent semesters will be engaged in the fabrication of a prototype. Mechanical engineers will work through motor and drive gear placement as well as other logistics. Chemical engineers will assess battery technologies to maximize power and ability to recharge. Biomedical engineers will study and design the man machine interface. Electrical engineers will assess power requirements of the motor and determine generator size needed. Computer engineers are needed to determine all control requirements and develop algorithms to satisfy them. Computer scientists are needed for programming and debugging.
