Skystream turbine is designed for “gridconnect and expects to see 120VRMS AC line-to-neutral on at least one of its lines beforeit will close its internal contacts. In other words, the Skystream will not deliver anypower without a viable AC line connection. We provide a virtual “grid through theinverter. Once the virtual “grid is seen by the turbine and under wind speed conditionsexceeding the cut-in speed, the turbine will begin to rotate and supply power through the2 National Electrical Code (NEC) 2008 Proceedings of the 2010 ASEE North Midwest Sectional Conferenceinverter/charger to the battery system. As in configuration A, this configurationincorporates a battery charge controller in parallel with the battery pack and a

It is typically taken during fall or spring semester of the freshman year andis usually the first or second course the student takes in the engineering department.

At the same time, team tests work because thestudents come to he ac e a ed a d a ed, e ca e a e he ecomponent of team tests.The original versions of team testing at MSU made the team test voluntary and offered extracredit for participating. In our experience, offering just 5% bonus credit on the individual examcauses an overwhelming fraction of students to remain for the team-test. The bonus points offer atangible reward to the students, countering the stress that comes with exams and grades, whileproviding
