They did not need to use state-of-the-artcomponents and materials. On the contrary, they are limited to the most primitive means.Nevertheless, they still need to apply their engineering skills to solve demanding problems. Forexample, they had to build a bomb calorimeter to test the calorific value of the briquette. Theyalso need to develop a systematic way to find out the minimum pressure of making a usablebriquette.

Monitoring and quantifyingpower consumption enables engineers to notice problems with systems while in operation, andalso better plan future systems from the data gathered. As a result, power quality (PQ)measurement concepts are evolving from instantaneous metering to continuous monitoring andrecent developments in measurement technology make PQ monitoring systems more powerful.This equates to the construction and utilization of more flexible, compact and intelligent PQsystems.The goal of this project was to design, construct and test a monitoring system that is cost-effective, reliable and easily deployable in any environment.

Such an example is heating water usingconventional gas/electric water heaters or renewable energy such as solar power or geothermalpower. Currently, most widely used method to heat water is by burning fossil fuels. This is oftena large factor in determining the pollution caused by heating water for commercial or residentialuse. Despite the availability of renewable energy resources, the innovations that rely upon thesealternative sources are not viable due to their uncontrollable nature and economic factors.
