-transient data, the function starts from time0 s, and positively increments while comparing individual values of Va, Vb, and Vc until the first positive zerocrossing is determined for each voltage. The times for each of these first crossings are saved. Because every cycle has256 data points, the end point for the sample is determined by adding 511 to the time index. The end times for eachvoltage are also saved. For the post-transient data, the function starts from the maximum time (end of the waveform), 4instead of the beginning of the waveform. Again, individual values are compared, this time while negativelyincrementing. Once the first crossing is determined, the end of the sample is found
, an axial fan in a warehouse setting, it could be easily fitted with a VFD, PLC, andMODBUS cable to better and more accurately control the functions of an HVAC system.To start take a VFD from the VFD-S 230V series, these are noted for the MODBUS compatibility, andconnected it to the fan's motor. The PLC of choice is a model 1790-T16-BV0X, made by AllenBradley, for input and output. This allows it to connect to the VFD and to a computer. The MODBUScable chosen is the 8777 Multi-Conductor - Shielded Twisted Pair Cable.With this understanding of both VFDs and PLCs, it can be seen how these two devices have come toplay an important role in the automation of building systems. And with improved controls of buildsystems, energy consumption can be

At present, there is no immediate plan to meetthis request on a large scale (e.g. change courses), but some minor changes towards this aim hasbeen undertaken within the present curriculum.After the first 5 courses and the bachelor thesis, the students are free to choose relatively freelyamong a number of courses in the field of energy and environmental engineering.

now, then it is going to be very difficult when each stateattempts to satisfy the energy needs through 100% natural renewable energy sources such assolar, wind and water.Interpretation of ResultsThe E3’s findings can offer some insight into the usefulness of rooftop PV in Pennsylvania.Assuming that Pennsylvania has a greater average sunlight than many other states, we canconclude that the results only encourage the use of rooftop PV in Pennsylvania. The small scaleinstallation threshold of 5000 KWh for California could be applied to small scale Pennsylvaniainstallations because of their comparable sun exposure. However, when considering the FederalITCs, both the contended conditions approach cost-effectiveness.ConclusionIt is undeniable that

, and a take-home activity; details for each are included below.Within a set of activities, the middle school students should be exposed to educational activitiesranging from basic comprehension to design and evaluation to reflecting on what they’ve learnedat home. The design team used Bloom’s Taxonomy7 as a guideline in this, and similar goalshave been set for other middle school engineering modules8. Kits developed to date include HeatTransfer, Chemical Energy, Electrical Energy, Solar Power, and Wind and Water Power.Instruction Manual: The instruction manual consists of a guide sheet, lesson plans, handouts,and assessment forms. The contents of the Instruction Manuals are available online so teacherscan browse and decide which kit(s) to use
