Abstract
In this project, a mobile, renewable, and versatile generation unit is designed. It utilizes solar and wind energy resources which make it usable in any location. The power source can effectively support emergency situations, such as hurricane, wildfire, earthquake, as well as special events such as remote training. It can provide at least 3.7kW to run multiple tools used during search and rescue situations. Specifically, the unit has seven 5-VDC 2-A DC/USB outlets, two AC 120-V 15-A outlets, and four 6-W LED lights which serve diverse equipment and devices. Its battery system could potentially run on its own for 12 hours when supplying 1kW. The unit is housed in a normally-sized trailer with the total weight of around 10,000 lbs. It is very versatile as it can be towed by any popular truck to diverse locations. Simulation has shown that the unit works properly and all design expectations have been met. The use of this green power source will help save lives while keeping our air clean
在这个项目中,设计了一个可移动的、可再生的、多功能的发电机组。它利用太阳能和风能资源,使其在任何地方都可以使用。该电源可以有效支持飓风、野火、地震等紧急情况,以及远程培训等特殊事件。它可以提供至少3.7千瓦来运行搜索和救援情况下使用的多种工具。具体来说,该装置有7个5-VDC 2-A DC/USB插座,2个交流120-V 15-A插座,以及4个6-W LED灯,可用于各种设备和设备。它的电池系统在提供1kW电力的情况下可以独立运行12小时。该装置被安置在一个正常大小的拖车,总重量约10,000磅。它是非常通用的,因为它可以被任何流行的卡车拖到不同的地点。仿真结果表明,该装置工作正常,达到了设计要求。使用这种绿色能源将有助于拯救生命,同时保持我们的空气清洁
