Overview
Simulations allow analysis of complex systems on a small-scale. They are carried out to gain insight into complex systems, such as traffic prediction, biological synthesis, and robotic systems.Designing a system such that it allocates its energy and resources sustainably, allows resources to be available for other purposes.
The main objective of this project was to design and simulate a renewable energy system to tackle a daily-life setting where wasted energy is being used to power a system that consumes alot of energy.
The renewable energy system is made up of 3 subsystems, one for energy generation, one for energy storage and one for energy consumption.
The system designed in this project utilizes energy generated in a gym to power a washing machine and a dryer. Washing machines draw most amount of electrical energy in any home and energy generated during a workout can be used to power these machines. Hence, allowing the saved electrical energy to be utilized for other purposes.
The proposed systems are shown below. The modelling and simulation processes are included in the attached report.
