CWRUbotix: Technical Report
No full textThis 25-page report, published by Case Western Reserve University, describes the design and construction of the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) created by the CWRUbotix team for the Explorer Class of the 2023 MATE ROV competition. MATE ROV is a global competition that challenges STEM students to build underwater ROVs to complete challenges. The competition is split into the following classes based on build complexity: Explorer, Ranger, Pioneer, Navigator, and Scout.The report begins with an abstract introducing CWRUbotix and their ROV. Following the abstract, the report discusses aspects of safety and project management. Then the report provides an analysis of the construction of the team's ROV, including mechanical design (frame, fry cage, etc.), electrical design (power conversion and distribution, electrics bay, etc.), and software design (software architecture, surface computer, etc.). A systems integration diagram (SID) and the following appendices are included: Safety Checklists, Mission Layout and Planning, Budget, Gantt Chart, Acknowledgements, and References.Manuals for each class and technical documentation from other teams are available to view separately

Synchronous Condensers (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first part of a two part lecture on synchronous condensers. Throughout the lecture, presenter Jim Pytel walks viewers through scenarios that demonstrate the function and capabilities of synchronous condensers. The lecture explores topics such as the effect how the underexcitation of a rotor causes a synchronous condenser to consume positive power, how the overexcitation of a rotor causes a synchronous condenser to supply negative reactive power, and how "managing field current a synchronous condenser can power factor correct a larger 3 phase AC system." In this part, Pytel discusses the contents of the lecture, introduces synchronous condensers, and begins illustrating a synchronous condenser scenario.This video runs 11:31 minutes in length. The second part of the lecture is available to view separatel
Avoiding Electric Panel and Service Upgrades in Home Decarbonization
No full textThis video from the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) National Center is part of the center's 2023 Annual Institute. In the video, Iain Walker explores home decarbonization and the importance of avoiding electric panel and service upgrade costs. Walker explores the importance of home retrofitting instead of new construction, costs associated with panel upgrades, potential solutions for upgrading electric panels, new products, and more aspects of electric panel and service upgrades with decarbonization in mind. The video recording runs 33:18 minutes in length
