University of Derby, Solar panel testing

In this video, it shows the outside set up for the Solar panel (Photovoltaic cell) test for the DC-DC buck converter, with a display on the test meters.
Tested at the University of Derby, Markeaton Street Campus, MS130 ADT faculty on the 13th of April 2015.

The Multimeters are set at
1. Input current Meter 1 (M1) Ain set @10A
2. Input Voltage Meter 2 (M2) Vin set @200V

Power Electronics
Expertise lies in novel applications of IGBT and other devices, thermal modelling, and other simulation techniques. The processing of solar energy and motor vehicle electronics are important applications of this.
The final year students from the BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering, degree course (Power Electronics) - divided into teams - will take part in the design, build and construction of the DC-DC Converter circuit, then apply it to a team effort in a final testing of the circuit as shown, when applied to two dc motors, test frame and solar panel (photovoltaic cells) and shown to power them correctly.
This course is called Power Electronics, taught by Dr Amar Bousbaine at the University of Derby, ADT faculty.

Independent Engineering Project
The Independent Engineering Project is a major element of accredited engineering or technical degree. It provides the necessary evidence that you are technically competent and capable of entering the world of work as a professional engineer or technologist.
The aim is to develop your ability to work independently, on a chosen topic, using relevant technical research and design concepts, and analytical, test, measurement and evaluation techniques, in order to produce a finished artefact or product.
The Project is seen as an important element of your specialist programme. It provides you with a challenge to identify and undertake a detailed study and present a major piece of independent work.
It aims to develop your skills to work independently, researching a topic of your choice, in depth, using relevant concepts and techniques. The process is intended to allow you to develop skills relevant to a career in your chosen specialist area. It is expected that you will not only collect and analyse information, but exhibit other skills such as your ability to plan and sustain a significant piece of work, to manage interpersonal relationships and to identify and obtain the necessary resources.
This course is called Independent Engineering Project, taught by Dr Amar Bousbaine at the University of Derby, ADT faculty.
Independent Engineering Project supervisor: Dr Amar Bousbaine
