    EC7080 Project Progress Form

    Section 1: Project details

    Project Name DESIGNING A POWER ELECTRONIC CONVERTER FOR OPTIMAL SEA


    WAVE ENERGY HARVESTING

    Arampath K.G.S.B. 2019/E/008


    Team Member and E-
    Number
    Medagedara M.I.R. 2019/E/078

    Principal Supervisor Prof. T.Thiruvaran, (Eng. R.Valluvan)

    Associate Supervisors Eng. R. Valluvan, Eng. S. Sangar

    Section 2: Project Objectives and Timelines

    • Please list your objectives for the projects in bullet points.

    ➢ Designing a power electronic converter for optimal sea wave energy harvesting
    while considering oscillating water columns.
    ➢ Design a prototype (scale down) version circuit and simulate it using accurate
    software.
    ➢ Scaling down the devices for modularity.
    ➢ Finding a 100% electronic solution without mechanical voltage stabilization.
    ➢ Eliminating / Reducing voltage fluctuations
    • Detailed Project Timeline for this Semester.

    Section 3: Bi-weekly Project Progress

    • Please list your current bi-weekly tasks in bullet points and note the extent to which
    you have achieved them. (Indicate the % of completion)

    ➢ Regulator Circuit errors were fixed (100%)


    ➢ Finalized the Inverter circuit (100%)
    ➢ Finalized the simulation of the full circuit (90%)
    ➢ Finlazed the full circuit schematic (100%)
    ➢ Designed the Schematic using Altium Designer (90%)
    • Please list any other achievements /improvements not listed in the previous plans.
    (Optional)

    ➢ Designed the PCB layout using Altium Designer (85%)

    • Please list any knowledge or skills you have obtained during the last two weeks.
    (Optional)

    PCB Schematic design using Altium Designer


    PCB Layout Designing Basics using Altium Designer

    • Indicate any challenges you faced to achieve your targets. Please indicate the
    plans to overcome those challenges. (Optional)

    • We struggled to learn Altium Designer because its learning curve is very high.
    • Symbols and footprints for some components were not availble in the Altium itself-
    We managed to get those from the SnapEDA website.
    • Choosing a proper input method to emulate wave behaviors to the circuit was
    challenging.
    • Debugging simulation errors in proteus and Modelsim
    Section 4: Supervisor Meeting

    • Indicate the Date you met your supervisors (Including associate supervisors).
    (Minimum two meetings should be done.)
