PV DATA GATHERED

Hello, here is the data of the photovoltaic panel found Sept. 23 in Italy. Us
expect to see data from other locations to begin the first comparisons. Hello and good luck to all, Fabio and Stefano

first results from France

Hi everybody,

I didn't have time to group together and to analyze all our measures of June but here is a part of our results ... these are our recordings from June 23rd afternoon to July 1st morning.


We recorded a data (V and P) every 30 minutes and then used the software Datastudio to calculate 2*A*V and show this graph. Orientation : S, tilt 20°.
I will try to put our data in a table in a shared googledocument that every school can fill in.
We will stop the recording tomorrow because our school will close from the 8 of July to the last week of August.
Have a nice summer and happy holidays,
Emilie and all the french team

PV DATA GATHERED

Hi everybody,

dear colleagues, here are the first data collected from the photovoltaic panel with Genitrini's circuit. Thath day the weather was perfectly clear. The data were collected with multimeters that you have seen in Italy during the last meeting.

Happy holydays.

WEB Site

some days ago lucy wrote:

Susanne and I were a bit surprised to learn that we will not be making a website for dissemination of our results as planned in our application. We can get some pupils to construct a website on which we could all place links and data ( for example, photos of tours of various sites, data from the turbines and solar panels, with comparative graphs summarising the information from the different schools, links to videos on youtube, etc). this would be a ‘click on’ map of Europe with a page for each of the sites visited.   We would pay for the hosting of the website out of Comenius funds. As I said, we will try to get some pupils to set this up in June, so it will not involve any extra work for any of your schools, simply a transfer of files to the site…

We hope you agree that this should be done in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.  We have also said in the application that there will be a Moodle course on renewable energy , is this going ahead or not?  I know that we  don’t have to do everything we planned but we must do some of it and the website would be a lovely visual resource which could be accessed via each school’s website and via the Socrates/Comenius website…"

It's an important question, I would like explain the situation:

1 - In Germany we agreed that Emilie and Susanne had to talk about the way to build a web site; during the meeting in Italy Emilie said that there were not contacts about this point between them.

2 - Rosemary and Karen did'nt tell us anything about the planned website in Scotland

after these considerations, and considering time and the activities to do: 

3 - Everybody agreed that the blog seems to be a good instrument and with youtube could be enought for "contractual obligations"

4 - at the end we recognized that every school could create some pages in the school website (if possible) and Blog will be linked with them.

Of course we can change, but, in my opinion we could concentrate on the results and the activities about the energy; of course we can collaborate with a scottish site with materials and photos ....

Two new videos

Two new videos on youtube channel: the meeting in Badia and the french one (finally pubblic)

electric circuit for the solarpanel

Hello everybody,
after our VERY NICE meeting in Badia, we had to solve the problem of measuring the power produced by the solar panel (which can maximal be 20 W). Its tension can rise until 20 V and our datalogger Xplorer GLX cannot measure beyond 10V.
Marie finally bought two resistances (10 Ohms, 25 Watts) that we put in series like this :

This way, V stays always under 10V and the currentintensity stays under 1 A, so our GLX stay happy !!!
And we get P by mulitplying 2 x volts x amperes.
If you want to see the result ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M65fpljiXk
à bientôt,

Emilie

Meeting in Badia 18th - 22nd may 2011

A BIG THANKS TO ALL GUESTS THAT MADE THE MEETING VERY..... SOLAR
