Low Cost Cogeneration System Controller Development. Final Report May 1988-July 1989

摘要

Work performed included market research and software and hardware development. The objective of the project was to develop a relatively low cost electronic controller for small, packaged cogeneration systems that would have sophisticated features of larger controller and energy management systems. Market research revealed that availability of a sophisticated, low cost controller would not significantly effect system marketability. Research was directed towards developing a subset of the original controller that would be more useful to the industry in the short term. Technical marketing, hardware and software development proceeded until it was decided that the emerging product, a 'smart' energy transducer, would have broad industrial applicability, but bring the contractor far afield of its present business.
