OBJECTIVE
The purpose of selecting this project was not just to put into action all of the knowledge achieved through the four years or more of hard work and dedication to the electrical engineering field, but to come together as a group of electrical engineers to solve an immense problem for an impoverished community located in Johannesburg, South Africa who's answers to the problem seem for them impossible to find due to cost and lack of knowledge in the power system and power electronics field.
Amandla Aluhlaza group's main goal was to come up with a design that would help find a solution to their energy crisis. Amandla Aluhlaza consist of a design that transfers the energy acquired from renewable (Solar and Wind) sources to a storage unit, which the people in Johannesburg will have access to for a couple of hours every day so that they can charge their cell phones and other personal electrical devices. In addition the system is capable of delivering enough energy to power up a computer, a projector screen, and a stereo system that will be used with the main goal of educating and entertaining the people who have never had access to this type of technology.
Overall this sophisticated design which was described and researched in this report, was based on organized procedures, data analysis and meticulous calculations that lead to the right and most efficient solutions, by which group "Amandla Aluhlaza" worked together to find the most practical and robust design for the specified conditions. For a better understanding of this project, additional information is provided in the documentation tab. It is encouraged that the design section of the research document is read to provide a better understanding of the technical aspects and parameters of this system.
