We would like to make additional thanks to Dr Samuel Richie for helping advise us as to the best course of action on some of the more electrical engineering heavy portions of our project. His advice was paramount in our success with major portions of our buck converter due to the high level requirements to design and implement such a component given the power levels the project demanded. We would like to make additional thanks to Zaza Soriano who was the groups mentor. She helped counsel the group on how to proceed in moments of crisis, as well as giving excellent feed back on project documentation. Finally we would like to thank Duke Energy for their generous financial contribution, without which this project would not have been possible.
