We're looking to build a DC migrogrid at CCCamp19.
Gear we have built so far
Name
- Forty Eight Grid
- Team Forty Eight
List of recommended devices
- Soldering Irons
- TS100 [1]
- Lab PSU
- DIY PSU using DPS30xx or DPS50xx modules
- Battery Chargers
- IMAX B6 Charger works for LiPo and Pb batteries
- Laptop chargers
- Networking Hardware
- Switches
- WiFi APs
Power Out Boxes
48V-> 24/12/5V
- DC sockets
- Car sockets
- USB
- Switches + Fuses
- What kind of fuse?
- Volt/Amp Measurment - "Battery computer" -> Stats via LoRaWAN?
USB Charging Station
I have two 48V->5V DCDC converters (Product page, datasheet), which we could used tu build USB charging stations for powerbanks etc.
Power In Boxes
12/24V -> 48V
- Schottky Diode
- Fuse / Currentlimiting
- Batterymonitor / Datalogging -> LoRaWAN?
- Auto-Disable with Under/Overvoltage
Battery Computers
