The general work planing is presented above. On last two weeks of February I finished the study of remaining technologies that will be needed for dissertation. Despite the planning presented above, it is expected that it could be some delays in some of the tasks and other ones could start early. This fact is because the planning is presented before the beginning of the internship.

 

 

System modelling started at the same time of the beggining of the internship at Bosch Termotecnologia SA. This task includes the include of electric tariffs, sensors and memory to control system (both FLC and NN) and the exhaustive testing and tuning of the control system. System modelling is expected to last five weeks.

System design will start in the moment that there are informations from system modelling and include coding and programming of microcontrollers, testing and tuning. This phase is expected to last seven weeks.

System result acquisition will start on the moment that interesting results are observed on the system design. In addition, during this phase the continuous operation of the heat pump will take place, during a large period of time and being expected to last 4 weeks.

Dissertation writing will take place in June and include the documentation of the system modelling, design and result acquisition.

Finally, the dissertation defence will take place in July and includes a previous period for corrections and advices and preparation of the public communication.
