Primary Tasks |
Percent Complete% |
|
Identify necessary electrical components and circuitry to allow for the device to receive a power line signal and dim an incandescent lamp |
100% |
|
Obtain commercially available components and build initial prototype device |
100% |
|
Conduct testing to determine the electrical and thermal operating parameters of a typical incandescent lamp socket and fixture |
100% |
|
Develop an apparatus to simulate these conditions in a laboratory setting |
0% |
|
Test the components developed in task 1 under these conditions to ensure that the prototype device will be able to operate successfully over prolonged exposure to these conditions |
100% |
|
Develop a prototype-miniaturized version of the snap-in, incandescent load-shed device |
50% |
|
Conduct bench-top, laboratory testing of the final prototype device to demonstrate its ability to provide the load-shedding capacity necessary on-demand in response to a power line signal, under a variety of conditions and load-shed scenarios |
