Projects

Microgrid Transactive Energy Smart Contract

Open Source

The beginning of a blockchain application to pave the way for Transactive Energy at Brazilian micro/mini-grids. The outcome of the master's thesis. Check out the project page.

EnergyPlus Shadow

Open Source

Software to identify building shades surrounding a target roof during a year cycle. It borrows the codes from EnergyPlus and uses pandas to analyze a huge amount of data. The outcome of a solar power potential study for the Rio de Janeiro city. Although the development has been paused for a while, contributions are welcome at the project repo.

Relais de surintensité avec LabVIEW

Unpublished

A didactic software with several features, such as multilanguage platform (Portuguese, French and English), usability for specific technical configurations, and the option to generate a report in PDF of the short circuit test. A step back on software documentation learning curve but a great start on software development. A memory of this milestone is available in the CÉGEP-TR newsletter (p.19).
