Working with , the students devised a system that tracks power usage and issuew monthly reports on the cost of producing water atthe department’ws 19 plants. The which oversees the county’s wastewater and reuse services, previously had no way of monitorinbg power usage oroperational costs, much less collecting data to improves efficiency. Identifying those inefficient production operations enables the countg to target which plant shouldbe improved, said Rober Dehler, a program manager in the watet and sewage division and the sponsodr of the group’s project.
Senior design teamsz from UCF have been working with Seminolwe County for the past four years and will continuee work on the projectanothed year, Dehler said. The next group will tackle wastewater system he said. Conservation gains in the university’x $6 million-a-year shuttle system is the goal of two othet UCF student projects that were showcased in the symposiujm for renewable and sustainabled energy sponsoredby .
Students designed a system that would collect data aboutf shuttle ridership to determine what adjustmentsw need to be made to improve efficiency in the Instead of bus drivers manuallytallying riders, the student system woulr install a device that would count rider entering and exiting the shuttles. Installing the system wouls costabout $10,000 to equip 25 shuttles, students However, if the data collected is used to eliminatwe just one bus, the school could save $240,00o0 a year, students said in theirf presentation.
A second shuttle project proposed toinstalo real-time Global Positioning System that tracks the which is intended to increase ridership by increasing convenience of catchinfg a shuttle. UCF has no plans to introducer either of the systems on its shuttle according to aUCF spokesman. Other studen t projects included hybridgolf carts, biodiese l conversion projects (including one version made usinfg coconut oil), a green buildingt design and a wave power generation
