surface drifters for near coastal application. Housing Electronics
Power System GPS receiver Radio transceiver Microcontroller Any of
these drifters within range of the base station will then be able
to send all the information from all other drifters, thus providing
a self-contained drifter network. Many such drifters are deployed
globally by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) as part of the world climate observation program. 3

- Power Systems Overview Low Power Consumption Each must be able
to operate on 3.3V maximum. The drifter network will be designed to
use the least amount of power when transmitting data The power
supply will be selected in order to supply the adequate amount of
amp-hours in order to provide enough current for each electrical
component to be operational throughout its 15 day deployment.

- Slide 24
- Power Systems Current Component Selection PROGRESS: Xbee
Operation Voltage: 3.0 -3.6VDC Current Draw: Transmitting current:
256mA Receiving Current: 50 mA Transmission Frequency: every 2.16
min @ 10000 GPS fixes GPS module Will be selected for low power
consumption and operate at a maximum of 3.3V. (Based on chart on
previous slide the current drawn from GPS is approximately 29mA)
Microcontroller Operation Voltage: 1.8V to 3.6V Active mode: 230uA
Standby Mode: 0.5uA 24
- Slide 25
- Power Systems Testing/ Verification The testing of this task
will include a number of power consumption tests. First, each
electrical component will be attached separately to a multimeter or
oscilloscope to validate that the component is operating within its
electrical specifications. Second, based on the results in the
previous step the results can be then used to tweak network
parameters such as transmission time or microprocessor algorithms
in an attempt to lower power consumption and increase theoretical
operation time. 25
- Slide 26
- Power Systems Time of Operation 15 days of operation = 360
hours of operation Required GPS fixes: 10,000 Number of Fixes in 15
days: GPS fix every 2.16 min or 129.9 sec FCC rule: The average
time of occupancy at any frequency must not be larger than 0.4
seconds when using the frequency hopping spread spectrum. Maximum
current drawn per transmission/reception of all electrical
components: Approximately 336mA 26
- Slide 27
- Power Systems Worst Case Scenario: 0.4 sec for each
transmission/reception 336 mA for 1.11 hours of ACTIVE operation
sleep mode considered negligible (uA range). 336 mA 1.11 hours =
372.96 mAh Battery needed would be something with 3.3 V and greater
than 372.96 mAh 27

- Power Systems Power supply considerations: (1)Lithium Ion
Lithium Manganese Nickel Lithium Polymer Nickel Cadmium (NiCad)
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Photovoltaics 29
- Slide 30
- Power Systems Lithium Ion Battery: These batteries are able to
handle excessive current applications. Lithium batteries are great
for long-term use. Lithium batteries also perform well in extreme
temperatures. Increased life cycles over Nickel cadmium (NiCad) and
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Lithium ion batteries are
also cheaper to manufacture than lithium polymer batteries, so when
cost is a factor, lithium ion is the choice. Much lower
self-discharge rate than Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Wide variety of shapes and sizes efficiently fitting the devices
they power. 30
- Slide 31
- Power Systems Ideal Battery Configuration Parallel
configuration would be ideal to increase the amount of Amp- Hours
to supply the adequate amount of current to Microcontroller, GPS
module and Radio Transceiver for a 15 day period. 31 EXAMPLE
- Slide 32
- Power Systems Voltage regulation If battery chosen has a
nominal voltage of more than 3.3 V, a voltage regulator will need
to be implemented to maximize battery life and supply the correct
operating voltage to the components. 32
- Slide 33
- Power Systems PCB protection Lithium Ion batteries must connect
to a protection circuit module to protect Li-Ion Battery from
overcharge, over discharge and to prevent accidental battery
explosion due to its extra high energy density. 33
