Project Statement

Currently, the ISU Electric Power Research Center has been conducting research on turning shipping containers into deployable power stations for disaster relief. For our project, we are creating a mobile application in order to retrieve data from this crate and present it to the user. Users will be able to see a live data feed from the crate, as well as query previously collected data to look at the performance of the crate and trends in the data.

Description

Our solution approach can be broken done into 4 main modules or components: The database, backend server, frontend mobile application, and data aggregator. For the database we plan to use MySQL and store each datapoint from the crate by timestamp. The backend server and frontend mobile application work together to gather and display data to the user. The mobile application uses HTTP request to query for data to display or creates a websocket connection to get real time data to display. The data aggregator reads in data from the different instruments of the crate and joins the data together to create a set of data for each timestamp, and then adds this data to the database.
