A high power emulation of a wind farm

Creator:

Lalla, Chelsea

Abstract:

As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

Masters Thesis
A force control algorithm for a wave energy linear test bed

Creator:

Henshaw, Nathan R.

Abstract:

Researchers at Oregon State University, focusing on the development of ocean wave energy converters, have designed and installed a unique linear test bed to aid in the characterization of these converters. Under the original control scheme, the linear test bed follows a position profile and is limited in its ability...

Masters Thesis
Analysis and optimal sizing of an energy storage system for wind farm applications

Creator:

Yen, Zuan Z.

Abstract:

Modern wind energy is the technology of choice with a short payback period for increasing renewable energy portfolios. Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a United States power authority in the Pacific Northwest expects to increase their wind energy capacity from 2,000 megawatts to 6,000 megawatts within the next five years. Currently...

Masters Thesis
Development of biomimetic control strategies for the optimal use of renewable sources and energy storage systems

Creator:

Hapke, Hannes Max

Abstract:

In the year 2007, the worldwide energy consumption accumulated to a total of 16.5 billion MWh. While the resources of conventional energy production cause environmental damage, renewable energy sources like solar or wind power offer a solution to substitute for coal or nuclear generated power. Countries like Denmark and Spain...

Masters Thesis
A novel linear generator for wave energy applications

Creator:

Ernst, Steven George

Abstract:

With the increasing effort to identify alternative methods of energy generation, extraction of ocean energy has gathered a large interest. Research and industry have begun considering wave energy as the next new alternative energy. The unique challenges of ocean energy requires a wave energy converter to be both robust and...

Masters Thesis
A novel control design for a wave energy converter

Creator:

Schacher, Alphonse A.

Abstract:

Ocean wave energy is rapidly becoming a field of great interest in the world of renewable energy. Significant advancements in design and technology are being made to make wave energy a viable alternative for our growing energy demands. The two major hurdles for ocean wave energy to make a significant...

Masters Thesis
Novel control of a permanent magnet linear generator for ocean wave energy applications

Creator:

VanderMeulen, Aaron H.

Abstract:

Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) for ocean wave energy conversion is pulsed. Focusing on direct drive...

Resource Type:

Masters Thesis
A linear test bed for characterizing the performance of ocean wave energy converters

Creator:

Hogan, Peter M.

Abstract:

Determining the performance characteristics of various ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) has proven to be difficult due to problems replicating a baseline motion profile in the ocean or wave tank to compare these devices. The linear test bed seeks to mechanically simulate the relative linear motion between the active components...
