On the study of WEC prototype advancement with consideration of real-time life extending control

Creator:: Stillinger, Chad J.
Abstract:: Renewable energy is a topic of significant interest and importance in the world today. Ocean wave energy, particularly in areas such as the Oregon Coast, has considerable potential as a renewable resource. However, to rightly evaluate the overall cost of energy for wave energy converters, survivability and maintenance issues must...

A methodology to reduce the strain on hydro turbines using advanced life extending control of multiple energy storage systems

Creator:: Brosig, Sean G.
Abstract:: Over the last 20 years, there has been rapid growth in the amount of installed wind power in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in the Columbia River Gorge. The variable and non-dispatchable nature of this resource requires that it be balanced in some form by other sources on the grid. In...

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

Creator:: Stark, William D.
Abstract:: The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

Evaluating the seismic risk and resilience of an electrical power system

Creator:: Chalishazar, Vishvas H.
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest is part of the "Ring of Fire," which is well-known for heavy seismic activity. Numerous active faults in the area have encouraged electric grid managers in the region to more deeply contemplate and proactively intervene to support grid resilience. This research introduces Monte Carlo (MC) based power...

Residential load simulation and applied load management strategies

Creator:: McArthur, Shaun
Abstract:: This work presents a residential load simulation framework that allows the user to test the effectiveness of peak reduction, peak shifting, and valley filling load management strategies on a representative residential load prior to physical smart sensor and load control deployment. The simulation methodology uses household occupancy, appliance time-of-use, and...

Design and Simulation of Nonlinear Control Strategies for Heaving Point Wave Energy Converters in WEC-Sim

Creator:: Glennon, David N.
Abstract:: As the sources of our electricity shift from centralized and carbon emitting, to a portfolio of distributed, clean-energy sources, the wave energy converter (WEC) has become a topic of exploration and development for providing coastal communities electric power. Part of this trend has included an effort to create open source...

Methods for short-term prediction of wind speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge wind farm region

Creator:: Davidson, James D.
Abstract:: Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...

Development and Experimental Hardware Validation of Novel Variable Speed Hydropower Control Schemes for Emerging Applications and Water Resource Paradigms

Creator:: Starrett, Michael A.
Abstract:: Recent opportunities for new hydropower generation in the United States have often been in non-powered dams and run-of-river type flows occurring in low-impact natural areas and unregulated conduits. At the same time, a changing water resource paradigm is challenging some existing generation in drought stricken areas where supply reservoirs behind...

Methods for evaluating the impact of renewable resource variability on grid operation and planning

Creator:: Halamay, Douglas A.
Abstract:: With the recent interest in increasing the penetration of renewable energy sources onto the power grid, there has been an unprecedented rapid deployment of wind generation, especially in the US Pacific Northwest. While wind farm developers have continued to expand their operations, power system operators are left to deal with...
