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
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
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...
