  • Extended Kalman Filter Simulink Model for Nonlinear System Modeling

    Creator:
    So, Ratanak
    Abstract:
    The objective of the work presented herein is the development of the extended Kalman filter for nonlinear system modeling. A standard Kalman filter is a well-known filter for estimating the state of a system, assuming the system is linear and it has a Gaussian distribution in its noise. In reality,...

  • Development of an Integrated Generator Power Take-of Strategy using Model Predictive Control (MPC) for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion

    Creator:
    Sundaram, Srinivasan Subhash
    Abstract:
    Model Predictive Control (MPC) has previously been investigated on ocean waveenergy converters (WEC) to improve the amount of power captured, while respectingthe system constraints. Previous research done in the same area, focused onbuilding a control scheme by using the knowledge of the past & current statesof the system and predicting...

  • Zonal Resource Adequacy for Voltage Control

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    In a power system, operators maintain voltage stability through adequate reactive reserves. Maintaining and accessing an efficient allocation of reactive reserves is prohibitively complex because of reactive line losses, the variety of reactive resources, and either limited or variable reactive outputs from renewable sources. By clustering the system into smaller...

  • Methodology for evaluating mechanical power in small-scale WEC experiments

    Creator:
    Simmons, Asher
    Abstract:
    Wave energy converters (WECs) are a broad class of emerging technology that converts hydrokinetic energy into some other useful form, such as electricity. The last stage in this transformation, the power take-off (PTO) subsystem, is often not experimentally evaluated until half-way through the recommended development process. This delay in evaluation...

  • Validation of Wave Energy Converter Models and the Development of Control Strategies in WEC-Sim

    Creator:
    So, Ratanak
    Abstract:
    When the term renewable energy is mentioned in a conversation, wind, solar, and hydro energy typically come to mind. However, there is one major resource that has remained mostly untapped: wave energy. Wind and solar power technologies are well established around the world but they cannot generate electricity all the...

  • Determining The Impact of Photovoltaic Generation on Power Systems

    Creator:
    AL-Anazi, Falah
    Abstract:
    The National Conference of State Legislatures NCSL declares that 29 states have been active in adopting and increasing renewable portfolio standards. Present renewable portfolio standards require utilities to increase integration of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV). The increased penetration of PV systems is expected to destabilize the power...

  • Power system reliability and power quality assessments with grid-connected wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Generating abundant, renewable energy from Earth’s oceans is an attractive option for meeting increasing energy demand. Marine renewable energy also comes with the variability of renewable sources, which impact the reliability and power quality of the electrical grid. On a transmission-level, this dissertation looks at ensuring reliability of the power...

  • A methodology to enable wind farm automatic generation control

    Creator:
    Han, Hai-Yue
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade the increase in penetration of wind power and its variable nature has begun to add considerable stress to and threatened the stability of the nation's grid. In order to continue growth wind farms will need to have the ability to participate in the same grid frequency...

  • Use of a model predictive control framework for optimal control of grid scale electrical energy storage in conjunction with a wind farm

    Creator:
    Antonishen, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Over the last decade, wind penetration in the Pacific Northwest has increased rapidly. The variable nature of this massive new resource has increased stress on the hydropower resource to the point where system limits are currently being reached. In order to cultivate continued growth of the wind energy industry both...

  • 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...
