A survey of power systems vulnerability and failures on the Pacific Northwest due to natural disasters with a focus on volcanic activity.

Creator:: Tafempa Messa, Winnie
Abstract:: Electricity is at the center of attention as today many essential systems (water, gas, communications, and the internet for example) and infrastructures depend on its continuity for their smooth functioning. On the other hand, electricity power networks have developed and became large, and highly complex technical systems, geographically extended, requiring...

A Residential DC Distribution System with Photovoltaic Array Integration

Creator:: Lee, Chee Sing
Abstract:: A DC distribution system targeted for residential settings has been designed and simulated. The system features the ability to draw power from both the utility and photovoltaic arrays. In times of surplus solar energy, the system is able to supply power back to the utility to facilitate net metering. The...

Design and Implementation of a Frequency Controlled Electric Hot Water Heater Retrofit Thermostat

Creator:: Johanesen, Mackenzie S.
Abstract:: This design of a Grid Friendly Electric Hot Water Heater Thermostat was built for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Design course, ECE44x. The design enables hot water heaters to respond to imbalances in the grid seen through deviations from standard grid frequency by varying the power output to the...

Rapid Grid State Estimation using Singular Value Decomposition

Creator:: Kulkarni, Janhavi
Abstract:: Synchrophasor technology has gained great momentum with the widely adopted concept of smart grids in power systems at transmission and generation level. This has led to an improved state estimation of a power system with the advent of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). PMUs contribute in providing real-time information about the...

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...

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...

Development of a grid-scale energy storage solution via demand response using model predictive control of multiple residential water heaters

Creator:: Halamay, Douglas A.
Abstract:: As the growth of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and ocean wave, increases, their impact on the electrical grid has been rapidly escalating. Although renewable resources have been able to offset some traditional generation, they have also brought a need for increasing reserve capacity due to their non-dispatchable,...

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...

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...

Application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Systems

Creator:: Haider, Ali S.
Abstract:: This work addresses the application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) to a class of ocean wave energy conversion systems in which the cost functional is not in a standard quadratic form, and the WEC model includes the nonlinear effects, such as the hydrodynamic viscous drag. The NMPC implementation is...
