Experimentation of Synchronous and Variable Speed Small Scale Hydropower Systems

Creator:: Jackson, Elliott C.
Abstract:: Hydropower is the one of the oldest renewable energy technologies and is wrongly thought of today as having little room to grow. The opportunity for new hydropower capacity is immense through both technology advancement and run-of-river new stream reach projects. Despite the age of hydropower, a divide in opinion is...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

Simplified WECC modeling for frequency response, wind integration, and energy storage

Creator:: Bhattacharji, Pranathi
Abstract:: The primary objective of a grid is to maintain a balance between generation and load. If these quantities are not in balance with each other, severe damages such as voltage fluctuations, low power quality, power outages or even cascaded blackouts may occur. Hence one of the primary factors that holds...
