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...

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...

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,...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...
