  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Dynamic modeling and mitigation of cascading failure in power systems

    Creator:
    Song, Jiajia
    Abstract:
    Recent blackout events consistently show that a variety of mechanisms are involved in cascading outages. These cascading mechanisms are irregularly modeled and validated within the existing literature and industry practices. Understanding the relative significance of these different mechanisms is important for choosing which one(s) needs to be modeled for specific...

  • Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Zachery D.
    Abstract:
    The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....
