Target-based coverage extension of 802.11 MANETs via constrained UAV mobility

Creator:: Johnson, Taylor N.
Abstract:: MANETs are known to be useful in situations where mobile nodes need to communicate and coordinate in dynamic environments with no access to fixed network infrastructure. However, connectivity problems can occur when sub-groups within a MANET move out of communication range from one another. The increasingly prolific use of UAVs...

Lasers in the Sky : Distributed Temperature Sensing and a Micro-Meteorological Approach to Quantifying Evapotranspiration

Creator:: Predosa, Robert
Abstract:: Lower atmospheric flux measurements are a difficult subset of atmospheric data to accurately collect. The interplay of cost, precision, specialty, resolution and repeatability compound an already difficult experimental problem. In response to this, a new, novel instrumentation approach to measuring within the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is introduced. The combination...

Experimental Validation of the Hydrodynamic Coefficients for an Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter

Creator:: Bentivoglio, Marine M. J.
Abstract:: Resulting from the action of wind over open water surfaces, water waves contain colossal amounts of energy that has not yet been harnessed. Seen as a very promising source for renewable energy generation, many studies have tried to make wave energy a cost competitive source by investigating optimal designs of...

High torque density cycloid electrical machine for robotic application

Creator:: Liu, Rui
Abstract:: This thesis investigates a novel cycloid electric machine that integrates both cycloid gear drive and permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), and proposes to apply the machine in robotic transmission system. Cycloid gear drive is a transmission device that is commonly used to boost up the output torque. It has been...

Rapid bidirectional power flow of supercapacitor bank energy storage through grid-tied inverters for improved renewables integration

Creator:: Bostrom, Arne
Abstract:: The variable output of renewables such as wind and solar causes fluctuations of power flow that can adversely affect power system operation, especially at high levels of penetration. The coordination of multiple energy storage solutions can mitigate integration challenges by providing a buffer from variable renewables. This thesis presents the...

Efficient RF energy scavenging and ultra-low power management for powering wireless sensor nodes

Creator:: Arumugam, Vikrant P.
Abstract:: As the demand for real-time information in engineering and health care systems keeps increasing, the need for wireless sensor nodes is also continuously increasing. As a result, the cost and effort involved in installing and maintaining batteries to power the numerous sensor nodes is growing exponentially. Providing a cost effective...

Electric Machine Capability Characterization for Actuators in Disaster Response Robots

Creator:: Li, Qianyun
Abstract:: Disaster response robots need to be simultaneously able to survive extreme environment and complete the mission efficiently and robustly. One of the determinants is the performance of the actuators in each joint, which drive the robot to the desired motion accurately. In robotics society, people usually build their robots directly...

A Microgrid Design Case Study : Synchrophasor Placement and Development of a Protection Laboratory for the Oregon State University - Corvallis Campus

Creator:: Huo, Chen
Abstract:: In the past two years, Oregon State University (OSU) Corvallis campus suffered several power outages. The estimated cost of one of those outages was close to a million dollars worth of equipment and impact on research projects. Meanwhile, the campus grid operates with severely aging power assets. The reliability of...

Time-domain modeling of heaving point absorber wave energy converters, including power take-off and mooring

Creator:: Ruehl, Kelley
Abstract:: Wave energy conversion is still in its infancy, and in order for it to become a commercially viable technology, developers, investors and utilities need to estimate a Wave Energy Converter's (WEC's) performance for the wave climate of a potential installation site. With the goal of estimating a design's power output...
