Real-Time Estimation and Prediction of Wave Excitation Forces for Wave Energy Control Applications

Creator:: Ling, Bradley A.
Abstract:: Wave energy is emerging as a new potential source for renewable energy generation. However, wave energy technology is not currently cost competitive with other more mature renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. One approach that researchers and developers are taking to reduce the cost of wave energy is...

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...

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...

Micro in-lab grid integration of a wave energy converter

Creator:: Okuda, Jeremy S.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy has great potential to develop into a strong and reliable form of renewable energy. As the technology develops, more wave energy converters will be grid interconnected and the variable nature of the ocean will begin to influence the stability of the electrical grid system. There are many...

Automated Synthesis of Hybrid Energy Network Optimization using A* & Ensemble Forecasting

Creator:: Luc, Jonathan H.
Abstract:: This thesis describes a method for automatically generating and evaluating small-scale off-grid energy systems. Such systems are comprised of components such as solar panels, residential-scale wind turbines, batteries, inverters and charge controllers. These disparate components are assembled into feasible networks through the use of topological optimization and graph grammar rules....

Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

Creator:: Meier, Richard John
Abstract:: In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

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...

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...

Modeling, simulation, and analysis of two hydraulic power take-off systems for wave energy conversion

Creator:: Casey, Sean (Sean Michael)
Abstract:: Hydraulic power take-off (PTO) systems have been implemented in several wave energy converter (WEC) designs in recent years. Two popular hydraulic PTO configurations coupled to a point absorber hydrodynamic model are simulated in waves representative of an energetic sea state likely to be found in deep waters off the coast...

Analysis of Learning Schemes for Power Systems Secure Control

Creator:: Lassetter, Carter
Abstract:: As the future electrical power systems tend towards smarter and greener technology, thedeployment of self-sufficient networks, or microgrids, becomes more likely. Microgridsmay operate on their own or synchronized with the main grid, thus control methodsneed to take into account islanding and reconnecting said networks. Isolation of subnetworks may be necessary...
