Multi-objective Resilience Optimization of Interdependent Critical Infrastructure Networks

Creator:: Tiong, Achara
Abstract:: Critical Infrastructures (CIs) such as energy, water supply, telecommunications, and transportation are highly vulnerable to cascading failures due to their interdependent operations. A resilient network is crucial to withstand the impact of functionality loss in disruptive events. This research evaluates network expansion as a proactive resilience strategy in which new...

Probabilistic Wind Power Forecasting for Hybrid Systems

Creator:: Irmas, Cameron
Abstract:: Wind power forecasting provides valuable insights for demand response, energy market operation, and plant control optimization. Probabilistic approaches—which capture uncertainty in these complex systems by representing predictions as probability distributions—represent a growing area of research in wind energy science. However, their applications for wind-based hybrid systems, particularly those focused on...

Application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller for Ocean Wave Energy Conversion Systems

Creator:: Haider, Ali S.
Abstract:: This work addresses the application of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) to a class of ocean wave energy conversion systems in which the cost functional is not in a standard quadratic form, and the WEC model includes the nonlinear effects, such as the hydrodynamic viscous drag. The NMPC implementation is...

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...

Automated Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks using Graph Grammars and Monte Carlo Tree Search

Creator:: Zhang, Hongyang
Abstract:: In this work, a fully automated approach to synthesis Metal-Organic Frameworks is presented. We use graph to represent the structure of Metal-organic Frameworks and use graph grammars which are backbone rules and functional group rules to generate metal-organic framework. For a given parameter value of the user defined metal-organic framework,...

Sizing and Performance of the Pendulum Power Take-Off Wave Energy Converter: Modularity and Chaotic Behavior

Creator:: Dizon, Chris
Abstract:: Multiple wave energy converter (WEC) archetypes exist with varying power take-off (PTO) designs in the attempt to maximize ocean energy harnessed and converted into useful energy. The pendulum PTO is popular for its simple, yet robust functionality due to its internally located components and simple operation. Additionally, this PTO does...

Grid Voltage Frequency Estimation Using an Adaptive Complex Master-Slave Unscented Kalman Filter

Creator:: Muñoz Constantine, Juan Pablo
Abstract:: Due to the popularity of electronically controlled loads and the widespread use of alternative energy sources such as wind turbines and solar cells, the power quality at the distribution level must be carefully monitored. One of the many different means to monitor power quality is through frequency measurements. Nonlinearities cause...

Using EarthScope Magnetotelluric Data to Improve the Resilience of the US Power Grid: Rapid Predictions of Geomagnetically Induced Currents

Creator:: Bonner, L. Roy, IV
Abstract:: Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) are quasi-DC signals that are induced in the ground during geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and pose a large threat to power grid infrastructure. The power industry currently attempts to mitigate GIC effects by utilizing 1-D ground electrical conductivity based electric field predictions, though conductivity can vary in...

Validity and Value of Wave Energy Generation as Blackout Risk Mitigation for the Central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Burright, Jeffrey, Clark, Caitlyn E., Johnson, Brandon, and Sharp, Christopher
Abstract:: Energy security is a vital but often unmet requirement for community resiliency. Electricity availability is essential to the functioning of the economy, individual households, and the collective essential services that provide health, safety, and the basic human needs to sustain life. Coastal communities in Oregon face special vulnerability because they...

Adaptive Meets Precautionary: Navigating Risk and Rules in Collaborative Marine Renewable Energy Permitting Processes

Creator:: Burright, Jeffrey D.
Abstract:: Despite its promise as a potentially beneficial new source of energy, the ocean-based renewable energy industry is still in its infancy, and like any new idea there are many unknowns with the potential to affect both people and our natural environments. A permit for marine renewable energy (MRE) must cut...
