  • 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...

  • Risk and Uncertainty Quantification Methods in Electrical Power Systems

    Creator:
    Johnson, Brandon S.
    Abstract:
    Load flow studies are one of the most essential engineering applications for grid operators because they provide a clear picture of the operating conditions of the power system. Traditionally, the load flow problem is assumed to be deterministic; that is, the system variables contain no randomness. Unfortunately, this assumption is...
