  • Advancing Power Grid Computing: Analysis and Synthesis of Wide-Area Data, Distributed Real-Time Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulations, and Machine Learning for Event Detection

    Creator:
    Hagan, Travis
    Abstract:
    Global Positioning Systems have allowed for precise timing of power system measurements over wide areas. This newly found capability has the potential to provide much greater insight into the operation of the power system and its response to contingencies, but few analytical techniques currently exist that provide enough robustness and...

  • Power System Resilience Following a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake

    Creator:
    Weinmann, Riley
    Abstract:
    Just off the coast of the Pacific Northwest lies the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ); odds of a very large CSZ earthquake occurring in the next 50 years is estimated to be about 37%. A CSZ seismic event has the potential to cause wide scale damage not just to the power...

  • 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...

  • Enhancing Resolution and Scalability of Power Grid Reliability Algorithms

    Creator:
    Lassetter, Austin R.
    Abstract:
    This Thesis aims to determine whether we can improve the accuracy, resolution, and speed of calculations for common power system problems using simple computational models that scale well to machine learning and high performance computing solutions. The second chapter of this Thesis implements more precise aging and degradation models for...

  • Power System Planning for Sustainable, Reliable, and Accessible Electricity: Models, Methods, and Metrics

    Creator:
    Cicilio, Phylicia R.
    Abstract:
    Generation resources are shifting from centralized, high inertial, fossil fuel based to decentralized, no inertia, and variable renewable resources. The evolution of generation resources in electrical grids requires the transformation of the electrical grid infrastructure, and operation and planning procedures and standards. This dissertation takes four investigations into how to...

  • 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...

  • Power Grid Modeling Using Graph Theory and Machine Learning Techniques

    Creator:
    Duncan, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Graphs have a wide variety of real-world applications. In the area of social networks, graphs are composed of individuals and their relationships with others. Analysis of social networks led to the discovery of the small-world phenomena, which is also known as six degrees of separation. Our analysis is focused on...

  • Development of Machine Learning Tools for Increased Reliability of the Electrical Grid

    Creator:
    Dieter, Keaton J.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid serves as one of the major lifelines to our society. We have come to expect electricity to be available when we want it. But the system that delivers power to us is very complex and made up of many individual pieces. Maintaining and operating this system reliably...

  • 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...

  • Partitioning Techniques to Improve Resilience and Cyber Security in Electric Grid Infrastructure

    Creator:
    Huo, Chen
    Abstract:
    With the increasing penetration of renewable energy integration and potential threats from natural disasters, modern electric power system have been significantly exposed to both small- and large-scale disturbances. Traditional performance metrics including indices of reliability, stability, and security are no longer adequate to describe a power network. Infrastructure properties like...
