  • Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Zachery D.
    Abstract:
    The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....

  • Low-voltage pipeline A/D converter

    Creator:
    Wu, Lei
    Abstract:
    Continuous process scale-down and emerging markets for low-power/low-voltage mobile systems call for low-voltage analog integrated circuits. Switched-capacitor (SC) circuits are the building blocks for analog signal processing and will encounter severe overdrive problems when operating at low voltage conditions. There exist three techniques to solve the problem, but with their...

  • Modeling of the orientation dependence of scanned HgCdTe infrared detectors

    Creator:
    Reudink, Mark D.
    Abstract:
    Mercury cadmium telluride is important in the detection of electromagnetic radiation in the eight to twelve micron atmospheric window for infrared imaging systems. High resolution infrared imaging systems use either large (256x256 element to 1024x1024 element) staring arrays or much smaller (1-6 element) scanned arrays in which the image is...

  • Analysis and modeling of planar microstrip spiral inductors on lossy substrates

    Creator:
    Lutz, Richard D.
    Abstract:
    The advent of low-cost RFIC's fabricated in Silicon-based technologies has led to the use of monolithic lumped elements which are located on-die. While it is clearly advantageous to have a high degree of integration and thus fewer off chip elements, parasitic losses due to semiconducting substrate effects can be a...

  • Performance and parameter prediction of large synchronous machines from physical dimensions

    Creator:
    Heberle, David D.
    Abstract:
    A project funded by the Southern California Edison (SCE) Company, Research Center of Irwindale, California, has supported the development of a performance and parameter prediction software program for use during the refurbishment of large synchronous machines, turbine generators, and synchronous condensers. The computer program was developed for SCE to allow...

  • Finite element modeling of dielectric waveguides

    Creator:
    Vishakhadatta, Gannavaram D.
    Abstract:
    Dielectric waveguides are becoming important for their numerous applications in integrated optics. The study of dielectric waveguides by analytical techniques is not sufficient for many variations in waveguide shape, anisotropy, and inhomogeneity commonly encountered in waveguide materials. This work studies the finite element method as an accurate tool for the...

  • Methods for short-term prediction of wind speeds in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Gorge wind farm region

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D.
    Abstract:
    Variable electrical generation (VG) sources such as wind farms are an increasing percentage of total electrical generation in the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) balancing area and are starting to impact the ability of the regional balancing authority to control the electric grid. Wind farms are not dispatchable and challenge historical...

  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

  • Design studies relating to the brushless doubly-fed automotive alternator

    Creator:
    Ravi, D. K.
    Abstract:
    The alternators in today's automobiles are of the claw-pole or Lundell construction, which is a readily manufactured, low-cost derivative of the conventional rotating dc field synchronous generator. The efficiency of the Lundell system is low due to a complicated magnetic circuit of predominantly solid steel and a high windage rotor...
