  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • 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...

  • A computer simulation model of land use dynamics in the State of Oregon

    Creator:
    Calligan, C. C.
    Abstract:
    The dynamics of land use in the State of Oregon are simulated on a digital computer. The introductory chapter outlines the complex nature of the problems facing the post-industrial society and argues that the scientific and professional estates share in the responsibility for public policy formulation. The second chapter .presents...

  • Distance learning applied to control engineering education

    Creator:
    Aktan, Burçin
    Abstract:
    At the College of Engineering, Oregon State University, we have successfully developed and demonstrated a distance learning application utilizing emerging communications technologies in a new way to allow control engineering teaching laboratories to be accessed remotely. Second Best to Being There (SBBT) provides the remote user with all the capabilities...

  • Steady-state analysis techniques for coupled device and circuit simulation

    Creator:
    Hu, Yutao
    Abstract:
    The focus of this work is on the steady-state analysis of RE circuits using a coupled device and circuit simulator. Efficient coupling algorithms for both the time-domain shooting method and the frequency-domain harmonic balance method have been developed. A modified Newton shooting method considerably improves the efficiency and reliability of...

  • Frequency domain steady-state simulation of oscillators

    Creator:
    Duan, Xiaochun
    Abstract:
    The focus of this work is on developing algorithms for frequency domain steady-state analysis of oscillators. Convergence problems associated with the frequency domain harmonic balance simulation of oscillators have been examined. Globally convergent homotopy methods have been combined with the harmonic balance method for robust high-Q oscillator simulation. Various homotopy...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • Rapid Grid State Estimation using Singular Value Decomposition

    Creator:
    Kulkarni, Janhavi
    Abstract:
    Synchrophasor technology has gained great momentum with the widely adopted concept of smart grids in power systems at transmission and generation level. This has led to an improved state estimation of a power system with the advent of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). PMUs contribute in providing real-time information about the...

  • On the state and parameter estimation of stochastic bilinear systems : a sub-optimal filtering approach

    Creator:
    Shadman-Valavi, Ali
    Abstract:
    Bilinear systems due to their variable structure properties offer more versatility in modelling of nonlinear processes than linear systems. The state estimation problem for a continuous bilinear system with a continuous observation model is studied and the results are extended to the case where the observations are of a discrete...

  • Resiliency of United States Power Grids to Inclement Weather Conditions

    Creator:
    Trevis, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    The United States depends on the electrical grid infrastructure for nearly every facet of its operation. Understanding how inclement weather affects the reliability of the grid and what the U.S. is doing to ensure its resiliency will be a key step moving forward into the 21st century as global climate...
