  • A force control algorithm for a wave energy linear test bed

    Creator:
    Henshaw, Nathan R.
    Abstract:
    Researchers at Oregon State University, focusing on the development of ocean wave energy converters, have designed and installed a unique linear test bed to aid in the characterization of these converters. Under the original control scheme, the linear test bed follows a position profile and is limited in its ability...

  • Automated model parameter extraction for noise coupling analysis in silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Peterson, Brett
    Abstract:
    An automated method, requiring the fabrication of a small set of test structures, efficiently extracts the coefficients of Z-parameter based macromodels. The extraction approach has been validated for both heavily and lightly doped substrates and can be applied to a variety of technologies. After the parameters of a macromodel have...

  • 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...

  • Energy-Aware Gossip Techniques for Wireless Broadcasting

    Creator:
    Li, Tingzhi
    Abstract:
    The current state of research on gossip techniques for wireless broadcasting is very limited because past research efforts have mostly focused on using gossip techniques for multicast communication. On the other hand, those research efforts that have focused on using gossip techniques for wireless broadcast communications ignore energy efficiency and...

  • 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...

  • Design of low OSR, high precision analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Rajaee, Omid
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronic systems have lead to the demand for high resolution, high bandwidth Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). Oversampled ADCs are well- known for high accuracy applications since they benefit from noise shaping and they usually do not need highly accurate components. However, as a consequence of oversampling, they have limited...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Low-power techniques for supply-noise mitigation in phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Arakali, Abhijith
    Abstract:
    Modern day digital systems employ frequency synthesizers to provide a common clock to the system. They are undergoing large scale integration due to which, mitigation of the effect of noise on power supply has become a major design consideration in clocking circuits. Rapid scaling of CMOS technology mandates the design...
