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...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF James D. Davidson for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical
Capacitance-voltage analysis, SPICE modeling, and aging studies of AC thin-film electroluminescent devices

Creator:

Davidson, James D. (James Douglas), 1960-

Abstract:

Alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are metal-insulator-semiconductorinsulator- metal (MISIM) structures which emit light under high field, pulsed excitation. One aspect of ACTFEL operation that is not well understood is the aging of such devices with operating time. One of the primary goals of this thesis is to characterize the kinetics...
