Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

Creator:: Miller, Annalise M.
Abstract:: Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

Understanding Community Opposition to Industrial Scale Wind Farm Sitings and the Impacts of Federal Fast Track Initiatives in Southern California: A Case Study of the Tule and Ocotillo Wind Energy Facilities

Creator:: Allouzi, Yousef
Abstract:: As climate change forces energy policy to incorporate environmental impacts and fuel diversification into the traditional model of energy security, finding ways to site, develop, and deliver renewable energy has taken on increasing importance across the United States. With no consistent federal framework to implement these changes, much of the...

Floating Offshore Wind Array Systems Optimization off the US West Coast using an Extended Pattern Search Algorithm

Creator:: Forinash, Caitlin P.
Abstract:: The large wind resource off the United States West Coast has the potential to generate wind power for millions of homes, yet the high cost of energy for offshore wind power compared to traditional sources has slowed the development of offshore wind farms in the US. The four studies presented...

A high power emulation of a wind farm

Creator:: Lalla, Chelsea
Abstract:: As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

Development of a Collision Detection Module for Avian and Bat Species on Wind Turbine

Creator:: Davis, Cassandra L.
Abstract:: Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Design and testing of an integrated wildlife-wind turbine interactions detection system

Creator:: Flowers, Jeremy Matthew
Abstract:: Bird and bat mortalities caused by interactions with wind turbines is a critical concern that requires addressing for conservation purposes. Deploying a low cost sensor array will be instrumental during site permitting, conducting impact assessments of existing wind farms, and assessing efficacy of wildlife mortality mitigation or wildlife deterrent technologies....

Community Mobilization in Support and Opposition of Wind Energy Development: Evidence from Wasco and Sherman Counties, Oregon

Creator:: Karmazina, Anna
Abstract:: Despite widespread public support for renewable energy development, the siting of wind energy facilities can prove problematic due to opposition from surrounding communities. I propose a unifying framework to explain community response to wind energy development – showing how concepts from environmental sociology related to local biophysical and socioeconomic conditions...

Use of a model predictive control framework for optimal control of grid scale electrical energy storage in conjunction with a wind farm

Creator:: Antonishen, Michael P.
Abstract:: Over the last decade, wind penetration in the Pacific Northwest has increased rapidly. The variable nature of this massive new resource has increased stress on the hydropower resource to the point where system limits are currently being reached. In order to cultivate continued growth of the wind energy industry both...

Modeling and experimental validation of supercapacitors for use in an in-lab grid developed for wind integration applications

Creator:: Naswali, Eunice
Abstract:: The fast growth of wind energy utilization has necessitated research into wind energy integration. Due to the variable nature of wind and the forecasting challenges, it is desirable to utilize wind energy alongside energy storage sources for reliable wind energy integration. This work details the design of a 25 kW...

Maximization of energy capture of passive, variable-speed wind-turbine

Creator:: Kinjo, Fuminao
Abstract:: This thesis presents and examines the concept that the output of a wound-rotor induction generator (WRIG) can be limited by means of linking to external impedances for wind-turbine generating system application. An 80kW-WRIG is simulated as a model to examine the control of the output power vs. speed characteristic. Model...
