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...

Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

Creator:: Devin, Michael C.
Abstract:: Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

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...

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....

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...

Wind ramp prediction

Creator:: Alexander, Chianna M.
Abstract:: The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...
