  • Hardware design and protection issues in an AC/AC converter

    Creator:
    Faveluke, Alex
    Abstract:
    An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in the field. All hardware needed to start and run...

  • Novel design and implementation of a permanent magnet linear tubular generator for ocean wave energy conversion

    Creator:
    Prudell, Joseph H.
    Abstract:
    The world’s energy consumption is growing at an alarming rate and the need for renewable energy is apparent now more than ever. Estimates have shown that optimization of the extraction of energy from the ocean could significantly aid the world’s quest for sustainable and affordable energy services for all. From...

  • Hybrid electric vehicle converter harmonics

    Creator:
    Bowers, Waylon T.
    Abstract:
    Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV’s) are a very important part of today’s transportation system as they are bridging the gap between fully electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion vehicles (ICV’s). They have much higher efficiencies and lower emissions than ICV’s, while still having the ability to travel long range and refuel...

  • Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Adam C.
    Abstract:
    Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

  • Evaluation of the performance of a taut-moored dual-body direct-drive waveenergy converter through numerical modeling and physical testing

    Creator:
    Elwood, David E.
    Abstract:
    With energy prices rising and increasing concern about the influence of fossil fuels on climate change, wave energy systems are on the verge of commercial implementation. These first generation wave energy converters utilize either pneumatics or hydraulics to convert the mechanical energy of waves into electricity. For the last several...
