Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Presented is an investigation into the modeling, active control design, and simulation of a generic horizontal pendulum wave energy converter, known as a PWEC. A description is provided of the dominant attributes PWECs have, showcasing their promising potential as wave energy converters. Seeking to further promote this potential, an active...

Creator:: Halama, Jonathan James
Abstract:: Several solar energy models exist, but all models must balance: computational runtime, light complexity, and model output volume. These models span the spectrum of simplistic global solar energy equation sets to complex light ray-tracing models. Spatiotemporally inaccurate representations of solar energy may cause compounding simulation effects and introduce unknown modeling...

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...

Creator:: Adre, Norberto
Abstract:: Increased consumer demand for fresh fruit throughout the year has created a need for long term storage. Long term storage of fruit uses more energy than fresh market products, thus increasing production cost. Pacific Northwest energy costs and more competition for markets has made energy conservation an important factor to...

Creator:: Kang, Hee Jung
Abstract:: Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM) has been suggested for the solution of complicated decision problems. Decision analysis in numerous areas, including industrial energy and environmental planning, necessarily requires consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. MODM has been successfully applied to a number of these problems of this type. Moreover, it has the...

Creator:: Siegel, Ryan W.
Abstract:: The beginning of the twenty-first century has seen an upsurge in petroleum prices and an increased concern over greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, the interest in biodiesel production has heightened. Policy at the Federal level, such as the blender’s tax credit which provides $1 for every gallon of biodiesel blended with...
