  • Automated Synthesis of Hybrid Energy Network Optimization using A* & Ensemble Forecasting

    Creator:
    Luc, Jonathan H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a method for automatically generating and evaluating small-scale off-grid energy systems. Such systems are comprised of components such as solar panels, residential-scale wind turbines, batteries, inverters and charge controllers. These disparate components are assembled into feasible networks through the use of topological optimization and graph grammar rules....

  • Pollinator-Focused Solar: Observations of Plant-Pollinator Interactions in the Agrivoltaic Understory

    Creator:
    Graham, Maggie
    Abstract:
    Habitat for pollinating insects is declining, which is a concern for agricultural communities that rely on pollination services. Meanwhile, solar energy development is increasing as communities seek to source energy renewably. Land under solar panels is traditionally unused, so some communities are planting pollinator habitat under solar panel canopies to...

  • Greening the grid : the cost-effectiveness of residential solar programs in Oregon

    Creator:
    Hanhan, Nadine
    Abstract:
    Oregon residents possess several options in installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This study examines a range of options--tax credits and rebates, a volumetric incentive rate program, power purchase agreements from third-party installers, and solar leasing--and compares the cost of these options to not installing. The paper considers the problem of...
