Abstract:
Increasing the percentage of wind power in the United States electricity generation mix would facilitate the transition towards a more sustainable, low-pollution, and environmentally-conscious electricity grid. However, this effort is not without cost. Wind power generation is time-variable and typically not synchronized with electricity demand (i.e., load). In addition, the highest-output wind resources are often located in remote locations, necessitating transmission investment between generation sites and load. Furthermore, negative public perceptions of wind projects could prevent widespre

Abstract:
An increased penetration of renewable energy into the electric power grid is desirable from an environmental standpoint as well as an economical one. However, renewable sources such as wind and solar energy are often variable and intermittent, and additionally, are non-dispatchable. Also, the locations with the highest amount of available wind or solar may be located in areas that are far from areas with high levels of demand, and these areas may be under the control of separate, individual entities. In this dissertation, a method that coordinates these areas, accounts for the variability and

Abstract:
An ergonomically designed work environment may decrease work related musculoskeletal disorders, lead to less sick leaves and increase production time for operators and companies all around the world. Volvo Construction Equipment wants to deepen the knowledge and investigate more carefully how operators are actually sitting whilst operating the machines, how this affects placement of controls and furthermore optimize controls placements accordingly. The purpose is to enhance their product development process by suggesting guidelines for control placement with improved ergonomics based on operat

Abstract:
Increasing wind penetration adds to the importance of enhancing the reliability of wind, to mitigate the magnitude and frequency of changes in electricity generation. This work addresses how improvements can be made to reliability through the geographic dispersal of wind farms in Ontario, Canada, using modeled North American Regional Reanalysis data. Optimal configurations of wind farm locations are determined according to two criteria. The first selects combinations of wind farms that follow temporal demand patterns, by maximizing the difference between the energy price and the cost of electr

Abstract:
This thesis proposes an approach for the optimal sizing and placement of various types of Distributed Generation (DG) resources with the objective of minimizing the active power losses and improving the voltage profile improvement. Load flow studies have been carried out using BIBC and BCBV matrices. Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithms have been implemented for optimal allocation of Type-1,Type-2 and Type-3 DG. To check the effectiveness, these two algorithms have been tested on the IEEE-33 bus, 69 bus and 119 bus radial distrib

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Groundwater monitoring networks are subject to change by budgetary actions and stakeholder initiatives that result in wells being abandoned or added. A strategy for network design is presented that addresses the latter situation. It was developed in response to consensus in the state of Indiana that additional monitoring wells are needed to effectively characterize water availability in aquifer systems throughout the state. The strategic methodology has two primary objectives that guide decision making for new installations: (1) purp

Abstract:
Bioenergy is reemerging as an important topic in energy‐related research. The rapid increase in costs of petroleum products has led to a renewed interest in alternative sources of energy such as biofuels. World‐wide energy consumption has increased 17 times in the last century and the demand for energy in emerging markets such as China and India is projected to increase in the future at unprecedented rates. A review of the current bioenergy literature is presented in this thesis. Also, comments on the economics of bioethanol are discussed. The primary part of the thesis focuses on statistical

The increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) in power distribution systems presents technical and economic benefits as well as integration challenges to utility engineers. Governments are beginning to acknowledge DG as an economically viable alternative to deferring investment at generation, transmission and distribution levels, meeting demand growth and improving distribution network performance and security.
