Large Scale Integration Of Electric Vehicles Into The Power Grid And Its Potential Effects On Power System Reliability, Mingzhi Zhang May 2017

Large Scale Integration Of Electric Vehicles Into The Power Grid And Its Potential Effects On Power System Reliability, Mingzhi Zhang

Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, the potential effects of large scale integration of electric vehicles into the power grid are discussed in both the beneficial and detrimental aspects. The literature review gives a comprehensive introduction about the existing smart charging algorithms. According to the system structure and market mechanism, the smart charging algorithms can be divided into centralized and distributed method. With the knowledge of driving patterns and charging characteristics of electric vehicles, both the centralized and decentralized smart charging algorithms are studied in this research.

Based on the smart charging pricing and sequential price update mechanism, a multi-agent based distributed smart …


A Psychometric Evaluation Of The Recovery Stress Questionnaire For Athletes (Restq-Sport), Stacy L. Gnacinski May 2017

A Psychometric Evaluation Of The Recovery Stress Questionnaire For Athletes (Restq-Sport), Stacy L. Gnacinski

Theses and Dissertations

The Recovery Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport; Kallus & Kellmann, 2016) has been utilized in over one hundred research studies on overtraining in sport (Kallus & Kellmann, 2016). Despite recommendations from researchers to incorporate the RESTQ-Sport into existing practices for monitoring athletes’ responses to training load, gaps in the literature impede the translation of the measure from research to practice (Saw, Main, & Gastin, 2015a; Taylor, Chapman, Cronin, Newton, & Gill, 2012). To address gaps in the literature and enhance knowledge regarding the measurement nuances of the RESTQ-Sport, three systematic studies were completed in the current dissertation project. For all …


Hvdc Transmission System Reliability Evaluation Based On Condition-Dependent Failure Models Of Converters And Transformers, Zibo Wang May 2017

Hvdc Transmission System Reliability Evaluation Based On Condition-Dependent Failure Models Of Converters And Transformers, Zibo Wang

Theses and Dissertations

Wind energy, especially offshore wind energy, is the focus of policy for countries that want to make significant use of renewable energy. With the development of semiconductor technology, high voltage direct current (HVDC) technology is being widely used for the transmission of wind power from offshore windfarms to onshore power grids. The application of HVDC technology can benefit the power system in many ways, such as operation security, reliability performance and economy. With the increasing number of applications of HVDC, the reliability performance of HVDC plays an important role in the overall power system reliability. Although the reliability of HVDC …
