Resiliency Of Levee-Protected Power Networks To Flooding In A Changing Climate Integrating Environmental Justice, Seyed Saeed Miraee-Ashtiani
Resiliency Of Levee-Protected Power Networks To Flooding In A Changing Climate Integrating Environmental Justice, Seyed Saeed Miraee-Ashtiani
Theses and Dissertations
Electric power system (EPS) is an integral part of infrastructure systems. Ensuring its resiliency to extreme weather events and natural hazards is crucial to protect the safety, economy and public health. Recorded and projected data show an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events and natural hazards attributed to a changing climate. It is critical to ensure the integrity of the aging infrastructure systems and to promote environmental justice by shrinking the energy-equity gap to lower power outages in disadvantaged communities.
An important aspect is the resiliency interdependency of EPS to other critical infrastructure systems, an aspect …
Skip The Grid: Giving Power To Navajo Nation, Ryan J. Schacherbauer
Skip The Grid: Giving Power To Navajo Nation, Ryan J. Schacherbauer
Construction Management
Skip the Grid is a project organized by Heart of America, a nonprofit, looking to improve the education and overall wellbeing of children and their families. Many residents within Navajo Nation do not have access to continuous power and rely on temporary generators or car battery to obtain any kind of electricity. Heart of America partnered with the Red Mesa School District to identify families that did not have power, which was impacting the children’s ability to complete their online schoolwork. This senior project was comprised of an interdisciplinary team responsible for installing a working solar system on twelve homes …
Optimizing Speed Profiles For Sustainable Train Operation With Wayside Energy Storage Systems, Leon A. Allen
Optimizing Speed Profiles For Sustainable Train Operation With Wayside Energy Storage Systems, Leon A. Allen
Dissertations
Large hauling capability and low rolling resistance has put rail transit at the forefront of mass transportation mode sustainability in terms of congestion mitigation and energy conservation. As such, rail vehicles are one of the least energy-intensive modes of transportation and least environmentally polluting. Despite, these positives, improper driving habits and wastage of the braking energy through dissipation in braking resistors result in unnecessary consumption, extra costs to the operator and increased atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions.
This study presents an intelligent method for the optimization of the number and locations of wayside energy storage system (WESS) units that maximize the …
Environmental Design And Optimization Of Modular Hydropower Plants, Colin Sasthav
Environmental Design And Optimization Of Modular Hydropower Plants, Colin Sasthav
Doctoral Dissertations
This research aimed to understand the pathways to cost-effective and sustainable low-head hydropower. Designing viable hydropower projects requires optimization across many economic, environmental, and social outcomes. However, existing run-of-river hydropower design models often focus on economic performance and customizing technologies for high-head diversion schemes. Standard modular hydropower is a new design approach that uses standardized rather than custom-designed technologies to achieve economies of scale. Oak Ridge National Laboratory established a conceptual outline for module classes based on functions, such as generation modules and fish passage modules, but further research was needed to identify how modules should be selected and operated …
Installation Of Electrical System For Paso Robles Police Department, Peter D. Strykers, Jacob M. Studebaker
Installation Of Electrical System For Paso Robles Police Department, Peter D. Strykers, Jacob M. Studebaker
Construction Management
This paper outlines the process that Peter Strykers and Jacob Studebaker went through to set up the lighting and power system for the Paso Robles Police Department gun range located off highway 46. Before our installation, the gun range had zero lighting so the officers could not use it after sunset. We allowed the officers to light the gun range with outdoor LED lights, light up both the storage units on site, and have access to multiple outlets inside and out of the storage units. The power source that the electrical system runs on comes from a Kubota generator because …
Análisis De Alternativas De Aprovechamiento De Materiales Que Componen A Los Medidores De Energía Eléctrica, Julián David Amaya Ríos, David Alexis Solano Cortés
Análisis De Alternativas De Aprovechamiento De Materiales Que Componen A Los Medidores De Energía Eléctrica, Julián David Amaya Ríos, David Alexis Solano Cortés
Ingeniería Ambiental y Sanitaria
El cambio de medidores de energía convencionales a medidores de energía inteligentes en Colombia, es un paso a la transición de energías renovables, que a su vez, genera problemáticas en el sector de gestión de residuos sólidos. Esto debido a que los residuos de los medidores son Residuos de Aparatos y Electrónicos (RAEE) y usualmente se disponen como un residuo ordinario, sin tener presente que, aparte de ser un residuo peligroso (el cual requiere un tratamiento especial), muchos de los materiales de sus componentes son reciclables. Es por ello que, el presente proyecto de investigación realiza una recopilación de información …
Implementation And Usage Of Low-Cost Turbines For Power Generation In Water Networks, Luis Javier Ortiz Osornio
Implementation And Usage Of Low-Cost Turbines For Power Generation In Water Networks, Luis Javier Ortiz Osornio
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The following APP is part of an investigation and development, carried out to design, and implement a hydroelectric turbine of horizontal axis, in order to generate electrical energy in rural areas, utilizing existing infrastructure or natural waterways such as irrigation canals, piping, rivers and streams. Every industrialized country, as well as, most of the developing nations, have a stake in agriculture and thus access to the infrastructure required for irrigation purposes. Artificial irrigation canals offer advantages such as a clean continuous flow, with the possibility of flow regulation: this together with their vast availability as agricultural infrastructure constitute the main …
