A general framework for supporting economic feasibility of generator and storage energy systems through capacity and dispatch optimization
Saeed Azad, Ziraddin Gulumjanli, Daniel R. Herber
Integration of various electricity-generating technologies (such as natural gas, wind, nuclear, etc.) with storage systems (such as thermal, battery electric, hydrogen, etc.) has t…
Concurrent Geometry, Control, and Layout Optimization of Wave Energy Converter Farms in Probabilistic Irregular Waves using Surrogate Modeling
Saeed Azad, Daniel R. Herber, Suraj Khanal +1
A promising direction towards improving the performance of wave energy converter (WEC) farms is to leverage a system-level integrated approach known as control co-design (CCD). A W…
Integrated Design for Wave Energy Converter Farms: Assessing Plant, Control, Layout, and Site Selection Coupling in the Presence of Irregular Waves
Saeed Azad, Suraj Khanal, Daniel R. Herber +1
A promising direction towards reducing the levelized cost of energy for wave energy converter (WEC) farms is to improve their performance. WEC design studies generally focus on a s…
Site-dependent Solutions of Wave Energy Converter Farms with Surrogate Models, Control Co-design, and Layout Optimization
Saeed Azad, Daniel R. Herber, Suraj Khanal +1
Design of wave energy converter farms entails multiple domains that are coupled, and thus, their concurrent representation and consideration in early-stage design optimization has…
