Design of an information entity-- the InfoCo-- for the electric power industry under restructuring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Design of dual-output alternators with switched-mode rectification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Electrification of many automotive functions and the desire to introduce many new features are dramatically increasing the electrical power requirements of vehicles. The increasing power demands are becoming very challenging ...
Distribution network use-of-system charges under high penetration of distributed energy resources
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Growing integration of distributed energy resources (DER) presents the electric power sector with the potential for signicant changes to technical operations, business models, and industry structure. New physical components, ...
Large-scale consensus clustering and data ownership considerations for medical applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
An intersection of events has led to a massive increase in the amount of medical data being collected from patients inside and outside the hospital. These events include the development of new sensors, the continuous ...
Tragedy of the routing table : an analysis of collective action amongst Internet network operators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of social efforts to achieve collective action amongst Internet network operators in order to manage the growth of the Internet routing table. The size and rate of growth ...
Investigating the role of microglia in myelin development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
We investigate the role of microglia in myelin development. Myelination is an essential process in early development that consists of the ensheathment of axons by myelin, which ensures rapid conduction of action potentials. ...
An exercise in selecting low-cost air quality sensor placements within an urban environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Air pollution poses the most important environmental health risk to citizens of major cities all over the world. The high cost of current monitoring programs means that enforcement of current regulation, such as the United ...
Opportunities for U.S.-China scientific collaboration in building a bilateral quantum network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
From advancements in time transfer to networked science, quantum networks can enable a new host of experiments that would not otherwise be achievable. We can learn a lot about building such a network to connect quantum ...
The impact of distributed energy resources (DERs) in integrated gas-electricity energy systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Our gas and power energy systems are interconnected, which makes the decision to provide energy a non-trivial one for consumers and the system as a whole. The focus of this thesis is on the long-term planning of integrated ...
Electricity market integration of stochastic renewable resources : efficiency and risk tradeoffs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Electricity generation from renewable sources is growing rapidly, but the variability and uncertainty of renewable resources like wind and solar energy can increase the costs of supplying reliable electricity. Competitive ...
