This document provides a final technical report for the Mid-Atlantic Offshore Wind Interconnection and Transmission project funded by the DOE. The report summarizes the project's key tasks and findings. It analyzed five scenarios of offshore wind buildout off the coast of PJM up to 69.7 GW of installed capacity. It found that an offshore HVDC transmission system like the Atlantic Wind Connection would result in lower transmission losses than piecemeal radial connections. High-resolution wind resource and forecasting modeling was performed. Analysis showed forecasts had satisfactory performance for capturing wind variability and power output at offshore nodes. The project provided insights into how different levels of offshore wind could affect transmission needs, congestion, and demand for grid services within PJM
Dynamic floating wind turbine by NRL J.M. Jonkmanvalter gentile
This document summarizes a technical report that analyzes the dynamics and loads of an offshore floating wind turbine. It describes a numerical model that was developed to simulate the coupled dynamic response of a floating wind turbine system, including the aerodynamics of the wind turbine, the hydrodynamics of the floating platform, and the dynamics of the mooring lines. The model was used to estimate loads and response of the system in normal and extreme conditions.
The document summarizes the Fall 2010 Convocation at the College of Engineering including:
1) Faculty and staff awards were given out including the Superior Engineering Teacher Award.
2) Promotions to Associate Professor with tenure, Full Professor, and University Professor were announced.
3) Named appointments to endowed department chairs were made.
4) The Dean discussed restructuring central administration to create a more sustainable business model in response to state budget cuts while protecting student learning. Academic department budgets and factors like enrollment, research awards, and private fundraising were also addressed.
This document discusses the threat of a growing U.S. innovation deficit due to declining public investment in basic research. It provides case studies of underfunded areas of science that could yield major benefits, including advances in health, energy, high-tech industries, and national security. These include research related to Alzheimer's disease, cybersecurity, space exploration, plant sciences, quantum information technologies, policy analysis, catalysis, fusion energy, infectious diseases, defense technologies, photonics, synthetic biology, materials discovery, robotics, and batteries. Increased investment in these fields could lead to new treatments, more efficient energy and manufacturing, economic growth, and strategic advantages over competitors like China.
The document discusses the following:
1) Spring quarter is busy time for UW students and faculty, with seniors wrapping up capstone projects and many competing in innovation competitions. The Career Center is helping students find internships and opportunities.
2) UW was recently ranked the most innovative public university by Reuters. Engineering faculty were responsible for over half of innovations in the past 5 years.
3) The College's strategic plan focuses on increasing diversity, inclusion, and access to provide world-class education for students.

This document analyzes Beethoven's synthesis of sonata form and variation form in the opening movements of his late piano sonatas, the Hammerklavier Sonata and Op. 110 No. 31. It first discusses the defining characteristics of sonata form and variation form and how they differ conceptually. It then provides a detailed analysis of the form in the Hammerklavier's first movement, identifying elements of both sonata form and variation form. The analysis suggests Beethoven treats the movement's themes as variations, linking later themes back to the initial themes through shared characteristics, resulting in a hybrid form combining sonata style with variation techniques.

The document advocates conducting research, adopting resilience best practices, and providing incentives to advance societal resilience.
In 2006 the European Union issued a Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) which among other materials banned the use of lead in electronics. The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry in the US designs and manufactures products that carry more than three billion passengers worldwide on any given day as well as systems which are vital to our national security. In order to transition to lead-free electronics, the A&D industry demands careful analysis and research into the performance, reliability and safety of these materials in order to maintain public safety and assure our war-fighters’ mission is successful and safe. In this effort, the College of Engineering at Tuskegee University and the Boeing Company has teamed to understand some of the knowledge gaps that surround this new technology. Students at Tuskegee are undertaking an effort to understand the best use of conformal coatings to mitigate the risks these tin protrusions can cause in an electronic circuit. Also, Tuskegee is studying the effects tin whiskers may have on the ability of conformal coatings to protect Circuit Boards from corrosion.

flow model is run after both the intermediate-term UC and the real-time economic
dispatch model to verify the electrical stability of the grid.
The simulator takes as inputs:
1. The list of generators available for scheduling in the PJM area (including all
relevant operational and iconic parameters)
2. The transmission grid (buses and line), including relevant transmission
parameters
3. Historical (and/or simulated) time series of loads (both active and reactive)
at the bus level over the simulation horizon
4. Rolling time series forecasts of non-dispatchable generation (e.g wind) over
the same horizon
5. Historical (and/or simulated) time series of non-dispatchable generation.
Table 2 shows the results of adding increasingly higher levels of offshore
wind into the unconstrained PJM grid. The percentage of offshore wind
participation in the total generation at build-out level 1 ranged from 2.2% in
the peak load month of July to 4.3% in the winter month of January, whereas
at build-out level 5 (the highest) it ranged from 16.7% to 30%. The
percentage of wind used, with respect to what was actually available, was as
high as 94.8% at build-out level 1 in January, and as low as 56.4% at build-
out level 5 in October. The most noteworthy results in Table 5, though, are
the estimates of the likelihood of load shedding at some time during the
simulated week, due to the unexpected variation in the wind energy
generation. From build-out level 2 and up, in any season, it is practically
certain that the PJM system as currently operated will face load shedding at
least once a week. At build-out level 1 it is possible to operate the system
without any load shedding on a week, but at different degrees, depending on
the season (it is more likely to observe some load shedding in July and
January, when the loads are higher, than in the shoulder months of April and
October). The more energy generated from wind, the larger are the errors in
the forecasts used in the commitment planning, and consequently the higher
is the likelihood that the dispatchable generation committed beforehand will
be unable to handle unexpected variations in the wind energy.
There are different ways in which the PJM market operation can be modified
to try to cope with the uncertainty in the wind energy forecasts. We tested
two of them: (1) the addition of ramp-up and ramp-down reserves from
dispatchable (fast) generation; and (2) a radical improvement in the day-
ahead and intermediate-term wind forecasts. “Radical” in this context means
assuming that we have perfect forecasts, that is, they are equal to the actual
observed values. This is obviously an idealized situation that will serve as a
boundary case for any improvements that might be made in forecasting wind
energy in the future. We will henceforth refer to (1) as the imperfect forecast
case and (2) as the perfect forecast one.
