This document summarizes a demonstration of plasma flow control technology for wind turbines. It describes a 20 kW demonstration project conducted from 2012-2015 that showed increased lift and energy capture when plasma actuators were installed on the blades of a small variable speed wind turbine. Key accomplishments included improved plasma actuator designs with higher control authority and reliability, and a full-scale demonstration that measured increased power coefficients and projected a 13% increase in annual energy production.

Mockup Usability Test for Golden Rule Rentals WebsiteBrian Baker
A usability test was conducted on a mockup website for Golden Rule Rentals to evaluate users' ability to complete tasks and their satisfaction. 6 participants completed 6 tasks with a 100% success rate. They agreed it was easy to find information, track their location, and predict sections. While feedback was positive, participants felt the homepage lacked visual appeal and could be improved with more color, pictures and reorganized content. Recommendations from the test will be used to enhance the final website.
This paper explores the adaptive optimal design of Active Thermally Insulated (ATI) windows to significantly improve energy efficiency. The ATI window design uses ther- mostats to actively control thermoelectric (TE) units and fans to regulate the overall ther- modynamic properties of the windows. The windows are used to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Since weather conditions vary with different geographical locations and with time, the thermodynamic properties of the windows should adapt accordingly. The electric power supplied to the TE units and the fans are dynamically controlled so as to provide an optimal operation under varying weather conditions. Optimization of the ATI window design is a multiobjective problem. The problem minimizes both the heat trans- ferred through the window and electric power consumption. The heat transfer through the ATI windows is analyzed using FLUENT; and the optimization is performed using MAT- LAB. Since the computational expense of optimization for numerous weather conditions is excessive, the power supplies are optimized under a reasonably small number of weather conditions. Based on the optimal results obtained for these conditions, a surrogate model is developed to represent the optimal results in a wide range of weather conditions. The surrogate model is used to evaluate optimal power supplies with respect to different val- ues of outside temperature, wind speed, and intensity of solar radiation. Thermometers, anemometers, and solar radiation sensors are used to sense these weather conditions. With the inputs from the sensors, the thermostats determine the operating conditions and cal- culate the corresponding optimal power supplies using the surrogate model. Since the ATI windows are operated with optimal power supplies, high energy efficiency is achieved.
One of the primary drawbacks plaguing wider acceptance of surrogate models is their low fidelity (in general), which can be in a large part attributed to the lack of quantitative guidelines regarding the suitability of different models for diverse classes of problems. In this context, model selection techniques are immensely helpful in ensuring the selection and use of an optimal model for a particular design problem. A novel model selection technique was recently developed to perform optimal model search at three levels: (i) optimal model type (e.g., RBF), (ii) optimal kernel type (e.g., multiquadric), and (iii) optimal values of hyper-parameters (e.g., shape parameter) that are conventionally kept constant. The maximum and the median error measures to be minimized in this optimal model selection process are given by the REES error metrics, which have been shown to be significantly more accurate than typical cross-validation-based error metrics. Motivated by the promising results given by REES-based model selection, in this paper we develop a framework called Collaborative Surrogate Model Selection (COSMOS). The primary goal of COSMOS is to allow the selection and usage of globally competitive surrogate models. More specifically, this framework will offer an open online platform where users from within and beyond the Engineering Design (and MDO) community can submit training data to identify best surrogates for their problem, as well as contribute new and advanced surrogate models to the pool of models in this framework. This first-of-its-kind global platform will facilitate sharing of ideas in the area of surrogate modeling, benchmarking of existing surrogates, validation of new surrogates, and identification of the right surrogate for the right problem. In developing this framework, this paper makes three important fundamental advancements to the original REES-based model selection - (i) The optimization approach is modified through binary coding to allow surrogates with differing numbers of candidate kernels and kernels with differ- ing numbers of hyper-parameters. (ii) A robustness criterion, based on the variance of errors, is added to the existing criteria for model selection. (iii) Users are allowed to perform model selection for a specified region of the input space and not only for the entire input domain, subject to empirical constraints that are related to the relative sample strength of the region. The effectiveness of the COSMOS framework is demonstrated using a comprehensive pool of five major surrogate model-types (with up to five constitutive kernel types), which are tested on two standard test problems and an airfoil design problem.
The document discusses the author's experience with klonopin (clonazepam) usage and withdrawal. They were prescribed a high dose of klonopin by their psychiatrist for anxiety. While it initially helped reduce anxiety symptoms, the author soon developed dependence and would experience severe withdrawal if they missed a dose. After several difficult attempts, the author was able to taper off klonopin completely with help from a detox center, but it took two years for their body to fully recover from the effects of benzodiazepine dependence. The author wonders if doctors adequately inform patients about the risks of klonopin usage, given the terrible withdrawal symptoms they experienced.

This document summarizes research on the design optimization of a launch vehicle concept using a clustered hybrid rocket engine for future space transportation. The researchers developed a design methodology for a launch vehicle with clustered hybrid rocket engines and investigated combinations of unit engines. Their objectives were to maximize payload to gross weight ratio and minimize gross weight. They defined four design cases and used multi-objective genetic algorithms and data visualization techniques to optimize the design variables. The results showed that a design with optimized engines for each stage performed best by avoiding excess unburnt fuel from shared engines across stages. Future work could further reduce unburnt fuel and improve payload ratio.

This document describes using efficient global optimization applied to wind tunnel experiments to optimize flow control by plasma actuators. The optimization method uses a Kriging surrogate model and genetic algorithm to select additional sampling locations for wind tunnel runs to improve the model. Over 20 runs, it identified design variables that minimized drag for different plasma actuator configurations. Design A achieved the lowest drag by reducing flow separation with high duty cycle and modulation frequency settings. Design B also reduced drag with lower electrical energy requirements. The automated optimization successfully integrated wind tunnel experiments to efficiently optimize plasma actuator control parameters.
