Deployable sensor system using mesh networking and satellite communication

A sensor system may be configured for continuous operation in a low resource environment and/or in extreme environmental conditions. The sensor system may have sufficient processing capabilities to provide scientific computing for pre-processing, quality control, statistical analysis, event classification, data compression and corrections (e.g., spikes in the data), autonomous decisions and actions, triggering other nodes, and information assurance functions that provide data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. The hardware may have both mesh networking and satellite and cellular communication capability, and may be available for relatively low cost. Such a network provides the flexibility to have potentially any number of nodes be completely independent from one another. Thus, the network may scale across a diverse terrain.

Distributed Wind Deployment: Net-Zero Homeowner

This is a case study on distributed wind. The owner had a 25-kilowatt Eocycle wind turbine installed on a 140-foot tower, which separates the turbine from treetops and other potential barriers to consistent winds.

Distributed Wind Deployment: Rural Cooperative

This is a case study about a distributed wind project. Located on a 60-foot hill that was created during past coal mining operations, the “Gob Nob” wind turbine sits high above the fields that surround the project. The additional height allows the wind turbine to access a stronger wind resource than the lower elevations nearby. The land is owned by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and is leased to the Rural Electric Convenience Cooperative (RECC). The project is connected to the Farmersville substation about half a mile away. All of the turbine’s electricity is fed into the Farmersville substation, and then distributed to about 380 RECC members’ homes and farms in the surrounding area.

Distributed Wind Deployment: Dairy Farm

This is case study on distributed wind. Located on the plains in rural Colorado, this family farm uses a distributed wind system to offset electricity used by energy-intensive dairy farming. Their site is ideal for distributed wind development because there are minimal obstacles to block the prevailing winds coming from the west. (Buildings shown are to the east and south, not the dominant wind direction.) The turbines were interconnected on long distribution lines and grid infrastructure upgrades were completed as part of the project.

Distributed Wind Deployment: Triad Recycling and Energy Corporation

This is a case study on a distributed wind project. Located 1,500 feet from the Niagara River, near the decommissioned Huntley coal-fired power plant, Triad Recycling and Energy Corporation uses a distributed wind system to cost-effectively offset the power required by their energy intensive recycling equipment. Their location is ideal for distributed wind development because they are surrounded by brownfields that offer wide, open spaces with unobstructed winds.

Model Improvement for ADMS Deployment

The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of the advanced distribution management system (ADMS) Volt/VAR Optimization (VVO) application for different levels of model quality and different levels of measurement density -- using 4 different load days VVO optimized for conservative voltage regulation (CVR) and six feeders from Xcel Energy.

Developing CO 2 Source and Storage Opportunities across the Illinois Basin Subtask 5.3 – Regional Roadmap for Source Network and Storage Deployment Topical Report

Large-scale anthropogenic CO 2 sources (>100,000 tonnes/year) were catalogued for the CarbonSAFE Illinois East Sub-Basin carbon capture and storage pre-feasibility study. The source portfolio is diverse, consisting of fossil-base power production, ethanol production operations, chemical development, and refinery facilities, most of which are relatively new or modernized (i.e. post year 2000). Ten facilities were considered for potential commercial-scale geological storage in a regional CO 2 source and storage network study. The study area has a number of potential geologic sequestration targets, including three significant deep saline reservoirs with corresponding seals, and potential enhanced oil recovery (EOR) opportunities. Recent research has focused on a high-porosity, highly arkosic zone within the Lower Mt. Simon Sandstone. Based on this work, we present a conceptual CO 2 source and storage network, which focuses on the arkosic zone in the Lower Mt. Simon as a prospective storage resource play in the Illinois East Sub-Basin region.
