Renewable Electricity and the Grid: The Challenge of VariabilityCan renewable energy provide reliable power? Will it need extensive backup?
The energy available from wind, waves, tides and the sun varies in ways that may not match variations in energy demand. Assimilating these fluctuations can affect the operation and economics of electricity networks. Is this a significant problem, or can these... | | Probability for Electrical and Computer EngineersAbout ten years ago we had the idea to begin a course in probability for students of electrical engineering. Prior to that electrical engineering graduate students at the Naval Postgraduate School specializing in communication, control, and signal processing were given a basic course in probability in another department and then began a course in... | | |
