Dan Abelson
Class of 2009
After graduation I would like to design community power generation stations using local resources.
As you go through this degree, I think it’s important to stay grounded, be true to yourself, and observe an ascetic’s rejection of everything and a monk’s embrace of nothing.
My Senior Project is to transform the brute mechanical power of the micro-hydro turbine by Timothy Bailey, into purified electrical power. This task involves selecting an appropriate generator and designing the necessary power controls to ensure the signal is grid compatible.
I chose to come to OIT Portland for the glamour of studying Renewable Energy.
