DESCRIPTION
Some PPT tips. Do not show anything that you cannot explain, unless you use it as an example of “we do not yet know why” Use simple backgrounds, such as plain white or very pale yellow, unless your sponsor wants all the logos - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
• Do not show anything that you cannot explain, unless you use it as an example of “we do not yet know why”
• Use simple backgrounds, such as plain white or very pale yellow, unless your sponsor wants all the logos
• Avoid overly busy slides, unless you want to use the over-business to make a point
• People remember annotated photographs and graphs. Show people in photographs if possible. Plain bullets are less effective. (so, why am I using them here?)
• Avoid animation (i.e., bringing in items one by one on a slide). They will trip you up in a presentation.
• If there is a clear conclusion, say it early. Then, repeat at the end once the evidence has been shown.
• Don’t overexplain on the PPT itself – explain more fully when you present it
• Offer to give a PDF version to anyone who asks, or perhaps make it available on your web page. Consider LINKEDIN. Avoid FACEBOOK.

Desert Sky Wind Farm(approx 350 miles southwest of Baylor)
65 m
Blade length 35 m
101m
At least 100 wind turbines in a wind farm
Operate at 10 – 20 RPM, with wind speed range 8 – 56 MPH
Approx. 10 wind turbines (15 MW) per square mile. Thus, a farm needs at least 10 square miles.
Metric units – about 6 MW per square km.

Stability limit is when the angle difference reaches 90 degrees
The Source of Most of Our Synchrophasor Data
• OK for most synchrophasor applications
• Factor in net 30° phase shift due to transformers and unknown a-b-c phase
• Recognize there is a slowing varying 2° or 3° daily phase lag pattern down distribution feeders
• Having one at every airport control tower would provide independent “heads up” early warning about grid problems across US and Canada
• Non-Disclosure agreements are not required!
