Well I’ve been a bit distracted. The shiny fresh blog I created feels neglected now much like most of my websites I build for myself. At least this one still feels shiny.<\/p>\n
After over a year working full-time for Humboldt Internet, I am changing to part-time starting next week. I am excited to have the extra time to devote to my thesis and at the same time apprehensive about the loss of nearly 1\/2 of my monthly income.<\/p>\n
In the past month, I have focused on acquiring data to use for my thesis. For solar data in Humboldt County, I chose to use the hourly data gathered by the HSU Renewable Energy Student Union (RESU)<\/a> Solar Radiation Monitoring Station (SoRMS<\/a>). The data is available on their site here<\/a>.<\/p>\n One RESU member mentioned that I could acquire possible useful hourly wind and wave data from NOAA so I’ve been spending a week working on that. If I can make NOAA wind and wave hourly data applicable and useful, especially in time with the SoRMS data, then I will have the three intermittent power sources for my thesis running off of real data instead of theoretical data. This would help immensely since it is a “Feasibility Study” after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well I’ve been a bit distracted.
