Probabilistic impact of charging plug-in electric vehicles on the electric energy distribution systems
(2016-02-01)
The electric power grid including generation, transmission, and distribution system usually serving the loads in the consumer’s side through distribution transformers. Generally, increasing the demand requires increasing ...
Fault tolerant behavior of advanced control schemes of induction machine drives
(2016-01-01)
Power electronics based variable-speed drives offer energy saving solutions, providing precise control and quick response time. They are required for sensitive process control in industrial applications and other emerging ...
Compact microwave filter designs based on cavity resonators
(2016-04-01)
Cavity resonators are widely used in microwave filters and multiplexers due to their high quality factor and high power handling capability. Compact designs of these filters are important for practical applications, as ...
Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of gas-turbine based systems
(2011-12-01)
Gas turbines are the primary technology used for the purpose of power generation nearly everywhere. In this thesis, the Makkah Power Plant, running on a Brayton cycle, is considered for analysis. The peak demand for electric ...
Development of H∞ control strategy for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle
(2016-08-01)
A vehicle dynamics controller for an 8 x 8 heavy combat vehicle utilising both torque vectoring and third and fourth axle steering is propoed. The control scheme is composed of two controllers: a feedforward zero side slip ...
Communication protocols, queuing and scheduling delay analysis in CANDU SCWR hydrogen co-generation model
(2011-08-01)
Industrial dynamical, Networked Control Systems (NCSs) are controlled over a
communication network. We study a continuous-time CANada Deuterium
Uranium-Super Critical Water Reactor (CANDU-SCWR) hydrogen plant and a
discrete-time ...
Development of an autonomous omnicopter aerial vehicle
(2016-08-01)
Traditional multirotors and helicopters control translational movement by changing
the orientation of the entire vehicle. This limits the effectiveness of such vehicles in
applications as a mobile manipulator base. In these ...
Simulation and control of a Marnoch heat engine
(2012-04-01)
The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of heat engine currently under development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The MHE can use waste or collected heat at temperatures that are currently unusable ...
Haptic controls in cars for safer driving
(2011-06-01)
With the spread of latest state of the art technologies geared towards utilization of the human senses, haptic technologies have been introduced as a way of utilising the sense of touch to either solve real world problems ...
User aid-based evolutionary computation for optimal parameter setting of image enhancement and segmentation
(2011-12-01)
Applications of imaging and image processing become a part of our daily life
and find their crucial way in real-world areas. Accordingly, the corresponding
techniques get more and more complicated.
Many tasks are ...
