Experimental and numerical quantification of EV and PHEV battery pack thermal isolation strategies
(2015-10-30)
The objective of this thesis is to quantify the effects of passive thermal management achieved through augmenting thermal isolation incorporated into an electrified vehicle’s energy storage system by design. Temperature ...
Design and simulation of MEMS-based insulin micro-pump with integrated micro-needle array
(2015-11-01)
One of the most effective treatments for diabetes type 1 and 2 is the administering Insulin. Single needle mechanical insulin pumps are heavy and painful. A generation of micro-needle-based MEMS-based drug delivery devices ...
Design and control of FACTS-based high performance microgrid
(2015-12-01)
The current power grid introduces many limitations and challenges in a world that is heavily dependent on electricity. Many government agencies, utility companies, researchers and engineers in the electric power industry ...

Power-optimal network beamforming in single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay networks
(2015-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider a single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay network, where the relays employ amplify-and-forward (AF) signaling in a multiple access broadcast channel (MABC) protocol to enable a bi-directional ...
Novel intelligent control techniques in solar-based energy harvesting systems
(2015-10-01)
The sun is considered a precious source of energy. Much research has been done to increase our usage from solar energy since it is a renewable source and, most importantly, it is free and green. However in order to use ...
Spectrum sharing for two-way relay networks
(2015-07-01)
We consider a communication network consisting of two transceiver nodes, one relay node, and one receiving node. The relay enables a two-way communication between the two transceivers and meanwhile sends its own information ...
Development of an autonomous omnidirectional hazardous material handling robot
(2015-12-01)
This thesis describes the prototyping and testing of an autonomous omnidirectional robot, called the OmniMaxbot. The OmniMaxbot is designed to carry cans of uranium ash at Cameco Corporation's Port Hope Conversion Facility ...
Ultracapacitor characterization using a novel dynamic parameter identification modeling technique for electric transportation applications
(2015-09-01)
Ultracapacitors (UCs), also known as Supercapacitors or double layer capacitors, are the promising technology devices used for storing energy in the field of energy storage systems. These ultra-capacitors, being a low ...
Electrochemical analysis of CuCl/HCl electrolyser
(2015-10-01)
This thesis presents an electrochemical study on a CuCl/HCl electrolyser which is the hydrogen generation step of the CuCl thermochemical hydrogen production cycle. The anode electrolyte is solution of 2 mol.l−1 CuCl(aq) ...
