Analysis and design of computationally efficient modulation schemes for Three Phase Three Switch rectifier for transportation electrification
(2018-02-01)
It is a well-known fact that the transportation sector emits a large amount of pollutants to the atmosphere. The growing need for reducing the carbon footprint has led to sincere efforts being made in the direction of ...
H-Delta: design and applications of a novel 5 degree of freedom parallel robot
(2018-04-01)
This thesis presents a new parallel 5 DOF robot called the H-Delta. The H-
Delta adds 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) to the traditional Delta robot in a novel
way, adding functionality and versatility. Importantly, the rotational ...
Design and implementation of a single phase modified Z-source inverter topology for photovoltaic/grid interconnected DC charging applications
(2018-03-01)
Solar energy has been the most popular sources of renewable energy for residential and
semi-commercial applications. Solar energy sources alone cannot be used to charge an
electric vehicle (EV). Solar/Grid interconnected ...
Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)
For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ...
Investigation of thermal management options for robots
(2018-08-01)
This thesis research studies the thermal challenges of robots and evaluates the potential thermal management options. In this regard, it aims to develop and analyze various thermal management options for robotic systems. ...
Experimental investigation and evaluation of hybrid ammonia fuel options for power generators
(2018-04-01)
This research thesis aims to make use of ammonia as a possible fuel source for power generators by performing an experimental study on a gasoline generator with an ammonia based gasoline fuel blend. Then, the combustion ...
Development and experimental analysis of a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric vehicle batteries
(2018-03-01)
In this thesis, a novel hybrid cooling concept for electric batteries is developed and studied at both the cell-level and pack-level experiments. The concept is based on a simple air-cooling duct that utilizes enhanced ...
Active balancing of lithium-ion cells for maximum power discharging
(2018-07-01)
The future of Electric Vehicle’s (EV) depends on the adoption of the technology. Currently the limiting factor for EV adoption is mainly the initial cost, the driving range, charging capability, and the battery life. The ...
Low complexity multicast beamforming in massive MIMO multi-cell networks
(2018-08-01)
In this thesis, we consider downlink multicast beamforming in massive multi-input multi-
output (MIMO) multi-cell networks. Both non-cooperative and cooperative beamforming scenarios are considered. For the non-cooperative ...
Investigation of a SPH-based sub-cell homogenization for PHWR using a multi-cell model
(2018-06-01)
Superhomogenization (SPH) has gained interest in the industry as a possible method to overcome the inherent limitations of standard homogenization (SH) for full nuclearreactor-core neutronics calculations because its ...
