Optomal three-time slot distributed beamforming for two-way relaying
(2010-08-01)
In this study, we consider a relay network, with two transceivers and r relay nodes. We
assume that each of relays and the two transceivers have a single antenna. For establishing
the connection between these two transceivers, ...
Modeling of voltage source converter based HVDC transmission system in EMTP-RV
(2010-08-01)
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications include but are not limited to HVDC, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC and Wind generators and active filters. The VSC based HVDC system ...
Enhancing geothermal heat pump systems with parametric performance analyses
(2010-04-01)
Parametric performance analyses and comparison of a basic geothermal heat pump, a heat pump cycle with motor cooling/refrigerant preheating, and a heat pump cycle utilizing an economizer with respect to first law is conducted ...
Thermochemical energy storage systems: modelling, analysis and design
(2010-07-01)
Thermal energy storage (TES) is an advanced technology for storing thermal energy
that can mitigate environmental impacts and facilitate more efficient and clean energy
systems. Thermochemical TES is an emerging method ...
Second law analysis of a liquid cooled battery thermal management system for hybrid and electric vehicles
(2010-08-01)
As hybrid and electric vehicles continue to evolve there is a need for better battery
thermal management systems (BTMS), which maintain uniformity of operating
temperature of the batteries in the vehicles. This thesis ...
Design and Optimization of Intelligent PI Controllers (Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy) for HVDC Transmission System
(2010-08-01)
This thesis deals with enhancing the performance of Fuzzy Logic (FL) based PI controllers for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems (HVDC) by optimizing the key parameters i.e. membership functions (MFs) and ...
Analytical model for force prediction when machining metal matrix composites
(2010-09-01)
Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) offer several thermo-mechanical advantages over standard materials and alloys which make them better candidates in different applications. Their light weight, high stiffness, and strength have ...
Study of an internal combustion engine to burn hydrogen fuel and backfire elimination using a carburetor fuel delivery method
(2010-04-01)
Hydrogen appears to be a clean and sustainable fuel for transportation vehicles, including internal combustion engine vehicles. In this research, a 1986 GMC Sierra truck with a 350CID 5.7L V8, 4 barrel carbureted Chevrolet ...
Simulation of voltage source converter based shunt active filter in EMTP‐RV
(2010-08-01)
The deterioration in power quality due to the increase in non linear loads has sparked a new interest
in the filtering techniques used in transmission and distribution systems. Unlike passive filters, active
filters are ...
Model predictive control of wheeled mobile robots
(2010-12-01)
The control of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) has gained a lot of attention
in the field of robotics over the past few decades as WMRs provide an increased range of
motion resulting in a larger workspace. This ...
