Towards sustainable machining of difficult-to-cut materials using nano-cutting fluids
(2018-05-01)
Providing environmentally friendly conditions and optimizing energy consumption are two essential requirements in order to achieve sustainable machining processes. One of the major sustainable machining concerns is the ...
Power-optimal MIMO two-way relay networks
(2018-04-01)
In this dissertation, we study MIMO two-way relay networks consisting of singleantenna users which wish to exchange information with the help of multiple multiantenna relays. The problem we aim to solve is to minimize the ...
Design and development of advanced control techniques for an unmanned ground vehicle
(2018-11-01)
Recent years have seen considerable progress towards the goal of autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles which became essential for conducting military operations. These autonomous vehicles have the capability to operate ...
Intelligent integration of prosumers with battery energy storage in smart distribution systems using optimal design and a transactive energy framework
(2018-06-01)
A legacy electric power distribution system is characterized by a unidirectional power flow from centralized power plants to customers. The role of these customers has been known for many years as power consumers and not ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
Conceptual development and analysis of sustainable powering options for hybrid vehicles
(2018-02-01)
Hydrogen and ammonia are the carbon-free fuels that have the potential to replace the fossil fuels in the near future. In addition, they can also act as energy carriers and storage media for many applications; particularly ...
