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 ...
Analysis of the thermal hydraulics of a multiphase oxygen production reactor in the Cu-Cl cycle
(2016-06-01)
In the thermochemical water splitting process by Cu-Cl cycle, oxygen gas is produced by an endothermic thermolysis process in a three-phase reactor. In this thesis, the required heat for the thermolysis process is provided ...
Investigation of energy storage options for thermal management in hybrid electric vehicles
(2013-01-01)
Electric and hybrid electric vehicles could have a significant role in the sustainable transportation. Higher power density lead to extra heat generation and thermal runaway in the Li-ion cells. Therefore, a successful ...
Risk-modeling tools for designing resilient micro energy grids
(2019-03-01)
Micro energy grid (MEG) is widely used to meet the combined electricity, heating, cooling and natural gas demands for numerous customers’ types. Design of MEGs were extensively introduced in numerous articles, however ...
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 ...
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 ...
Modeling, analysis, simulation and real-time hardware in-the-loop implementation of hybrid/electric vehicles’ powertrain
(2019-03-01)
This thesis investigates modeling, analysis and simulation of propulsion system in HEVs/EVs with particular emphasis on transient modeling. To achieve that, a novel complete simulation model on PSIM platform has been ...
Miniaturization of features in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices for user-friendly testing and diagnosis using small sample volumes
(2019-04-01)
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) are a promising platform for analytical testing, particularly for medical diagnosis. One of the main advantages of µPADs is the capacity for inexpensive, portable and ...
Pushing the limits of traditional unsupervised learning
(2018-08-01)
Unsupervised learning has important applications in extremely large data settings such as in medical, biological, social, and environmental data. Typically in these settings, copious amounts of data are collected, with the ...
