Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
(2015-01-01)
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using ...
Adaptive IEEE 802.15.4e LLDN scheduler for wireless network control systems
(2015-12-01)
An active area of research in the automotive research community is the stability of
Long Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) using active trailer steering and/or braking. These
LCVs rely on sensor data located across different ...
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)
Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ...
A study of MHD and Monte Carlo simulations of high-current plasma beams in industrial applications
(2015-12-01)
In recent years, high-current plasma beams have been widely applied in industrial applications. Computational approaches help us easily understand plasma properties. In this thesis, the high-current plasma beams are simulated ...
Design and optimization of a compliant parallel robotic surgical instrument with multifunctional forceps for minimally invasive surgery
(2015-11-01)
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) technique has seen its great success in the last few decades due to its significant advantages compared to the traditional open surgeries. This technique requires only a few 10 mm incisions ...
Experimental and theoretical investigations of magnesium-chlorine cycle and its integrated systems
(2015-01-01)
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the Mg-Cl hybrid thermochemical cycle and to develop a more cost and energy effective cycle. There are five key elements of this study: (i) modeling and simulation of the ...
Investigation of factors that influence coloration in polycarbonate based compounded plastics
(2015-08-01)
Consistently producing compounded plastics in the correct colour without making
adjustments of the colour formulation or the processing conditions is very challenging for
coloured plastics manufacturers. Conversely, the ...
Colour mismatch in compounding of plastics: processing issues and rheological effects
(2015-01-01)
Demand for plastic products is continuously growing with population increase and higher living standards. Imparting colours to plastics is a combination of art and science and plays a key role in production of attractive ...
Energy storage management and load scheduling with renewable integration
(2015-08-01)
In this dissertation, the energy storage management and load scheduling problems
are studied. The main objective is to design real-time cost-effective control policies
at a residential site with integrated renewable ...
Development and analysis of solar energy based multigeneration systems
(2015-05-01)
In this thesis three novel multigeneration energy systems are introduced based on renewable resources such as solar and wind energy. The results of the analyses show that, System 1 has a maximum energy efficiency of 43% ...
