Design and control of FACTS-based high performance microgrid
(2015-12-01)
The current power grid introduces many limitations and challenges in a world that is heavily dependent on electricity. Many government agencies, utility companies, researchers and engineers in the electric power industry ...
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 ...
An advanced electrospinning method of fabricating nanofibrous patterned architectures with controlled deposition and desired alignment
(2015-11-18)
We introduce a versatile advanced method of electrospinning for fabricating various kinds of nanofibrous patterns along with desired alignment, controlled amount of deposition and locally variable density into 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 ...
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% ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of novel phase change materials for thermal applications
(2015-08-01)
An experimental investigation is conducted to test the thermal properties, behaviour and characteristics of R134a clathrates with additives, as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs’ charging characteristics are analysed and ...
Optimal resource sharing and spectrum leasing in energy efficient relay-assisted networks
(2015-07-01)
Assuming a bidirectional relay assisted network, we first study the problem of optimal resource sharing between two transceiver pairs. One of the pairs, referred to as the primary pair, owns the spectral resources while ...
