Probabilistic impact of charging plug-in electric vehicles on the electric energy distribution systems
(2016-02-01)
The electric power grid including generation, transmission, and distribution system usually serving the loads in the consumer’s side through distribution transformers. Generally, increasing the demand requires increasing ...
Fault tolerant behavior of advanced control schemes of induction machine drives
(2016-01-01)
Power electronics based variable-speed drives offer energy saving solutions, providing precise control and quick response time. They are required for sensitive process control in industrial applications and other emerging ...
Compact microwave filter designs based on cavity resonators
(2016-04-01)
Cavity resonators are widely used in microwave filters and multiplexers due to their high quality factor and high power handling capability. Compact designs of these filters are important for practical applications, as ...
Performance of wide band gap switching devices in DC/DC converters of electric vehicles
(2016-10-01)
Low losses fast switching wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), are becoming viable candidates for DC/DC converters switches in the powertrain of electric vehicle (EV). ...
Utilization of thermal plasma for conversion of thermoplastic waste to oil products in a pyrolysis reaction
(2016-11-01)
Chemical recycling of waste plastics has gained attention in last decade with nearly 170 million tonnes of deposited waste plastics annually. A chemical process known as pyrolysis converts thermoplastic waste to oil products. ...
Tissue segmentation using medical image processing chain optimization
(2016-08-01)
Surveyed literature shows many segmentation algorithms using different types of optimization methods. These methods were used to minimize or maximize objective functions of entropy, similarity, clustering, contour, or ...
Predicting Bitcoin: a robust model for predicting Bitcoin price directions based on network influencers
(2016-10-01)
The ability to predict financial markets has tremendous potential to limit exposure
to risk and provide better assurances of annualized gains. In this thesis, a
model for predicting the future daily price of Bitcoin is ...
An openflow-based wireless user management system
(2016-01-01)
The degradation of the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) on wireless users is becoming a common issue for IEEE 802.11 infrastructure-based networks in crowded areas. In response, network providers usually increase coverage ...
Cooperative relay beamforming design for multi-cluster relay interference networks
(2016-08-01)
In this work, we consider a multi-cluster amplified-and-forward (AF) relay interference
network and design relay beam matrix for each cluster to maximize the minimum
signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) at ...
Design optimization of active trailer differential braking systems for car-trailer combinations
(2016-01-01)
The thesis studies active trailer differential braking (ATDB) systems to improve the lateral stability of car-trailer (CT) combinations. CT combinations exhibit unique unstable motion modes, including jack-knifing, trailer ...
