Transactive energy control of electric energy storage to mitigate the impact of transportation electrification in distribution systems
(2016-11-01)
The adoption of Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) as a substitute to gasoline-based
internal combustion engine vehicles represent a major change in the transportation
sector. Typically, PEVs uses electricity to charge the ...
Uncertainty quantification for safety verification applications in nuclear power plants
(2016-11-01)
There is an increasing interest in computational reactor safety analysis to systematically replace the conservative calculations by best estimate calculations augmented by quantitative uncertainty analysis methods. This ...
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 ...
Development of thermoplastic foams with heterogeneous cellular structures for acoustic applications
(2016-08-01)
Manufacture of heterogeneous thermoplastic foams is of great interest to damp low frequency noise in transportation and building industries. Most of the fabrication methods reported either use cumbersome batch processes ...

(2016-08-01)
The motivation of this thesis was to formulate clear design guidelines for fabrication and control of an efficient series-series resonant inductive power transfer (SS-RIPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging ...
Analysis and evaluation of transactive energy control in active distribution systems
(2016-10-01)
The electric power distribution system is experiencing significant operational changes due to the integration of plug-in electric vehicles and intermittent distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar photovoltaics. ...
Design and optimization of dielectric resonator antenna arrays based on substrate integrated waveguide technology for millimeter-wave applications
(2016-05-01)
With the lower frequency bands heavily crowded, the millimeter wave (MMW) frequency band has attracted a lot of attention, offering a wide range of applications. It also introduces new challenges to the research community. ...
Data analysis in electric power system embedded with solar PVs
(2016)
Conventional source of energy are overly dependent on fossil fuel which tend to face several challenges such as the depleting of fossil fuel, environmental threat and human health. To deal with such challenges, solar PV ...
Design and implementation of a component-based distributed system for text mining in social networks
(2016)
This report presents the design and implementation of a component-based distributed system for text mining in social networks. The system consists of three main types of components, data collection, data processing and ...
