Experimental investigation and analyses of continuous type hybrid photoelectrochemical hydrogen production systems
(2016-01-01)
Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy carrier that may become one of the key pillars to support the future CO2-free energy infrastructure. When used in fuel cells, H2 is converted to water and it gives little or zero exhaust ...
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the
model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking
and the active roll ...
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 ...
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 ...
Design and implementation of an inductive power transfer system for wireless charging of future electric transportation
(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. ...
Sparse signal representation based algorithms with application to ultrasonic array imaging
(2016-06-01)
We address one- and two-layer ultrasonic array imaging. We use an array of transducers to inspect the internal structure of a given specimen. In the case of one-layer imaging we also address the problem of mode conversion. ...
