A reliability-aware framework for service-based software development
(2017-01-01)
It is becoming common to see software applications taking advantage of web services available publicly to meet their needs, rather than developing an in-house solution. This introduces the problem where failures can occur ...
Optimal power minimization in two-way relay network with imperfect channel state information
(2010-08-01)
We study a two-way amplify and forward relay network with two transceivers which
communicate through a network of nr relays while there is no direct link between the two
transceivers. Each relay is equipped with a single ...
Energy ans exergy analysis of biomass co-firing in pulverized coal power generation
(2011-04-01)
Biomass co-firing with coal exhibits great potential for large scale utilization of biomass
energy in the near future. In the present work, energy and exergy analyses are carried out
for a co-firing based power generation ...
Power-optimal network beamforming in single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay networks
(2015-09-01)
In this thesis, we consider a single-carrier asynchronous two-way relay network, where the relays employ amplify-and-forward (AF) signaling in a multiple access broadcast channel (MABC) protocol to enable a bi-directional ...
Novel intelligent control techniques in solar-based energy harvesting systems
(2015-10-01)
The sun is considered a precious source of energy. Much research has been done to increase our usage from solar energy since it is a renewable source and, most importantly, it is free and green. However in order to use ...
Monte-Carlo-simulation-based performance analysis of the heat transfer process in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl Cycle.
(2014-08-01)
As a crucial step in nuclear-based hydrogen production based on Cu-Cl cycle, the performance analysis of heat transfer process is of paramount importance. However, as a newly built system, the major obstacle of applying ...
Development, analysis and life cycle assessment of integrated systems for hydrogen production based on the copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle
(2013-08-01)
The energy carrier hydrogen is expected to help solve many energy challenges we are facing today. Thermochemical water splitting using a Cu-Cl cycle, linked with renewable energy sources and/or the Generation IV nuclear ...
Time-frequency analysis techniques for non-intrusive load monitoring
(2016-10-01)
The work
in this thesis examines time-frequency analysis techniques and in particular the wavelet
transform to extract the features contained within the electrical load signals. A novel approach
that is based on wavelet ...
Design and Optimization of Intelligent PI Controllers (Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy) for HVDC Transmission System
(2010-08-01)
This thesis deals with enhancing the performance of Fuzzy Logic (FL) based PI controllers for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems (HVDC) by optimizing the key parameters i.e. membership functions (MFs) and ...
Simulation of voltage source converter based shunt active filter in EMTP‐RV
(2010-08-01)
The deterioration in power quality due to the increase in non linear loads has sparked a new interest
in the filtering techniques used in transmission and distribution systems. Unlike passive filters, active
filters are ...
