Autonomous driving control strategies for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety system
(2023-05-01)
This study aims to develop automated driving strategies and integrated active control system for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) to enhance road transport efficiency, directional performance, and safety. ...
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
(2023-05-01)
This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow structures at the rear of three-dimensional bluff bodies
(2023-05-01)
Flows around bluff bodies have complex structures, which create drag, surface contamination and stability issues for transportation systems. The standard Ahmed body (SAB) is a simplified representative three-dimensional ...
Investigation into the stability of low-inertia micro-grids
(2023-05-01)
This work examines the stability of low inertia micro-grids (MGs). The lack of inertia in such power electronics dominated grid is a pressing matter that directly impacts its operation and stability. The investigated MG ...
Neutronic characterization of a Molybdenum-99-producing CANDU fuel bundle and implications for reactivity-device worth and refuelling strategies
(2023-08-01)
Operating CANDU reactors can potentially produce significant quantities of Molybdenum-99 due to their ability to be refuelled online, high thermal neutron flux and fuel-design flexibility. A Molybdenum-producing bundle ...
A contactless and non-intrusive current measurement technique for low and medium voltage AC power systems
(2023-08-01)
The real-time state of current is essential to precisely monitor and control the AC power systems. It is also crucial for detecting various types of faults that may lead to long duration and wide area outages and affect ...
Addressing electrode-specific degradation in the production and performance of electrochemical energy storage systems
(2023-08-01)
This thesis addresses the pressing issue of sustainable development and climate change by examining the life cycle (degradation) of electrochemical energy storage devices. Specifically, it investigates a green synthesis ...
Modified wavelet-based pulse width modulation technique for cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter
(2023-08-01)
Power electronics (PE) converters are crucial for providing a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solutions for integrating renewable energy sources (RES) into the electrical grid. Over the years, many converter ...
Design and development of reusable feature-based next-generation embedded software
(2023-12-01)
The emergence of next-generation embedded systems, emphasized by their shortened life cycles, necessitates an urgent shift towards agile software design and development. The objective is to achieve timely product delivery ...
