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 ...
PoT: bridging IoT with phone technology
(2023-09-01)
The ”Phone of Things” (PoT) introduces an innovative integration of IoT systems with the widely available telephone network infrastructure. It repurposes underused home landlines and existing communication servers, weaving ...
Modelling of radioactive particle resuspension after a dirty bomb event
(2023-12-01)
The primary hazard of a Dirty Bomb emanates not from the initial detonation but from the subsequent re-suspension of deposited radioactive particles. Although radiological contamination is substantial on surfaces initially, ...
Hot particle dosimetry using a wall-less tissue equivalent proportional counter
(2023-05-01)
Highly radioactive specks of irradiated nuclear fuel or activated material, colloquially known as 'hot particles', can enter the workplace or external environment from nuclear power plant operations such as refurbishment ...
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 ...
