System integration and optimization of copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle with various options for hydrogen production
(2013-08-01)
The Copper-Chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle is one of the most attractive alternative thermochemical cycles for clean hydrogen production due to its lower temperature requirement and better overall ...
Distributed policy-based management framework for wireless sensor networks.
(2014-06-01)
Policy-Based Management Systems (PBMS) are becoming a critical component of any information technology environment, due to their ability to abstract hardware complexity from their users. Policy-based systems exist in such ...
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 ...
Energy storage management and load scheduling with renewable integration
(2015-08-01)
In this dissertation, the energy storage management and load scheduling problems
are studied. The main objective is to design real-time cost-effective control policies

Designing power aware wireless sensor networks leveraging software modeling techniques
(2014-03-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are typically used to monitor specific phenomena and gather the data to a gateway node, where the data is further processed. WSNs nodes have limited power resources, which require developing ...
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 ...
Design synthesis of articulated heavy vehicles with active trailer steering systems
(2010-04-01)
A new design synthesis method for articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) with an active trailer steering (ATS) system is examined and evaluated. Due to their heavy weights, large sizes, and complex configurations, AHVs have ...
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 ...
Kinetics and transport phenomena in the chemical decomposition of copper oxychloride in the thermochemical Cu-CI Cycle
(2012-04-01)
The thermochemical copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle for hydrogen production
includes three chemical reactions of hydrolysis, decomposition and electrolysis. The
decomposition of copper oxychloride establishes the high-temperature ...
