Maximizing efficiency of solar energy harvesting systems supplying a microgrid using an embedded system
(2019-12-01)
Due to the high initial capital cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels and their low conversion efficiency, it is imperative to operate the PV system at its maximum power point (MPP). In this context, the goal in this thesis is ...
Towards sustainable machining of difficult-to-cut materials using nano-cutting fluids
(2018-05-01)
Providing environmentally friendly conditions and optimizing energy consumption are two essential requirements in order to achieve sustainable machining processes. One of the major sustainable machining concerns is the ...

This thesis proposes and investigates a new generation of photoelectrochemical cells for solar hydrogen production based on high temperature Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells. Therefore, a set of experiments are designed to ...
Development and modeling of novel battery thermal management systems for electric and hybrid electric vehicles
(2019-04-01)
Thermal management system is necessary to control the operating temperature of the lithium ion batteries in battery packs for electrical and hybrid electrical vehicles. This thesis studies, develops and models novel battery ...
Experimental investigation of an integrated solar driven wastewater treatment system for trigeneration applications
(2018-08-01)
Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
An AFE based embedded system for physiological computing
(2019-11-01)
The present hospital-based health care system will be burdened because of the growing aging population. Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To ...
Power-optimal MIMO two-way relay networks
(2018-04-01)
In this dissertation, we study MIMO two-way relay networks consisting of singleantenna users which wish to exchange information with the help of multiple multiantenna relays. The problem we aim to solve is to minimize the ...
Design and development of advanced control techniques for an unmanned ground vehicle
(2018-11-01)
Recent years have seen considerable progress towards the goal of autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles which became essential for conducting military operations. These autonomous vehicles have the capability to operate ...
Modeling, analysis, simulation and real-time hardware in-the-loop implementation of hybrid/electric vehicles’ powertrain
(2019-03-01)
This thesis investigates modeling, analysis and simulation of propulsion system in HEVs/EVs with particular emphasis on transient modeling. To achieve that, a novel complete simulation model on PSIM platform has been ...
Development and investigation of integrated solar systems for hydrogen and methanol production
(2018-04-01)
Implications of climate change, in particular the negative effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion, as well as the finite nature of fossil fuels necessitate the implementation of ...
