Analysis and optimal planning of nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems for ships
Adham, Md Ibrahim (2021-06-01)Ocean-going ships are one of the sources of global GHG emissions. Several actions are being taken to reduce the GHG emissions from maritime vessels, and integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is one of them. Due ... -
Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
Khan, Md. Jamiul Alam (2022-12-01)Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ... -
Design and analysis of multiple input non-isolated DC-DC converter for fast charging station of electric vehicles
Elshora, Abdalrahman (2022-08-01)In the last decade, multi-input DC-DC converters have been studied in various research areas related to plug-in vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and renewable energy applications. They have several advantages over ... -
Design and control of resilient interconnected microgrids for reliable mass transit systems
Egan, Taylor J. G. (2019-03-01)Mass transit systems are relied on a daily basis to transport millions of passengers and bring billions of dollars' worth of economic goods to market. While some forms of mass transit rely on a fuel, electrified railway ... -
Design, analysis and validation of electrode-less plasma generator
Bondarenko, Daniel (2016-01-01)The current work investigates a method for generating plasmas without damaging electrodes. The primary objective is the creation of an electrode-less potential region (virtual cathode) through the use of electron emission ... -
Development of a knowledge base using human experience semantic network for instructive texts
Jabar, Sk Sami Al (2021-12-01)An organized knowledge base plays a vital role in retaining knowledge. Instructive text (iText) consists of a set of instructions to accomplish a task or operation. In the case of iText, storing only entities and their ... -
Development of an automated industrial painting system with optimized quality and energy consumption
Idrees, Muhammad (2023-10-01)Paint application is vital for product durability and aesthetics, whether done manually or by precise robotic systems. Manual work is error-prone and risky, while robots offer accuracy. However, programming robot trajectories ... -
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
Adegboro, Oluwabukola G. (2022-12-01)During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ... -
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
Honarmand, Negar (2015-11-01)Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ... -
Methods for optimization of neutron detector performance in nuclear power plants
Nasimi, Elnara (2018-08-01)Safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs) requires shutdown systems to mitigate design-basis accidents. Shutdown is based on measurements from in-core flux detectors. Thus, this thesis proposes a methodology for managing ... -
Modelling and real-time simulation of a modular bidirectional solid-state transformer for ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles
