Three dimensional heterogeneous finite element method for static multi-group neutron diffusion
(2010-08-01)
Because current full-core neutronic-calculations use two-group neutron diffusion and rely on homogenizing fuel assemblies, reconstructing pin powers from such a calculation is an elaborate and not very accurate process; ...
Neutron production in a spherical phantom aboard the international space station
(2010-12-01)
Since the beginning of space exploration in last century, several kinds of devices from passive and active dosimeters to radiation environment monitors have been used to measure radiation levels onboard different space ...
Design and Optimization of Intelligent PI Controllers (Fuzzy and Neuro-Fuzzy) for HVDC Transmission System
(2010-08-01)
This thesis deals with enhancing the performance of Fuzzy Logic (FL) based PI controllers for High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Systems (HVDC) by optimizing the key parameters i.e. membership functions (MFs) and ...
Simulation of voltage source converter based shunt active filter in EMTP‐RV
(2010-08-01)
The deterioration in power quality due to the increase in non linear loads has sparked a new interest
in the filtering techniques used in transmission and distribution systems. Unlike passive filters, active
filters are ...
Modeling of voltage source converter based HVDC transmission system in EMTP-RV
(2010-08-01)
Voltage Source Converter (VSC) applications include but are not limited to HVDC, Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices such as STATCOM, SSSC, UPFC and Wind generators and active filters. The VSC based HVDC system ...
Enhancing geothermal heat pump systems with parametric performance analyses
(2010-04-01)
Parametric performance analyses and comparison of a basic geothermal heat pump, a heat pump cycle with motor cooling/refrigerant preheating, and a heat pump cycle utilizing an economizer with respect to first law is conducted ...
Powertrain technology and cost assessment of battery electric vehicles
(2010-04-01)
This thesis takes EV from the late 90’s as a baseline, assess the capability of today’s EV technology, and establishes its near-term and long-term prospects. Simulations are performed to evaluate EVs with different ...
Thermochemical energy storage systems: modelling, analysis and design
(2010-07-01)
Thermal energy storage (TES) is an advanced technology for storing thermal energy
that can mitigate environmental impacts and facilitate more efficient and clean energy
systems. Thermochemical TES is an emerging method ...
Second law analysis of a liquid cooled battery thermal management system for hybrid and electric vehicles
(2010-08-01)
As hybrid and electric vehicles continue to evolve there is a need for better battery
thermal management systems (BTMS), which maintain uniformity of operating
temperature of the batteries in the vehicles. This thesis ...
Energy use analysis and technology for electric transit buses
(2010-05-01)
Electric vehicles offer a method of transportation where the energy generation process is moved from the on-board engine to the electrical generation system. The Canadian electrical generation mix has a significant portion ...
