A Novel Method For Major Harmonic Sources Identification In High Voltage Transmission Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Due to the proliferation of high-voltage power electronics devices and nonlinear loads connected to power systems, the penetration of produced harmonics into power transmission networks to pollute power quality of power ...
A Hybrid Method For Identifying And Estimating Key Dynamic Parameters For Exciters, Pss And Governors Based On Event-recorded Measurements On-line Measurements
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Following the power market deregulation, power systems have become more complex and are found to be consistently operating closer to their stability limits. Power system dynamic modeling and studies which provide significant ...
Light Trapping And Absorption Enhancement For High Performance Solar Cells And Infrared Photodetectors
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
This dissertation presents the work on light trapping and absorption enhancement in solar cells and infrared photodetectors. Hemispherical microstructure based omni-directional anti reflection (Omni-AR) coating has been ...
Distribution Network Contingency Analysis And Contingency Detection With The Consideration Of Load Models
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The electric utility market environment has changed quite radically during recent years due to the process of deregulation. This has changed the asset management towards a capital controlled business where owners are ...
Online Learning Algorithms For Differential Dynamic Games And Optimal Control
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Optimal control deals with the problem of finding a control law for a given system that a certain optimality criterion is achieved. It can be derived using Pontryagin's maximum principle (a necessary condition), or by ...
Development Of SU-8 And PDMS Miniatured Boats And Flotillas
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
In this work, we developed miniaturized SU-8 and PDMS miniaturized boats and flotillas, and explored their designs, fabrication, actuation, motions and driving mechanisms. Like large-scale boats and flotillas, these ...
Dynamic Scene Interpretation And Understanding From Two Views
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Interpretation of a static or dynamic scene starts by segmenting the scene followed by recognition. Our work concentrates on the general problem of segmenting and recognizing animate and inanimate objects in a scene captured ...
An Identifier-tracking Based Model Reference Adaptive Control Without The Knowledge Of Relative Degree
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
The purpose of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) is to create a controller with adjustable parameters to obtain the desired response from a reference model. One of the basic assumptions in MRAC is that the relative ...
The Complex Gaussian Scale Mixtures Of Complex Wavelet Coefficients And Applications
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
In this thesis, the complex Gaussian scale mixture (CGSM), which is an extension of the Gaussian scale mixture (GSM) for real-valued random variables to the complex case, is presented to model the complex wavelet coefficients. ...
Reliability Of Advanced Dielectrics In Gate Oxide And Device Level Packaging In MEMS
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The focus of this work is to study the feasibility, reliability and applicability of advanced dielectrics in both Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) gate oxide and device level packaging for ...
