Investigation of a flexible printed circuit board MEMS electrostatic field sensor
(2023-01-04)
This thesis details a novel variation on a previous MEMS electrostatic field sensor by the application of a new material and fabrication method. Electrostatic field sensors are required that can operate in industrial or ...
Hybrid and parallel-computing methods for optimization of power systems with electromagnetic transient simulators
(2023-03-29)
This thesis introduces new methods for using electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulators
to efficiently optimize controllers of the power electronic converters in power systems with
complicated dynamic behavior. This work ...
Data collection using deep reinforcement learning for serious games
(2023-03-29)
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) often occurs prior to the more serious condition of dementia and early detection of MCI is an important but challenging task because of its indistinct symptoms. Work has been done developing ...
Battery energy storage systems for primary frequency regulation in power systems
(2023-03-29)
Due to the increasing deployment of renewable energy resources, the proportion of conventional
power plants is declining. As a result, reduction of frequency-regulation capability
has become a significant challenge to ...
Methods for acceleration, and stability assessment of single-rate and multi-rate electromagnetic transient simulations
(2023-03-29)
This thesis aims to investigate methods for speeding single-rate EMT simulations of large power networks as well as develop a rigorous analytical approach for assessing the stability of multi-rate EMT simulations.
Firstly, ...
Extending the frequency bandwidth of transient stability simulation using dynamic phasors
(2023-02-14)
Transient stability is an important measure in assessing a system's overall stability. It characterizes the ability of a power system to maintain stability following major disturbances. Modern power systems whose dynamics ...
Analysis of an enclosure for a MEMS DC electric field sensor
(2023-03-20)
MEMS DC electric field sensors are successful candidates in the field of monitoring power utility infrastructure. Their delicate size and nature require them to be placed in a protective enclosure when used in an outdoor ...
