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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Advancements in classroom technology have resulted in new types of data collection in educational settings. Along with improvements in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, this educational data can ...

This thesis presents a systematic end-to-end design procedure for electromagnetic metasurfaces. Metasurfaces are electrically thin (and often planar) transformers for electromagnetic fields. A designer aims to construct a ...
