This thesis presents a new way of combining non-linear optimization algorithms and electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation. In this new combination, a non-linear optimization algorithm utilizes a real-time EMT simulation ...

An electric motor drive is a power-electronic based system that is used to precisely control the position, speed or torque developed by motor. With the growing complexity of drive systems and the expansion of the use of ...

With the increased complexity of modern power systems, it may be required more than one platform to do an intended study efficiently and accurately. This research was carried out to investigate the use of co-simulation ...

This thesis studies the application of a multi-objective niched Pareto genetic algorithm on the design optimization of an electric field mill sensor. The original sensor requires resonant operation. The objective of the ...

This thesis presents the theory and development of a framework for the design of electromagnetic metasurfaces. These metasurfaces can be used to systematically transform an incident electromagnetic field into a different ...

This thesis presents an investigation into the power transmission limitations imposed on a VSC-HVdc converter by ac system strength and ac system impedance characteristics, quantified by the short circuit ratio (SCR). An ...

This thesis presents the development and implementation of the time-harmonic discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) as a robust forward solver for the contrast source inversion (CSI) and Gauss-Newton inversion (GNI) imaging ...

This thesis evaluates a series hybrid electric drivetrain design for use in parking patrol vehicles. Due to the particular attributes of this application, it is proposed that the design would improve the energy efficiency ...

In multi-tier cellular networks, user performance is largely a ected by the varying transmit powers, distances, and non-uniform tra c loads of di erent base stations (BSs) in both the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) ...

Renewable energy sources have increasingly been integrated into the power systems via inverter-based systems, as a result of the global drive toward clean energy concepts as well as the substantial advances in renewable ...
