This thesis proposes a novel algorithm to optimize multi-modal, nonlinear, black-box objective functions for electric power system design using an electromagnetic transients (EMT) simulator. The algorithm discovers multiple ...

The thesis introduces an approach for obtaining higher level decision support information using electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation programs. In this approach, a suite of higher level driver programs (decision support ...

Pulse-width modulation methods are widely used for the synthesis of ac voltages at the terminals of a voltage-sourced converter (VSC). Traditionally sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation (SPWM) has been used. A powerful ...

Transient stability studies are required to be carried out for an efficient and secure operation of power systems. However, due to the limitations of computer memory and processing speed, handling a complete set of DAEs ...

With the roll-out of 5G in many countries e.g. South Korea, Canada, etc, the discussions on the development of 6G are overtaking the attention of both academia and industry. In comparison to 5G, 6G will bring a wider ...

Electromagnetic (EM) metasurfaces are quasi two-dimensional structures that consist of artificial “atoms”, typically referred to as meta-atoms. These meta-atoms, also known as unit cells, are small compared to the operational ...
