Rahimian, Mina Mashhadi (2012-10-19)Electrical machines are subject to different types of failures. Early detection of the incipient faults and fast maintenance may prevent costly consequences. Fault diagnosis of wind turbine is especially important because ...
-
Nagarajan, Ramya (2011-02-22)Currently, major power systems almost invariably operate under interconnected conditions to transfer power in a stable and reliable manner. Multi-area reliability evaluation has thus become an invaluable tool in the planning ...
-
Bassey, Ogbonnaya (2020-12-01)Electric power systems face the risk of outages due to extreme weather events, cyber-attack, human errors, and other unforeseen circumstances. A power grid that is resilient to these unfortunate events has become a consistent ...
-
Liu, Shan (2013-02-11)The effective modeling and analysis of large-scale power system disturbances especially those stemming from intentional attack represents an open engineering and research problem. Challenges stem from the need to develop ...

Pokoo-Aikins, Grace Amarachukwu (2011-10-21)With the growing interest in converting a wide variety of biomass-based feedstocks to biofuels, there is a need to develop effective procedures for the design and optimization of multi-feedstock biorefineries. The unifying ...
-
Maduike, Dumezie K. (2010-10-12)There has recently been growing interest in using physical layer network coding techniques to facilitate information transfer in wireless relay networks. The physical layer network coding technique takes advantage of the ...
-
Smith, Richard C. (2010-01-14)The purpose of this thesis is to design hardware and a control strategy for a fuel cell/battery hybrid power supply. Modern fuel cell/battery hybrid power supplies can have 2 DC/DC converters: one converter for the battery ...
-
Sahu, Abhijeet (2018-05-04)Conventional power grids are being superseded by smart grids, which have smart meters as one of the key components. Currently, for the smart metering communication, wireless technologies have predominantly replaced the ...

Liu, Shan; Mashayekh, Salman; Kundur, Deepa; Zourntos, Takis; Butler-Purry, Karen (IEEE, 2014-01-02)Security issues in cyber-physical systems are of paramount importance due to the often safety- critical nature of its associated applications. A rst step in understanding how to protect such systems requires an understanding ...
-
Wang, Lingfeng (2009-05-15)Renewable sources of energy such as wind turbine generators and solar panels have attracted much attention because they are environmentally friendly, do not consume fossil fuels, and can enhance a nation’s energy security. ...
-
Barazarte Conte, Ronald (2012-10-19)This dissertation presents a new power system transmission concept based on frequency selectivity named Multi-Frequency Power System (MFPS). This system allows for selective power transmission among terminals in an ...
-
Matic Cuka, Biljana (2014-12-17)Despite a number of economic and environmental benefits that integration of renewable distributed generation (DG) into the distribution grid brings, there are many technical challenges that arise as well. One of the most ...
-
Mena Lopez, Hugo Eduardo (2009-05-15)The purpose of this work is to develop a maximum power tracking control strategy for variable speed wind turbine systems. Modern wind turbine control systems are slow, and they depend on the design parameters of the turbine ...
-
Dworak, Jennifer Lynn (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Manufacture testing of digital integrated circuits is essential for high quality. However, exhaustive testing is impractical, and only a small subset of all possible test patterns (or test pattern pairs) may be applied. ...
-
