Load Dynamic Performance Sensitivity Analysis with respect to End-Use Motor Characteristics and Distribution Feeder Networks
(2010-05-15)Motor dynamics sensitivity analysis with respect to end-use motor characteristics (inertia, load torque profile, electrical parameters) is presented in this thesis. Mechanical data of motors play a very important role ... -
Localization of Forced Oscillation - A Model Based Approach
(2023)The electricity grid is one of the most impressive engineering feats of the modern era. It enables power transmission from a variety of generation facilities to end users over long distances. It provides electricity to ... -
Locational Effects of Variability of Power Generation and Loads on Total Cost of Power Systems
(2015)In this thesis locational prices associated with power injection variability are introduced. Using a probabilistic DC optimal power flow (DC-OPF), the sensitivity of uncertainty in injected power on system cost is calculated. ... -
Machine Learning Approach to Event Detection for Load Monitoring
(2019)Today’s Electricity market is highly interconnected. The actions of customers, transmission and distribution systems, generation systems, markets, and service providers are correlated. The dynamic stability of the grid ... -
Maximizing Throughput of Power-Constrained Multi-Core Processors Manufactured with Unreliable CNFETs
(2011-05-15)Silicon is used in making transistors conventionally but scaling of silicon if getting difficult with time.Scaling of silicon has become difficult lately.Without scaling we won?t have more transistors on chip every year ... -
MEASURING D? AND X ? IN THE HSX EDGE
(2013-05-19)Stellarator design has substantially improved over the past decade, but stellarator edge physics, especially in terms of heat and particle exhaust, is still not well-understood. Codes such as EMC3-EIRENE [8] are being ... -
Metamorphic Testing and its Application on Hardware Fault-Tolerance
(2011-05-15)In testing, people normally use the ?golden model? to judge the correctness of the tested unit. However, in some cases the golden model is difficult to produce, and in some cases the outputs do not need to exactly match ... -
METHODS AND ANALYSIS OF THE HSX TRANSMISSION LINE WITH SMOOTH-WALL AND PERTURBED-WALL LAUNCHERS
(2013-12-22)Gaussian beams are electromagnetic waves with Gaussian distribution amplitudes in the transverse directions and are important for electron cyclotron heating (ECRH) in many plasma fusion experiments. Systems that have the ... -
Microgrid Energy Management System
(2015-12-18)The concept of microgrid is emerging to be a viable approach to integrate various types of electricity sources and storage devices within or close to load locations. While the fundamental technical features of microgrids ... -
Microwave beamforming for non-invasive patient-specific hyperthermia treatment of pediatric brain cancer
(2011-05-15)We present a numerical study of an array-based microwave beamforming approach for non-invasive hyperthermia treatment of pediatric brain tumors. The transmit beamformer is designed to achieve localized heating?that is,to ... -
Model of Two-Phase Motor and Compressor for FIDVR Analysis
(2017-05-10)The main focus of this research is dynamic load modeling for Fault Induced Delayed Voltage Recovery (FIDVR). FIDVR is the phenomenon whereby the system voltage remains at uncontrolled reduced levels for several seconds ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Air Conditioner Motors and Investigation of Cascaded Stalling
(2009-12-15)Air conditioner (A/C) motor stalling is considered as one of the main reasons for the occurrence of delayed voltage recovery events leading to voltage collapse. In recent years, the phenomenon of Fault-Induced Delayed ... -
Modeling Consumer Adoption of Alternative-Fuel Vehicles In Dane County, Wisconsin
(2011-05-15)With the rapid development of technology and increase in human activities, the existing resources have been consumed at unprecedented speed, which also gives rise to the growing environmental concerns. For instance, there ... -
MODULAR DESIGN OF HIGH-THROUGHPUT, LOW-LATENCY SORTING UNITS
(2012-05-20)High-throughput and low-latency sorting is a key requirement in many applications that deal with large amounts of data. Searching and highenergy physics systems require a considerable number of sorting units. The particle ... -
Movement Compensation in Magnetoencephalography Analysis
(2011-05-15)EVOKED response data in magneto-encephalography (MEG) typically has a very low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). To address this problem, in the course of an experiment stimuli are periodically applied to a subject dozens of ... -
Multiple View Image Denoising
(2009-12-15)A pinhole camera (large depth of field) image capture is essential in many computer vision applications such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, 3D reconstruction, video surveillance. For these applications obtaining ... -
Natural Character Recognition Using Image Processing Techniques
(2013-05-19)If we examine our environment we will recognize symbols that we commonly use in both language and numerical systems. Based on this simple observation it has been claimed that there exists a relationship between how often ... -
Near Terahertz Silicon Conductivity Measurements via High-Q Resonant Cavity
(2010-09-01)The electrical properties of many materials are not well characterized at frequencies in the near Terahertz regime. As the applications of Terahertz radiation are multiplying, the lack of a good model for the behavior ... -
