Security Aspects Of Smart Grid Communication, Pubudu E. Weerathunga

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

As the grid becomes highly interconnected, power protection, control, and monitoring in transmission and distribution substations are increasingly relying on digital controls and digital communication. Rapid penetrations of communication into power grid, and growing concerns about cyber security have attracted significant attention towards smart grid cyber security. Cyber security in the smart grid must be carefully designed to meet power system operation’s functional and reliability requirements.

This thesis discusses issues related to the security of power system communication and their counter measures. It focuses on development of security mechanisms for secure substation communication, and analyzes the impact of security overhead …

Energy Efficiency Analysis And Optimization On Mobile Video Wireless Delivery, Jianxin Sun

Computer and Electronics Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Micro-electronic industry has been boosting the capability of wireless mobile devices on full-scale. However, battery, as the only power source of most mobile devices, is experiencing a relatively slow development. Therefore, how to optimally utilize the limited battery energy on mobile devices under a predefined performance requirement becomes a critical issue. On the other hand, it is still unclear that how the battery capacity consumption is allocated on different working pattern of a specific video codec under various tempo-spatial scales and parameters, which has posed a design challenge on power management on multimedia communication system. Furthermore, an optimization method is …

Design And Simulation Of Interconnected H-Bridge Inverter, Samuel Muehleck

Computer Engineering

In this project, the research, design and simulation of an interconnected H-bridge single-phase inverter was explored. The inverter design was divided into three separate sections. First, a VHDL programmed CPLD was used to generate control signals for the transistors of the inverter circuit. Second, power electronics was used to create an inverter circuit to change a DC input to a 60 Hz AC output. Lastly, additional circuits were used to link the generated control signals to the MOSFET transistors of the inverter circuit. The operation of the three components was then validated with computer simulations. Results of computer simulation demonstrate …

Multi-Term Approximation To The Boltzmann Transport Equation For Electron Energy Distribution Functions In Nitrogen, Yue Feng

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

Plasma is currently a hot topic and it has many significant applications due to its composition of both positively and negatively charged particles. The energy distribution function is important in plasma science since it characterizes the ability of the plasma to affect chemical reactions, affect physical outcomes, and drive various applications. The Boltzmann Transport Equation is an important kinetic equation that provides an accurate basis for characterizing the distribution function—both in energy and space.

This dissertation research proposes a multi-term approximation to solve the Boltzmann Transport Equation by treating the relaxation process using an expansion of the electron distribution function …
