Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan
Fault Detection And Classification Of A Single Phase Inverter Using Artificial Neural Networks, Ayomikun Samuel Orukotan
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The detection of switching faults of power converters or the Circuit Under Test (CUT) is real-time important for safe and efficient usage. The CUT is a single-phase inverter. This thesis presents two unique methods that rely on backpropagation principles to solve classification problems with a two-layer network. These mathematical algorithms or proposed networks are able to diagnose single, double, triple, and multiple switching faults over different iterations representing range of frequencies. First, the fault detection and classification problems are formulated as neural network-based classification problems and the neural network design process is clearly described. Then, neural networks are trained over …

Development Of A Sensing System For Underground Optic Fiber Cable Conduit Mapping, Sherif Bakr
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The motivation of this research is to obtain an accurate three-dimensional (3D) layout of an underground conduit, which may be beneficial to optic fiber cable installers and engineers. A newly designed algorithm for 3D position tracking with the help of an inertial sensor and an encoder has been developed. Two types of representations (Euler angle and Quaternion) for orientation and rotation are also introduced, followed by several data pre-processing procedures. A sensing fusion method is utilized to overcome the accumulated errors introduced by the sensor drifting. Considering the application of 3D underground duct mapping in this research, a sensing system …
