Data Driven Enhanced Vsg Control For Microgrids, Sophia A. Strathman, Oroghene Oboreh-Snapps, Jonathan W. Kimball
Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T
This research explores the fusion of deep reinforcement learning and virtual synchronous generator control in a bid to enhance microgrid operations. Microgrids typically consist of multiple inverter-based distributed generators (IBDGs) connected in parallel to mismatched line impedances. This results in unequal reactive power sharing which negatively impacts the performance of IBDGs in microgrids. To achieve enhanced control, a solution utilizing deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is proposed. DRL agents are trained to control variables in each IBDG using a well-designed reward function capable of achieving the following objectives: 1.) ensure output voltage of each IBDG remains within the designated operating boundary …

The Deconstructed 555 Timer And Application Circuits For Interactive Educational Experience, Preston Carroll, Benjamin Cuebas, Justin Fausto, Rohit Dua
Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T
The Deconstructed 555 Timer and Application Circuits for Interactive Educational Experience offers interactional implementation of three fully discrete 555 Timer example circuits. The research project goal was to gain knowledge of the 555 Timer by deconstructing the device down to the component level. Three independent example application circuits, which showcase the application versatility of the 555 Timer in different modes, include Monostable, Astable, and Bistable circuits. Each mode has a hardware interface that can be used to adjust the operation of the 555 Timer allowing for a full interactive experience. The user can observe the differences in the internal working …

Experiential Learning In Rf Circuit Design, Benjamin Cuebas
Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T
This research project will explore the intricacies of Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry design, demonstrating acquired insights by constructing a discrete RF amplifier with digital input attenuation control. The study will delve into a multitude of RF topics such as serial communication, digital data storage, transmission line theory, impedance matching, network parameters, amplifier classes, and Smith chart analysis. The RF amplifier will be designed to have an approximately 15dB input gain/attenuation digitally controlled by an external microcontroller. The device will operate at 50 MHz, in the VHF frequency range, with an input and output impedance of 50 . A network analyzer …
Realtime Sensor For Detecting Gallium Infiltration Attack, Peter Holtmann
Realtime Sensor For Detecting Gallium Infiltration Attack, Peter Holtmann
Undergraduate Research Conference at Missouri S&T
The proposed research is to create a real-time sensor for detecting aluminum degradation due to gallium infiltration attacks, specifically in military vehicles and structures. Gallium acts as a poison to aluminum, leading to catastrophic failures of structural integrity. The proliferation of educational material on this subject raises security concerns for the United States Military, where nearly all structures utilize aluminum due to its high-strength, light-weight profile. Utilizing Fiber-Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors and machine learning techniques, this research aims to develop a real-time sensor to detect these attacks.
