Investigation Of Auxiliary Winding Harmonic Resonance Phenomena In Single Phase Induction Motors, Gaurav Singh
Investigation Of Auxiliary Winding Harmonic Resonance Phenomena In Single Phase Induction Motors, Gaurav Singh
All Theses
In recent years, the proliferation of single phase power electronics based loads has given rise to a number of power quality issues in the power grid. Harmonics in voltage and current waveforms are one of the biggest problems in this family of power quality issues. Until some years back, power system utilities did not consider harmonics due to small single phase loads to be a big problem. In fact, only large loads were considered as potential hotspots for power quality problems. However, the advent of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), personal computers and consumer electronic devices, which utilize rectifier front ends, …
Performance Evaluation Of Video Streaming In An Infrastructure Mesh Based Vehicle Network, Sajindra Pradhananga
Performance Evaluation Of Video Streaming In An Infrastructure Mesh Based Vehicle Network, Sajindra Pradhananga
All Theses
Most next-generation wireless networks are expected to support video stream-
ing which constitutes the bulk of traffic on the Internet. This thesis evaluates the
performance of video streaming in a vehicle network with an infrastructure wireless
mesh network (WMN) backhaul. Several studies have investigated video quality per-
formance primarily in single hop wireless networks and static WMNs. This thesis is
based on those studies and conducts the study in relation to a network where the
multi-hop features of the mesh network and mobility of the streaming clients may
have substantial impact on the perceived video quality in the network.

Impedance-Based Fault Location Methods For Transmission Line Connecting Wind Farm Plants, Chaoqi Ji
Impedance-Based Fault Location Methods For Transmission Line Connecting Wind Farm Plants, Chaoqi Ji
All Theses
With an increasing capacity of wind power installed in the world, the impact of wind generation during fault condition has been studied. Wind plants equipped with induction generator results in a different fault behavior in transmission networks. In this paper, the validation of existing impedance-based fault location methods are performed on a transmission line connecting wind plant equipped with three different types of induction generators. This work is based on the simulation in real-time digital simulator (RTDS).
Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG), wound-rotor induction generator (WRIG) and doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) are the three common generators used for wind power plants. …
Fault Analysis Of An Unbalanced Distribution System With Distributed Generation, Parimal Saraf
Fault Analysis Of An Unbalanced Distribution System With Distributed Generation, Parimal Saraf
All Theses
In recent years there has been a lot of emphasis on renewable power integration due to environmental issues and to lower the dependence on fossil fuels. The presence of renewable sources in the distribution systems adds complexity to the calculation of the power flows and hence has a direct impact on the short circuit calculations, protection and control. The presence of unbalance in distribution systems worsens the situation since the three phase voltages and currents are no longer equal in magnitude and 120 degrees phase shifted.
This thesis involves a fault study in a 14-bus distribution system with integrated wind …
A Person Following Algorithm For Use With A Single Forward Facing Rgb-D Camera On A Mobile Robot, Sean Ficht
A Person Following Algorithm For Use With A Single Forward Facing Rgb-D Camera On A Mobile Robot, Sean Ficht
All Theses
This thesis examines the problem of person following. A person following algorithm can be separated into two distinct parts: the detection and tracking of a target and the actual following of a target. This thesis focuses mainly on the detection and tracking of a target person. For the purposes of this thesis a simple robot control architecture is used. The robot moves to follow the target in a straight line. No path planning is considered when executing robot movement.
This thesis aims to accomplish three tasks. First, the system should be able to track and follow a target when no …
Modelling And Characterization Of Magnetic Microfibers, Harshwardhan Karve
Modelling And Characterization Of Magnetic Microfibers, Harshwardhan Karve
All Theses
Polymer fibers of varying microfluidic properties can be fabricated in a lab setting. Fibers coated with paramagnetic particles act like slender paramagnetic beams. These fiber moves in a magnetic field. Thus polymer fibers coated with paramagnetic particles can be used as actuators in various microfluidic applications, such as DNA separation, droplet manipulation and liquid transport. In order to use the fibers as actuators, it is necessary to model the fiber and develop control strategies.
A static model of the paramagnetic fiber based on energy methods is presented in [1]. The model relies on a demagnetizing factors approximation to determine the …
