  • Analysis and control of power systems using orthogonal expansions

    Creator:
    Fernandes, Stephen Ronald
    Abstract:
    In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on the application of orthogonal expansions to system analysis, parameter identification, model reduction and control system design. However, little research has been done in applying their useful properties to Power System analysis and control. This research attempts to make some inroads in...

  • Investigation and mitigation of the adverse effects of PWM adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Zhang, Haoran
    Abstract:
    With the introduction of high speed semiconductor power devices and the increased application of adjustable speed drives (ASDs) for efficient speed control of ac motors, there has been a growing number of costly motor-drive related process failures. It has been found that the high dv/dt and high switching frequency have...

  • Failure analysis of Muller-C-element

    Creator:
    Chew, Oonpin
    Abstract:
    Asynchronous circuits have recently been a breakthrough in many high performance computers. The concept of asynchronous circuits which started a long time ago has slowly grasped the attention of many designers. The Muller-C-element is an important control block in many asynchronous designs and therefore it is important to understand some...

  • The development of commercially viable brushless doubly-fed machines

    Creator:
    Bellagh, Robert L.
    Abstract:
    Basic operation, as well as successful development, of the Brush less Doubly-fed Machine (BDFM) has been documented, and research has turned from proof of concept and early development to the more practical direction of increased manufacturability to prove industrial viability. Previous research centered on using standard induction motor stators along...

  • Bilinear system model of the action potential of a single neuron

    Creator:
    Yahiaoui, Youcef
    Abstract:
    Neurons are characterized by an electric potential which is established between their inside and outside media. They exhibit specific voltage fluctuations, in response to strong enough current impulses, called action potentials. In this work, a bang-bang controlled bilinear system (BLS) is derived to approximate the generation of a simple neuron's...

  • Improving motion estimation with evolvable search algorithms

    Creator:
    Dill, Martin D.
    Abstract:
    Until now the topic of motion estimation, as used in video compression, has been dominated by search methodologies which are modifications of an exhaustive search. This research takes a completely new approach by applying two evolvable search algorithms, the Genetic Algorithm and the Genetic Program, to the area of motion...

  • A performance study of multithreading

    Creator:
    Kwak, Hantak
    Abstract:
    As the performance gap between processor and memory grows, memory latency will be a major bottleneck in achieving high processor utilization. Multithreading has emerged as one of the most promising and exciting techniques used to tolerate memory latency by exploiting thread-level parallelism. The question however remains as to how effective...

  • Testing and modeling of the single-phase Written-Pole Motor

    Creator:
    Chis, Lucian
    Abstract:
    A relatively new development in the electric machines field has been the written-pole technology, of which the latest product is the large single-phase electric motor, the single phase Written-Pole Motor (WPM). The WPM is a synchronous, permanent-magnet single-phase motor having a weak rotor cage for start-up which in addition exhibits...

  • Processor memory traffic characteristics for on-chip cache

    Creator:
    Ho, Jeremy Yui Luen
    Abstract:
    The motivation of this research is to study different cache designs for on-chip caches that improve processor performance and at the same time minimize the degradation to system performance caused by an increase in the processor memory traffic. As VLSI technology advances we can have bigger and more complex on-chip...
