  • General pole number model for the brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Boger, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    The Brush less Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM) has the potential to be a more cost effective replacement for conventional induction or synchronous machine drives. The BDFM has two stator windings: a power winding and a control winding. An electronic power converter of variable voltage and frequency is connected to the control...

  • Renewable Energy in the Pacific Northwest - Technical and Economic Analysis of 100% Renewable Portfolios, including Seasonality Impacts and Potential Applications of Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Harpool, Scott
    Abstract:
    Renewable electrical energy sources are relatively easy to integrate at moderate penetrations, utilizing a combination of technical and market methods to increase grid flexibility. However, integrating high renewable portfolios is more challenging, and the optimal combination of resources will vary depending on the features of specific geographic areas. This study...

  • Hardware design and protection issues in an AC/AC converter

    Creator:
    Faveluke, Alex
    Abstract:
    An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in the field. All hardware needed to start and run...

  • Development of leadership and design skills among ECE juniors and graduate students

    Creator:
    Luo, Ding
    Abstract:
    Engineering students spend a significant amount of their undergraduate careers focused on technical theory and practice. This intensive student prepares them for their technical challenges in the future. This training is so intense that often the more 'soft skills' such as communication, leadership, design, and troubleshooting are left out or...

  • Radiation tolerance of magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers

    Creator:
    Ren, Fanghui
    Abstract:
    In the next decade, technology trends--smaller dimension, lower voltage, higher operating frequency--introduce new technical considerations and challenges for radiation effects in integrated circuits. Semiconductor based circuits and traditional dynamic random-access memories will malfunction when exposed to extreme environments, such as space and nuclear reactor. The mechanisms for radiation effect are...

  • Network coding in relay networks

    Creator:
    Alban, Eduardo
    Abstract:
    Transmission over wireless networks presents multiple technical challenges due to noise, interference, fading, power constraints and bandwidth limitation. Different solutions have been propposed to overcome these issues and some of them are treated here. Cooperative diversity has been proposed as an implementation for networks where terminals are restricted to using...

  • DC/AC Stability of In-Ga-Zn-O Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Zhou, Fan
    Abstract:
    The electrical stability of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thinfilmtransistors (TFTs) is investigated for flat-panel display applications. Althoughproducts incorporating a-IGZO TFT backplanes are already commercially available,e.g., iMac with 5K retina display, technical challenges need to be addressed for nextgenerationapplications, e.g., active-matrix organic light-emitting diode displays.Device stability is one crucial issue. The...

  • Printed Nanocomposite Devices and Flexible Electronics for Humidity Sensing

    Creator:
    Ajithkumar, Amritha
    Abstract:
    The thesis focuses on the development of a novel printed resistive humidity sensor and integrated flexible electronics for an RFID-enabled humidity sensing platform. We explored a hybrid nanocomposite material for humidity sensing consisting of carbon nanomaterials, conductive polymer and cellulose polymer that undergoes resistance change in response to humidity change....

  • Pattern recognition of speech using hybrid computer feature extraction

    Creator:
    Herr, Alan Jack
    Abstract:
    Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations have been solved and are well documented in both the contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information content of speech. The work...

  • ECDSA optimizations on ARM processor for a NIST curve over GF(2m)

    Creator:
    Turan, Eda
    Abstract:
    The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is one of the most popular algorithms to digitally sign streams or blocks of data. In this thesis we concentrate on porting and optimizing the ECDSA on the ARM7 processor for a particular NIST curve over GF(2[superscript m]). The selected curve is a...
