  • Design and Implementation of a Ride-On Car with Data Tracking for Use by Young Children with Developmental Differences

    Creator:
    Brian, Makenzie M.
    Abstract:
    This work describes the design and modification of a commercial children’s ride-on car to effectively collect usage data. The design is cheap and could be easily modified to gather more information. This will serve as a viable way to collect information about how motorized independence can help children with developmental...

  • The Economic Impact and Ethical Implications of AI

    Creator:
    Gabor, Christian A.
    Abstract:
    Artificial Intelligence has gained resurgence in popularity through machine learning methods. This thesis investigates the current use of AI, the impact it will have on the economy and the ethical considerations for developing this technology. In the coming decade AI could increase global economic output over $10 Trillion. AI will...

  • Grid Voltage Frequency Estimation Using an Adaptive Complex Master-Slave Unscented Kalman Filter

    Creator:
    Muñoz Constantine, Juan Pablo
    Abstract:
    Due to the popularity of electronically controlled loads and the widespread use of alternative energy sources such as wind turbines and solar cells, the power quality at the distribution level must be carefully monitored. One of the many different means to monitor power quality is through frequency measurements. Nonlinearities cause...

  • Delay Performance Evaluation of the IEC 61850 Standard in Power Transmission Substations

    Creator:
    Safdar, Salman
    Abstract:
    Substations are a crucial element at the transmission and distribution level of electric power systems. The primary substation equipment (power transformers and high voltage switching equipment) is used to transfer and transform electric energy by stepping up or down the voltage in transmission substations. Secondary equipment (such as IEDs, Intelligent...

  • Toward Automated Decision-Making in Power Systems Wide-Area Protection

    Creator:
    Meier, Richard John
    Abstract:
    In recent years there have been many improvements in the reliability of critical infrastructure systems. Despite these improvements and despite targeted efforts to improve the operation and control of the electric grid, the power systems industry has seen relatively small advances in this regard. For instance, today's power system is...

  • Advances in side-channel cryptanalysis : microarchitectural attacks

    Creator:
    Aciiçmez, Onur
    Abstract:
    Cryptographic devices leak timing and power consumption information that is easily measurable, radiation of various levels, and more. Such devices also have additional inputs, other than plaintext and keys, like voltage, which can be modified to force the device to produce certain faulty outputs that can be used to reveal...

  • Distributed Dynamic Multi-Area State Estimation with Fusion Technique

    Creator:
    Guo, Jia
    Abstract:
    As the power system grows larger and more complex, real-time monitoring and control become very significant in order to achieve reliable operation of the power system. Before any security assessment can be made or control actions are taken, the reliable estimate of the existing state of the system must be...

  • On surrogate supervision multi-view learning

    Creator:
    Jin, Gaole
    Abstract:
    Data can be represented in multiple views. Traditional multi-view learning methods (i.e., co-training, multi-task learning) focus on improving learning performance using information from the auxiliary view, although information from the target view is sufficient for learning task. However, this work addresses a semi-supervised case of multi-view learning, the surrogate supervision...

  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

  • An Anthology of Next-Generation WSNs and Transformative IoT Use-Cases

    Creator:
    Williams, Jennifer M.
    Abstract:
    The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm brought an ever-increasing dependence on low-power devices to collect sensor data and transmit that information to the cloud, placing greater demand on connectivity and lifespan. In response, rapid worldwide innovation demonstrates the trade-offs in processing, communication, and energy consumption with diverse approaches to low-power...
