This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Fall 2015
Electrical machines are the critical components of many industrial systems, and their design, test, and simulation are now becoming increasingly demanding due to emphasis on energy efficiency, and performance improvement. Today, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) technology is progressively being...

Spring 2014
The need for high-speed multifunction protective relays in modern power systems is growing. A relay's fast response and reliable operation to clear faults is essential, especially in the context of smart grids. This research proposes a low-latency hardware digital multifunction protective relay...

Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop Emulation of Electric Machines for Electrified Transportation Systems
DownloadFall 2018
Design and prototyping of electric power components and systems employing off-line transient simulation tools are inefficient due to, first, time consumption of sequential processors for several cycles of testing, and second, inaccuracy arising from simplifications in the modeling of the entire...

Real-Time Nonlinear Frequency-Dependent Electromagnetic Transient Power Transformer Model Hardware Emulation
DownloadSpring 2016
A transformer is a vital piece of transmission and distribution infrastructure in a power system which is used to transfer energy from one circuit to another. Real-time electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation plays an important role in the design and testing of protection and control systems...

Spring 2012
This thesis proposes a real-time DSP design for logarithmic CMOS image sensors. The design contains novel FPN correction and tone mapping methods suitable for fixed-point operation. Logarithmic CMOS image sensors offer high DR at video rate but suffer from nonlinear FPN. FPN, due to parameter...

Realization of Planar and SIW Filters with the Focus on Transmission Zero (TZ) and Evanescent-Mode Pole
DownloadFall 2017
With the recent progress in wireless and satellite communication and the 5G requirements for increased multi-band structures, integrated platforms with simple configurations are in need to offer flexibility in the design, selective pass-bands generation and/or unwanted frequencies suppression....

Receiver Processing and Limited-Feedback User Scheduling for Multiuser MIMO and MIMO-OFDM Downlink
DownloadFall 2009
Use of multiple antennas at both ends of a communication link, known as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), increases the reliability and/or capacity of that link. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an effective technique for high data rate transmission over frequency...
