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.

Parallel Field-Oriented Computation for Electromagnetic Transient Simulation of Power System Components
DownloadFall 2020
The finite element method (FEM) has been commonly employed to solve the partial differential equations in different physical domains including structural analysis, heat transfer, and electromagnetics due to its field-oriented nature, high accuracy, and capability to consider complex geometries...

Power Converter Emulation on Reconfigurable Hardware Using Device-Level Behavioral Modeling
DownloadFall 2016
Precise models of power electronic converters significantly improve the fidelity of hardwarein- the-loop (HIL) simulators, thereby accelerating and reducing costs of design cycles in industrial applications. This thesis proposes detailed device-level hardware models of the IGBT and the power...

Real-Time Electromagnetic Transient Hardware Emulation of Multi-Terminal High Voltage DC Grid
DownloadFall 2018
New high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission projects are being increasingly operated globally, which can be developed into multi-terminal DC (MTDC) grid interconnecting the conventional AC grid and the off-shore renewable energy power plants. Among various power converter topologies, modular...

Fall 2009
In the refining industry, the cost of a power system interruption is dominated by an associated loss of production. Power distribution within a refinery includes a set of production units within a highly inter-dependent process, where the outage of a single unit affects the production of...
