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 2014
Shunt capacitors are widely used in power systems for voltage support and reactive power compensation. Its applications, however, can also cause various problems. This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation of the power quality issues associated with shunt capacitor applications. Switching...

Large-Scale Real-Time Electromagnetic Transient Simulation of Power Systems Using Hardware Emulation on FPGAs
DownloadSpring 2012
This thesis describes how FPGAs can be used for realizing real-time electromagnetic transient simulation of large-scale power systems using digital hardware emulation. Detailed parallel hardware modules for various power system components are described, including linear lumped RLCG elements,...

Modeling and Mitigation of Harmonic Distortions Caused by Mass-Distributed Harmonic Sources
DownloadFall 2017
In recent years, the proliferation of energy-efficient but harmonic-producing home appliances has significantly changed the nature of power system harmonic problems. One of the main concerns nowadays is the harmonics produced by small, mass-distributed harmonic sources. Their unique random and...

Fall 2013
This Thesis proposes a novel transform called “Channel Components Transform” and presents its application to power system voltage stability assessment. The transform is based on the following observation: a power network can be represented as a multi-node, multi-branch Thevenin circuit connecting...
