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.

Weighted Dynamic Aggregation Approach for Modular Large-scale Power Systems Modeling and Analysis
DownloadFall 2023
Regardless of the power level, many recent power systems are designed with modular and distributed units forming complex systems. Such large-scale systems normally consist of several units with similar hardware and control configurations, which can be connected to the rest of the system at a...

Wide Input Voltage Inverter Configurations and Control Systems for Renewable Energy Resources
DownloadFall 2023
Nowadays, among renewable energy sources, PV systems are highly popular due to their easy installation and affordability. A key component of the PV system is the inverter, which can significantly affect the reliability, efficiency, and power quality of the system. The PV inverters are required to...

Wide Speed Range Operation of Concentrated Winding Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines
DownloadFall 2016
The design, simulation and experimental evaluation of an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) are investigated. The motor is designed to be capable of operation from either a concentrated single inverter supply or in an “Open-Winding” configuration using two converters. In order to...

Fall 2017
In this thesis, the design and implementation of power converter and controller for wireless power transfer systems are studied. Transferring electricity without a direct use of conductors to transfer power from the source to the load has become a hot topic recently despite the existing limits on...
