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.

Results for "Probability Distributions on a Circle"
-
Fall 2021
Weather-related power outages in the distribution grid have a significant impact on the grid reliability - they impose a high cost on power utilities and considerable inconvenience to customers. Improvements in monitoring and data collection practices, as well as advanced data processing methods
based on Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), as well as Knowledge Graph-based representation of distribution grid topology (GridKG) suitable for integration of data characterizing different aspects of the distribution system. Three different architectures of a system for predicting types of weather-related
outages are proposed and evaluated. Weather and outage data are utilized for model development and evaluation of their performances. The developed system is capable of identifying the probability of outage occurrences with a focus on identifying outages caused by extreme wind, wet snow, and icing. An
