Analysis, Design and Control of Asymmetrically Modulated Dual Active Bridge Converters for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadSpring 2021
Energy storage units are widely used in power systems to increase grid reliability to compensate the risks imposed due to massive integration of intermittent sources, as well as serve as spinning reserves. High efficiency dc-dc converters are required as an interface between the storage units and...

Modelling and control of hemodialysis systems for better treatment management of Chronic Kidney Disease patients
DownloadFall 2021
Kidneys are essential organs located on either side of the vertebral column which perform several essential bodily functions. When there is a gradual, permanent loss of basic kidney functions, a person is said to have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD has been identified to be a global public...

Modelling Impacts of Climate Change on Snow Drought, Groundwater Drought, and their Feedback Mechanism in a Snow Dominated Watershed in Western Canada
DownloadFall 2023
In snow-dominated regions, snow storage is a primary water resource contributing to surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) supplies. Snow drought is defined as either lack of snow storage or high-temperature-induced early snowmelt, leading to a loss of snow water resources. GW drought refers to...

Modelling Mountain Pine Beetle Abundance and Distribution in Novel Hosts and Changing Climate
DownloadSpring 2024
The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae, Hopkins 1902), an invasive bark beetle native to North America, has expanded its habitat from central British Columbia to Northern Alberta. This expansion poses an immediate threat to jack pine forests, which extend from Alberta to Nova Scotia....

Fall 2018
The Arctic and the North Atlantic Oceans are experiencing multiple stresses such as loss of sea ice, changing atmospheric patterns, increasing wind energy at the ocean surface and larger freshwater discharge to coastal regions. To address how the marine system may respond to these stresses I...

Fall 2021
Newer energy codes for buildings in Canada now require energy losses associated with thermal bridging in smaller components to be accounted for. In masonry cavity wall systems, most of the energy losses from thermal bridging are due to structural penetrations at floor levels located at the shelf...

Fall 2019
The primary objectives of this thesis included contributing to: (i) the state of knowledge on the TDF physiological response to climatic variables; (ii) the understanding of forest resilience through assessing productivity response to temperature and precipitation; and (iii) assessing the...

Spring 2024
An effective navigation process requires the ability to determine the navigators’ current position and heading in the environment (referred to as self-localization) and localize the points of interest, such as home. Humans and non-human animals typically use self-motion cues (i.e., path...
