Spatial Distribution of Wind Power Plants To Reduce Variability of Renewable Energy Generation
DownloadFall 2014
As the penetration of wind power into generation mix increases, the issue of its integration into the power grid becomes more and more important. The variability of wind power generation is a major concern as wind is highly intermittent. This may result in significant overproduction at times,...

The fifth-generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks aim to increase the current data rates to more than 10 Gbit/s. Thus, the spectrum crunch necessitates increasing spectral efficiency (SE). Key non-orthogonal technologies for this goal are (I) full-duplex wireless, (II) generalized...

Spring 2019
With the fast growth of mobile data traffic, spectrum scarcity has become a serious problem to the development of wireless networks. Due to the limited available spectrum resources, it is critical to improve the spectrum efficiency. Cognitive radio, opportunistic scheduling, and non-orthogonal...

Fall 2014
Cognitive radio has been considered as a promising way to deal with the overcrowded wireless spectrum. In cognitive radio, when licensed users (primary users) do not use their licensed spectrum, they may lease the spectrum to unlicensed users (secondary user). In a cognitive radio network, a...

Fall 2014
Electrons, the fundamental charge carriers in solid-state devices, possess three intrinsic properties: mass, charge and spin. Spin is a quantum mechanical property, but can be loosely visualized as a tiny “intrinsic” magnetic dipole moment attached to an electron. In conventional electron...

Stability of Bilateral Teleoperation Systems: Effect of Sampled-data Control and Non-passivity or Strict-Passivity of Terminations
DownloadFall 2013
A bilateral teleoperation system comprises a human operator, a teleoperator, and an environment. The teleoperator consists of a master, a slave, their controllers, and a communication channel. Since the models of the terminations namely the human operator and the environment are unknown and/or...

Stability of Haptic Virtual Environments and Teleoperation Systems : Effect of Sampled-Data Control, Communication Delay and Active Operator
DownloadFall 2013
Three factors can jeopardize the stability of haptic virtual environments (HVE)s and teleoperation systems: (a) delayed communication channel, (b) controller discretization and (c) active operator intervention. This thesis studies the stability of these systems and investigates the simultaneous...

Spring 2013
Multilateral systems involving haptic information sharing between several users have recently found interesting applications in cooperative haptic teleoperation and haptic-assisted training. It is intuitively understood that some tasks are performed more effectively with two hands or through...

Fall 2012
This thesis develops an online parameter and state estimation scheme for a linear parameter varying (LPV) system that utilizes an iterative moving window technique. In the proposed scheme, an online algorithm, based on the input/output measurement, is implemented to approximate the real system...

Spring 2022
Numerous battery technologies have been developed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages which are discussed herein. An emerging form is the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB), which utilizes vanadium's two soluble redox couples to create a fully liquid state system based off a single...
