A Lean Approach to System Design and the Development of a Multi-Stage Dredging System for Commercial Applications
DownloadSpring 2023
The development of any technology requires that a balance must be struck between meeting requirements and dealing with constraints. This thesis presents a lean approach to the initial design and development of a complex, multi-physics system for industrial implementation, undertaken due to...

A Thin-Film Model to Characterize a Luminescent Solar Concentrator for Higher Efficiency Electricity Generation
DownloadSpring 2023
Jayamaha, Don Jehan Savio Reshon
A Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) is a device that consists of a transparent plate with photovoltaic (PV) cells connected to one or more sides. The transparent plate functions as a waveguide and contains luminescent particles, such as organic dyes or quantum dots. The luminescent particles...

Fall 2020
This thesis presents a methodology to simulate the energy production from hypothetical wind farms in Alberta in order to examine potential future market impacts of a geographically dispersed wind fleet in Alberta. The wind farms’ output is simulated using the Canadian Wind Atlas (CWA) Modelled...

Sizing, Operation, and Evaluation of Battery Energy Storage with Dynamic Line Rating and Deep Learning
DownloadSpring 2023
Integration of renewables has the potential to reduce society’s reliance on carbon-based fuels. Sizing renewable-energy installations is key to making a successful business case for the construction of new assets. Dynamic thermal line rating is the amount of current in real-time that a...

Wind Resource Assessment for the Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (DICE) building at the University of Alberta North Campus
DownloadSpring 2018
The implementation of small wind turbines in the urban environment with the intention of producing energy in high demand areas (cities), and reduce carbon footprint has been met generally with less than successful results. . The primary challenge in these projects is to understand the wind field,...
