In this study, we investigate grid-forming (GFM) control for dc/ac voltage source converters (VSC) under unbalanced system conditions and unbalanced faults. To fully leverage the degrees of freedom of VSCs, we introduce ...

An induction machine consumes a very high inrush current during start-up, which can be potentially damaging to the machine itself and to the appliances connected. In the past, various studies focused on analytical and ...

This paper proposes a Convex Hull Escape Perturbation (CHEP) method at Embedding Space to achieve 3D Face De-identification. For better reconstruction of the 3D faces, this paper also proposes the Spherical Bins Coloring ...

The electricity grid is one of the most impressive engineering feats of the modern era. It enables power transmission from a variety of generation facilities to end users over long distances. It provides electricity to ...

An infrared (IR) stereo camera is mounted on each bracelet and tasked with tracking a marker on the bracelet on the other ankle. Based on the imaged trajectories of both markers, a computer vision algorithm that we developed ...

Colony collapse disorder is killing o the world's honeybees at alarming rates. Since honeybees are the primary pollinators of much of mankind's food supply, we must look to other sources of pollination. There are thousands ...

In recent years, there have been a number of studies done on gallium nitride (GaN) because of its promising electronic and thermal properties. Its characteristic features are a wide bandgap, high electron mobility, and ...

The objective of this thesis research is to analyze the guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs. It introduces the different kinds of photonic crystals and focuses on photonic crystal slabs consisting of a square lattice ...

One of the most important aspect in a power system network is to make a network secure against unanticipated events. In general, a power system network is always made N-1 secure: any single outage will not lead to ...

The performance potential of future architectures, thanks to Moores Law, grows linearly with the number of available devices per integrated circuit. Whether these future devices are ultra-small CMOS transistors, nano-tubes, ...
