Centralized Control Scheme for Energy Management in Smart Microgrids
(2017-04)
The development in smart grid technologies will authorize consumers to participate in the decision making of their electricity consumption. This participation in decision making is the called demand side management (DSM). ...
Flexural Performance of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) Bars
(2019-05)
This research studies the flexural behavior of concrete beams that are reinforced longitudinally with the newly discovered Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymers (BFRP) bars. The aim is to examine the suitability of using BFRP ...
Acoustic Detection of Partial Discharge using Signal Processing and Pattern Recognition Techniques
(2010-05)
Power transformers are one of the major components in electric network. The service area of power transformers is quite large which means that the failure of such equipment will cause huge losses for power companies. ...
Learning-Based Space-Time Adaptive Processing
(2013-06)
The probability of target detection in airborne-radar missions depends on the target signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. In order to maximize the probability of detection, it is necessary to maximize the target ...
Subsonic Flow over a Thin Airfoil in Ground Effect: a Functional Analytic Approach
(2017-05)
In this work, the problem of subsonic compressible flow over a thin airfoil located near the ground is studied. A singular integral equation, also known as the Possio integral equation [29], that relates the pressure jump ...
Relevance of the Theory of Relevance: Beyond Classical Approaches to Translation: Selected Verses of the Holy Qur'an as a case study
(2014-05)
This thesis hypothesizes the theory of relevance in translation a comprehensive theory that may include all the strengths of previous theories and approaches and circumvent their flaws and inefficiencies. The thesis proposes ...
Short-term Wind Power Prediction
(2014-06)
Environmental considerations in addition to energy crises have forced many countries to consider alternative energy sources; renewable energies are known as the best alternatives. Among renewable energies, wind power is ...
Closed Loop Supply Chain Under Consignment Stock Partnership
(2015-05)
The emerging field of reverse logistics or closed loop supply chain management seeks to efficiently handle all the activities pertaining to the retrieval of products from end customers along with the proper reuse or disposal ...
Conserved-Mass Metastructures For Vibration Suppression
(2019-04)
Vibration suppression, cancellation or absorption is an expansive field of research, which has been the focus of numerous studies performed by scientists and engineers for decades. Metamaterials are a new class of semi-active ...
Optimal Operation and Planning of Power System Integrated with Reverse Osmosis Water Desalination
(2021-12)
The typical desalination for seawater in the Gulf area relies on thermal desalination, where the water and electricity are co-generated from fossil fuel thermal plants. These thermal plants are well known to increase CO2 ...
