Multi-module high voltage pulse generator based on DC-DC boost converter and CDVMs for drinking water purification
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
High pulsed electric field (PEF) can be used effectively in drinking water purification, by applying it across the water sample to be treated. Application of sufficient high PEF guarantees killing of harmful germs and ...
Finite control set model predictive control for grid-tied quasi-Z-source based multilevel inverter
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a finite control set Model Predictive Control (MPC) for grid-tie quasi-Z-Source (qZS) based multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed Power Conditioning System (PCS) consists of a single-phase 2-cell ...
A new three-level switched-capacitor submodule for modular multilevel converters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Conventionally, only one out of the two capacitors in a three-level submodule is involved in the arm current path to generate the first non-zero voltage level (E) in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). While two capacitors ...
Review on organic solar cells
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The serious threat of global warming on earth made it necessary to look for alternative sources of energy. In fact, the seek for clean and cheap energy is subject of several research investigations nowadays, and the invention ...
Information sharing in cooperative networks: A generic trustworthy issue
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In a cooperative network, users share information with each other to achieve a common target. Due to the concerns of privacy and cost, users may be reluctant to share genuine information with each other, which incurs the ...
Design and analysis framework for sparse FIR channel shortening
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
A major performance and complexity limitation in broadband communications is the long channel delay spread which results in a highly-frequency-selective channel frequency response. Channel shortening equalizers (CSEs) are ...
Modelling and performance analysis of 3-D heterogeneous cellular networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Cellular networks are usually described by two-dimensional (2-D) models. These models are appropriate for rural or suburban areas but are not suitable for dense urban environments, where a large number of heterogeneous ...
Secure multiple-users transmission using multi-path directional modulation
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This work introduces a physical-layer secure multiple-users communication scheme. Our scheme employs the multi-path nature of the wireless channel to provide a different secure communication link for each of the legitimate ...
Some observations on soil-pipe interface shear strength in direct shear under low effective normal stresses and large displacements
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Experimental work is undertaken at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to study the soil-pipe interface shear strength at levels of shear displacements and effective normal stresses typically encountered in offshore ...
A new indirect tensile testing setup to determine stiffness properties of lightly stabilised granular materials
(
Australian Geomechanics Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a new indirect diametral tensile (IDT) testing setup for determining the stiffness modulus and Poisson's ratio for the characterisation of lightly stabilized granular base materials required for pavement ...
