DESIGN OF PMU BASED REAL TIME FUZZY LOGIC SVC DAMPING CONTROLLER TO ENHANCE INTER- AREA OSCILLATION DAMPING
(Electrical Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Inter-area oscillation has been identified as a significant problem in the utility systems due to the damages that it may cause as well as the limitation introduced to power transfer capability. A contemporary solution to ...
ON THE DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF THE RELAY X-CHANNEL
(Electrical Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Interference is a principal source of capacity limitations in today's multi-access multi-user wireless systems. Despite the fact that the capacity of interference channels is still an unsolved problem, the research community ...
A NON-DESTRUCTIVE METHODOLOGY FOR LEAK DETECTION IN WATER NETWORKS USING INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY (IR) AND GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
(Civil Engineering, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Two noninvasive and nondestructive methodologies for detecting leaks in water pipes were proposed and tested. The first method combines the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for accurate determination of pipe location, ...
THE ROLE OF TWITTER HASHTAGS IN GULF STATES
(Gulf Studies, 2016 , Master Thesis)
Traditional and state-controlled media in the Arabian Gulf have always been censored and controlled. Therefore, social media, such as Twitter, have replaced the traditional media and the way media is handled. Twitter has ...
