Unified power flow controller for low voltage ride through capability of wind-based renewable energy grid-connected systems
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
Due to the large increase in number of installed high power renewable energy generating systems such as wind energy power plants, one of the important evolving requirement is riding through the fault at low or zero voltage. ...
Range-Doppler radar sensor fusion for fall detection
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Falls are the major cause of accidents in the elderly population. Propelled by their non-intrusive sensing capabilities and robustness to heat and lighting conditions, radar-based automated fall detection systems have ...
Thermal properties of phase-change materials based on high-density polyethylene filled with micro-encapsulated paraffin wax for thermal energy storage
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Microcapsules consisting of paraffin wax cores with a melting point of approximately 42 °C and a melamine-formaldehyde resin shell were synthesized using in situ polymerization. These microcapsules have a uniform distribution ...
Effect of crushable blockouts on a full-scale guardrail system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Since the performance of the guardrail system depends in part on the compatibility of vehicle-to-roadside hardware, it is important to improve the interaction of the vehicle with the guardrail system by adding more compliance ...
Inter-relay Interference management schemes for multi-user cooperative wireless networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, two cooperative communications schemes with inter-relay interference (IRI) management are proposed for multi-user wireless networks. The first scheme (Interference management at relay station (IMR)) uses the ...
Theory and design of high-resolution quadratic TFDs
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Book chapter)
The quadratic time-frequency distributions (TFDs) introduced in the previous chapter represent the majority of traditional time-frequency ((t,f)) methods used in practical applications that deal with nonstationary signals. ...
Ultrahigh Aspect Ratio Copper-Nanowire-Based Hybrid Transparent Conductive Electrodes with PEDOT:PSS and Reduced Graphene Oxide Exhibiting Reduced Surface Roughness and Improved Stability
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) with ultrahigh aspect ratio are synthesized with a solution process and spray-coated onto select substrates to fabricate transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Different annealing methods are ...
Nonlocal damage modelling in clay/epoxy nanocomposites using a multiscale approach
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This study proposed a concurrent multiscale method to model damage in clay/epoxy nanocomposites. The method uses a nonlocal damage formulation to regularize the damage model. The multiscale method used, is based on the ...
PCA IP-core for gas applications on the heterogenous zynq platform
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Principal component analysis (PCA) is a commonly used technique for data reduction in general as well as for dimensionality reduction in gas identification systems when a sensor array is being used. This paper presents the ...
User privacy and data trustworthiness in mobile crowd sensing
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Smartphones and other trendy mobile wearable devices are rapidly becoming the dominant sensing, computing and communication devices in peoples' daily lives. Mobile crowd sensing is an emerging technology based on the sensing ...
