Increased penetration levels of Distributed Generation (DG) can cause harmful harmonics and power quality issues for the power distribution system. This project aims to investigate harmonic and power quality issues related to high penetration levels o . . .

Statement of Problem: Today all of our residential and commercial properties use AC power for all of our electrical needs, but as our electronics have been advancing our method to supply power has not changed for over a century. AC power has proven to . . .

Dual-slope analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are known for their high accuracy, but slow conversion times. The objective of this project was to design a 12-bit dual-slope analog-to-digital converter in a 0.5 µm CMOS process which rejects 60 Hz noise . . .

Arc Flash causes serious damage to life and equipment. Several new techniques have been created to help reduce the risks associated with Arc Flash. Most commonly used and trusted method by the industry is a study that uses electrical system characteri . . .

Statement of Problem: Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) is a scheme that enables fast tripping of breakers at the local and remote end of a protected equipment. POTT schemes are typically used for high voltage line protection against faults . . .

Optics usually refers to the behavior of visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light. In mathematics, triangulation, is based on the relations of the angles and sides of a triangle. This project is using both of these concepts for distance estimation. Und . . .

It is common for the frequency response of a loudspeaker to be characterized at a single point directly in front of the speaker. A loudspeaker’s frequency response depends on the spatial position of the microphone, and being able to obtain the frequen . . .

Learning how to barbeque can be an intimidating and a difficult process, taking years to master, leaving novice cooks disappointed with burnt uncooked meat. Today, there are PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controllers that allow novice cooks to . . .

This report describes the operation, design, and simulation of a comparator and an integrator for a Dynamic Offset Test Bench (DOTB) in 0.18µm CMOS. The DOTB is used to accurately measure the effective input offset voltage for a high-speed latching co . . .

Solar generation is the generation and manipulation of solar energy, through photovoltaic cells in solar panels. The use of photovoltaic solar panels is usually the most efficient way of storing the energy. The energy that is stored in photovoltaic pa . . .
