DER Utilization for Voltage-Sag Mitigation by Applying Different Network Partitioning Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-18)Power quality (PQ) has been gaining increased attention in relation to Active Distribution Systems (ADSs), especially with regard to voltage-related PQ problems (i.e., voltage variation events). Voltage variation events, ... -
Derivation of Minimum Required Model for Augmented Reality Based Stepwise Construction Assembly Control
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-05)The global 3D imaging market is expected to reach $26 billion by 2024 with an annual growth of 23.7% (3D Imaging Market Global Scenario, Market Size, Trend and Forecast, 2015 – 2024. 2018). Various industries are extensively ... -
Derivative Compressive Sampling with Application to Inverse Problems and Imaging
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-30)In many practical problems in applied sciences, the features of most interest cannot be observed directly, but have to be inferred from other, observable quantities. In particular, many important data acquisition devices ... -
Derived Geometry and the Integrability Problem for G-Structures
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)In this thesis, we study the integrability problem for G-structures. Broadly speaking, this is the problem of determining topological obstructions to the existence of principal G-subbundles of the frame bundle of a manifold, ... -
Deriving Spatial Patterns of Severe Rainfall in Southern Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2010-04-13)Severe weather is a natural product of the earth’s atmosphere. Water delivered by storms sustains important biophysical functions whereas from a human perspective severe weather can have negative effects when damage is ... -
Dermal Radiomics: a new approach for computer-aided melanoma screening system
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-19)Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in North America, and melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Melanoma originates from melanocytes in the epidermis and has a high tendency to develop away from the ... -
Desalination of high-salinity water by membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2016-05-12)This study deals with the desalination of high-salinity water using membranes by pervaporation. The membrane performance was characterized with water flux and salt rejection. It was shown that a water flux of 1.6 kg/m²h ... -
Describing and Evaluating Media Roughness Contributions to Granular Media Filtration
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-19)The transport and fate of particles including microorganisms during physico-chemical filtration in natural and engineered aquatic environments remains essential for effective and sustainable drinking water treatment and ... -
A description of the electricity system in Spain since 2005 and the economic potential for renewable energy technologies
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-27)The energy system in Spain can be characterized as being high energy intensive when compared to the rest of Europe and because of its high dependence on imported resources (around 84%). The focus of this document is to ... -
Design a Reliable Model Predictive Control for Path Following with Application to the Autonomous Vehicle and Considering Different Vehicle Models
