An ATP/EMTP model for the study of both normal and abnormal substation equipment operation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In electric utility, overcurrent and overvoltage transients in switching operations often cause severe damage on the power system equipments. In this ... -
Design of a single sided linear induction motor (SLIM) using a user interactive computer program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)This project studies the design of SLIM, which can be used to power capsules in a pneumatic capsule pipeline (PCP) system. The design equations of the SLIM and the equivalent circuit model are studied and discussed in ... -
Fabrication of a photoconductive switch for a slass E amplifier
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A gallium arsenide-based photoconductive switch is a simple, fast alternative to many photodetectors available today. Using such as switch within a ... -
Fuse holder damage investigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The explosion of fuse holders at a certain 161 kV: 34.5 kV Ameren UE substation in the Potosi area was investigated. The Alternative Transients Program -Electromagnetic Transients Program (ATP-EMTP) was used to model and ... -
Improved genetic algorithm for distribution system performance analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The incipient smart grid initiative and increasing use of distributed generation, along with classical problems of distribution system reconfiguration and restoration (DSR), have led to the need for efficient and reliable ... -
Improved genetic algorithm for distribution system performance analysis by taking advantage of essential spanning trees
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The smart grid initiative, increasing use of distributed generation, and classical distribution system reconfiguration (DSR) and restoration problems, ... -
MSM photodiode as the switching element in a photoswitch-based class E microwave power amplifier
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A photoswitch is designed for use as the switching element in a 2 GHz class E amplifier. The application of this amplifier is as the final-stage amplifier in the transmit-receive module of a phased-array radar system. The ... -
Optically triggered thyristor for capacitor discharge applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)An investigation of the use of light to trigger semiconductor thyristors for capacitor discharge applications has been conducted. The investigation consisted of a technical literature and background search, design and ... -
PIN photodiode controlled class E microwave power amplifier
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This project is to design, build and test a switched-mode class E amplifier operating at 1GHz, using a PIN photodiode as switch. In order to explore ... -
A study of power distribution system reconfiguration based on reliability indices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Network reconfiguration is one of the feasible methods for reducing the distribution network loss. The reconfiguration of a distribution system is a process that alters the feeder topological structure by changing the open/ ... -
A study of the factors that affect lithium ion battery degradation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Secondary batteries have been applied in every aspect of our life, from cell phones, to laptops, medical devices, satellites, and renewable energy power stations. Li-ion batteries have shown superior advantages in their ... -
A user interactive design procedure for an efficient tubular linear induction motor for pneumatic capsule pipeline systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Pneumatic Capsule Pipeline (PCP) systems are being increasingly used for freight transportation in selected industries like mining, tunneling and also ...
