The main contribution of this project was to investigate power electronics technology in designing and developing high frequency high power converters for industrial applications. Therefore, the research was conducted at two levels; first at system level which mainly encapsulated the circuit topology and control scheme and second at application level which involves with real-world applications. Pursuing these objectives, varied topologies have been developed and proposed within this research.

Abstract:
This thesis introduces a new concept in 3D RF MEMS switches intended for power applications. The novel switch architecture employs electrothermal hydraulic microactuators to provide mechanical actuation and 3D out-of-plane silicon cantilevers that have both spring action and latching mechanisms. This facilitates an OFF-state gap separation distance of -200 μLim between ohmic contacts, without the need for any hold power. Having simple assembly, many of the inherent problems associated with the more traditional suspension bridge and cantilever type beam architectures can be overcome. SPST switc

Abstract:
The aim of my project is to develop pulsed Ytterbium (Yb) doped fibre master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) systems seeded by semiconductor lasers. I was principally focused on two specific projects aligned to sponsored programs of research within the ORC pulsed fibre laser group: the first project, TSB funded project LAMPS, aimed to develop an important class of next generation laser system capable of average output powers of more than 100 W when operating in both the nanosecond and picosecond regimes. The goal was to develop a fully fiberized, polarisation maintaining, single transverse m

Abstract:
There is a trend in the power industry for high temperature components (such as steam pipe work) to be operated in an increasingly arduous fashion. This would involve the use of elevated steam temperatures/pressures and a greater frequency of start up/shut down cycles. Such generation strategies are being adopted due to the need for thermally efficient power supply that can match fluctuating market demands. If these generation strategies are to be implemented safely it is critical that careful analysis of the system components is conducted in order to ensure that premature failure does not occ
