Abstract:

The development of sustainable transport systems has experienced great improvements in the last 15 years. As a result, electric vehicles, namely hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and all-electric or battery electric vehicles (BEVs), are slowly starting to coexist with regular internal combustion vehicles around the world. The complex powering structure of automotive electric systems can be described as a distributed multiconverter architecture. In pursuit of performance, constant-power behavior of tightly regulated downstream converters has raised as an important challenge in terms of system sta

Abstract:

The world faces a major problem. Fossil fuel sources are finite and the economic and environmental cost of those that actually remain make finding an alternative one of the great technological challenges of our age. Nearly 70% of refined oil is used for transportation making it one of the key sectors where change could yield large-scale global benefits. Combustion engine passenger vehicle technology is after a long period of stagnation progressing at a pace. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are also starting to penetrate the mass market. Unfortunately, HEVs

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis report is to investigate challenges related to railway electrification. Inac-railway systems, trains are most often single-phase loads, which can create significantunbalances in the grid, when fed directly from two adjacent phases. To enhance power quality atthe railway feeding point, one alternative is to design the system such as the power is fed to thecatenary through Static Frequency Converters (SFCs), which can be a costly solution. Anotheroption is to use Static Compensators (STATCOMs) in shunt connections, handling only theunbalanced amount of power, in order

Abstract:

Hybrid electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common within the automotive market. Whilst there have been a large number of studies investigating hybrid electric vehicle drive-train control, for efficiency and active safety purposes, there is little work reflecting the effects of such technologies on pure vehicle dynamics. This thesis investigates the effects of hybrid drive-trains on vehicle ride and handling. A specific case study based on the hybridisation of a conventionally powered vehicle into a series hybrid electric vehicle is utilised as a means of doing so. In order to investiga

The tractive force has to be interrupted during a gear-shifting operation in a manual vehicle transmission, leading into a decrease of speed while changing gears during the acceleration process. Therefore in a racing application, the shifting time has to be as short as possible so that the required performance of a racing car can be achieved. The following dissertation describes the development of a transmission control system to enable gear changes within a manual gearbox, which was designed for the Formula Student racing series.

Abstract:

Regulating power is needed to compensate for unplanned deviations from production and consumption plans. The transmission system operator (TSO) in each country is responsible for keeping the electric system balanced, and activates regulation if needed to keep the frequency in the network stable. The need for regulations is assumed to grow if wind power is implemented in the power system, as it is difficult to forecast wind power production and make accurate production plans. This report investigates how trade with regulating power is affected by a large-scale installation of wind power in the

The power industry is undergoing a revolutionary change due to deregulation and associated restructuring.

As such, bilateral contracts have become important decision variables in all aspects of power system operation and planning.

Thesis (DTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008<br>The research explores an evaluation of cross-border electricity trading among countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Understanding this trading achieve through an analysis of various global electricity markets. The research disclose that in the electricity markets in Europe, North America, South America and Asia analysed in this thesis, none managed to successful eliminate power shortages. Their situation, however, is different from that of the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP). The ap

Abstract:

This thesis presents two methods to damp electromechanical oscillations in large power systems such as Trans-Canadian grid. A control method, used in conjunction with Wide Area Measurement System (WAMS), is proposed to damp very low frequency inter-area modes of very large systems. This Global PSS requires knowledge of the eigenvectors of the targeted modes, and only a limited number of power stations are involved in its feedback loop. It does not destabilize other modes, and its robustness is assured. Besides mathematical proof, a series of simulations are conducted to validate the claims of

Abstract:

In today's versatile requirements for reducing fuel consumption, a lot of different approaches are in development like hybridization, reducing the amount of cylinders with the same power as before or operating point-independent components and auxiliaries. Within this thesis, one of the approaches is shown: electrified auxiliaries including an operation strategy. Replacing conventional auxiliaries with electrified ones, the need of more electrical power becomes bigger. Due to the limits within the 12V power net, the 48V approach is the logical conclusion in terms of cost benefit and availabili

Abstract:

Globally, there are vast amounts of low-grade heat sources from industrial waste and renewables that can be converted into electricity through advanced thermodynamic power cycles and appropriate working fluids. In this thesis, experimental research was conducted to investigate the performance of a small-scale Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system under different operating conditions. The experimental setup consisted of typical ORC system components, such as a turboexpander with a high speed generator, a scroll expander, a finned-tube condenser, an ORC pump, a plate evaporator and a shell and tube

Abstract:

In this thesis an international investment filter rule is used to test both the tendency for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to hold in the long run and the hypothesis of foreign exchange market efficiency for the four most actively traded currencies in the world vis-a-vis the United States dollar: the British pound, the Japanese yen, the Germany mark, and the Canadian dollar. One way to examine whether there is a tendency for PPP to hold in the long run and whether the foreign exchange market is efficient, is to place more money in the 'undervalued' currency according to PPP deviations or

In a sample of the most representative US stocks, during the period 2005 – 2008, I provide evidence that (1) surges of investor attention forecast higher stock liquidity and volatility; (2) depending severely on what is considered an abnormal level of

Abstract:

Research has shown that managerial leaders have a higher motivational need for power than those in other positions. A leader's personality traits have been shown to affect organizational performance. Leaders who score high in dark traits (undesirable personality attributes shown to predict career derailment across organizations, levels, and positions) could also be more likely to use company resources for personal gain. There is a paucity of research examining the correlation between managerial dark traits and the need for power. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship betwee
