Full textAbstract:
Spatial and temporal characteristics of dust storm activity in Saudi Arabia has been established using coarse-particle (PM10) dust concentrations recorded by the KACST monitoring network during the 2000-2003 period, backward trajectory analysis and satellite imagery. Thirty three major dust episodes impacted Riyadh city during the 2000-2003 period. The majority of these intense dust episodes are experienced during the March-August period with interannual and monthly variability in both intensity and frequency. Using TOMS images in conjunction with the backward trajectories corresponding to these 33 major episodes, the dust source regions have been identified. The most vulnerable dust source areas within these identified source regions have also been determined by compiling satellite images of dusty days from the true color SeaWiFs and high resolution MODIS archives over a six-year period (2000-2005). In total 45 dust-source areas have been identified in 9 local source regions and 4 external ones. Furthermore, 38 episodes of high fine-particle (PM2.5) and PM10 dust concentrations were observed at Riyadh city and 16 and 6 episodes of elevated PM10 dust concentrations were observed at Dammam and Jeddah cities, respectively, during March-September 2006, corresponding to the dust season in Saudi Arabia. During these episodes, Riyadh city was significantly impacted by dust from the southern Iraqi source areas and the eastern source areas located to the north and to the northeast of the city, respectively. Moreover, Dammam city was also significantly impacted by dust from the southern Iraqi source areas whereas Jeddah city was evenly impacted by dust from northeastern-northwestern sources to the city, with somewhat higher PM10 concentrations from African dust source areas, located to the northwest of the city. Analysis of meteorological maps of surface pressure as well as upper air data associated with high airborne dust concentrations in Saudi Arabia was successfully performed. This analysis revealed seven common types of dust storms, triggered by a clear seasonal distribution of meteorological conditions: (1) frontal, (2) Haboob, (3) jets convergence, (4) jet streak, (5) Shamal, (6) cyclonic, and (7) gap. The majority of dust episodes that impacted Riyadh city during the study period were triggered by Haboob (~ 42 %) and Shamal (~ 37 %). Additional analyses, including elemental, ionic and biological analyses as well as model analyses were used to further characterize the airborne dust in Saudi Arabia.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse introduit un nouveau concept dans la vérification des circuits au niveau RTL : l'interopérabilité entre simulateurs HDL, émulateurs matériel et plateformes de prototypage. Cela permet de bénéficier, à la fois de l'excellente vitesse d'exécution des plateformes de prototypage et des capacités de déboguage, d'observabilité et contrôlabilité offertes par les émulateurs matériel et simulateurs HDL. L'idée principale consiste en la réalisation des tests sur une plateforme de prototypage rapide tout en réalisant périodiquement des sauvegardes de l'état du circuit. Lorsqu'une erreur apparait, le déboguage est réalisé, soit un émulateur rapide, soit un simulateur HDL économique: le test est alors rejoué à partir de la dernière sauvegarde d'état réalisée avant l'instant d'apparition du problème. Enfin, cette thèse présente un flot de prototypage, validé sur un circuit industriel «STM HLS25», permettant d'intégrer l'interopérabilité comme une fonctionnalité du circuitThis thesis defines a new concept in RTL verification: interoperability between HDL simulators, hardware emulators and hardware prototyping platforms. The main purpose is to benefit from both good speed of hardware prototyping platforms and de bug capabilities of hardware emulators and HDL simulators. To achieve this purpose, this thesis introduces the notion of design state. Then, a interoperability dedicated tool is presented. This tool add interoperability to design functionnalities. Thus, ail machines working at RTL level are interoperables with each others. The main idea of interoperability is to lunch tests on fast prototyping platforms while periodically saving design state. When a bug will be faced, debug will be performed using a fast emulator or a low cost HDL simulator. The test will restart from the last database saved just before bug time. Finally, this thesis introduce a new prototyping flow which was validated on an industrial design «STM HLS25»

L'objectif de la thèse est de donner une mesure des conséquences à moyen et long terme de la réforme des retraites du secteur privé, à législation inchangée, et d'effectuer une analyse comparative des effets des réformes de 1993 et de 2003 sur le niveau et les distributions des retraites futures à l'horizon 2030. A cette fin, nous construisons et utilisons un modèle de microsimulation, le modèle ARTEMIS (analyse des retraites du secteur privé par microsimulation), basé sur le fichier des assurés au régime général d'assurance vieillesse de la sécurité sociale géré par la Caisse nationale d'assurance vieillesse des travailleurs salariés (CNAV). Ce régime couvre les salariés du secteur privé, soit près des deux tiers de la population active française. Cette thèse est organisée en deux grandes parties. Dans la première partie intitulée "Microsimulation et retraites du régime général", nous présentons l'intérêt de la microsimulation pour l'étude des retraites du régime général sur le long terme, ainsi que les grandes caractéristiques de ce régime. La seconde partie sur "Le modèle de microsimulation ARTEMIS et ses résultats" décrit le modèle, puis présente les simulations des retraites de droit propre à l'horizon 2030 et leur comparaison aux autres sources d'évaluation disponibles. Nous nous intéressons au parcours des générations 1935 à 1970. Nous analysons les effets de ces réformes sur les dépenses totales, ainsi que leurs conséquences redistributives, en tenant compte des évolutions individuelles de carrière. En effet, la politique des retraites, comme toute politique sociale, repose sur des principes combinant efficacité économique et redistribution.

Full textAbstract:
Digital halftoning is a crucial technique used in digital printers to convert a continuoustone image into a pattern of black and white dots. Halftoning is used since printers have a limited availability of inks and cannot reproduce all the color intensities in a continuous image. Error Diffusion is an algorithm in halftoning that iteratively quantizes pixels in a neighborhood dependent fashion. This thesis focuses on the development and design of a parallel scalable hardware architecture for high performance implementation of a high quality Stacked Error Diffusion algorithm. The algorithm is described in ‘C’ and requires a significant processing time when implemented on a conventional CPU. Thus, a new hardware processor architecture is developed to implement the algorithm and is implemented to and tested on a Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA chip. There is an extraordinary decrease in the run time of the algorithm when run on the newly proposed parallel architecture implemented to FPGA technology compared to execution on a single CPU. The new parallel architecture is described using the Verilog Hardware Description Language. Post-synthesis and post-implementation, performance based Hardware Description Language (HDL), simulation validation of the new parallel architecture is achieved via use of the ModelSim CAD simulation tool.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid growth of Internet-of-Things (IoT), billions of devices are expected to be interconnected to provide various services appealing to users. Many devices will get an access to valuable information which is likely to increase the number of malicious attacks on these devices in the future. Therefore, security is considered as one of the most critical challenges in the development of IoT. In order to secure resource-constrained devices such as sensors or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags which form the backbone of IoT, lightweight cryptographic algorithms are required. This thesis focuses on the problem of message authentication. To authenticate a message means to verify that the message: (1) comes from the right sender (i.e. its authenticity), and (2) has not been modified (i.e. its integrity). It is challenging to use traditional message authentication methods in resource-constrained devices because typically they can allocate only a few hundred gates for implementing security due to their limited computing, storage and energy resources. To address these needs, a new message authentication algorithm based on a Cryptographic Cyclic Redundancy Check (C-CRC) was developed by KTH in collaboration with Ericsson. In this thesis, we implemented C-CRC and compared it with KECCAK Message Authentication Code (KMAC) standardized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2016. First, MATLAB and Verilog versions were developed for both algorithms. The comparison of these two versions allowed us to verify the correctness of algorithms functionality. After that, the Verilog descriptions were simulated in ModelSim and synthesized using Synopsys design compiler. Finally, placement and routing was performed using Cadence SoC Encounter. The evaluation results show that C-CRC outperforms KMAC in terms of area, power, throughput per area, and energy per bit. However, C-CRC is worse than KMAC in terms of latency. We have also investigated several different options of implementing C-CRC, including producing more than one bit of output per clock cycle. We found that such a technique improves throughput of C-CRC with the minimal penalty in area and power consumption

Full textAbstract:
Increased and combined knowledge of food processing, molecular biology, health and nutrition has triggered production of many different types of functional foods and pharmaceutics recently. The efficacy and safety of such products are being assessed prior to marketing by in vivo and/or in vitro studies. Traditional in vivo studies require excessive time, cost and labour, as well as ethical approvals with subject to humans or animals in some instances. Therefore excessive number of runs may be avoided if reliable in vitro system is available. During the course of this study, an in vitro physicochemical upper gastrointestinal tract system (IPUGS), the first of its kind in literature, has been developed to simulate the relevant conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) as closely as possible to the human physiology with multi-disciplinary approach, combining biology, physiology, gastroenterology, process technology, chemical engineering and automation. The IPUGS is aimed at having a high predictive capability towards the real digestion processes occurring in the human upper GIT which allows for examining of the bioavailability of nutrients and drugs, drug-nutrient interactions, viability of probiotics and case studies of gastrointestinal disorders. Digestion of rice and baby foods have been studied with the IPUGS by UV-spectrophotometer, HPLC, light microscope and pH meter under the conditions of normal state and common gastric disorders, such as gastroparesis, dumping syndrome, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and hypochlorhydria. By comparing the data from many physiological and clinical sources in the literature, it would seem that the IPUGS was able to generate more reliable data compared to the existing in vitro digestion (mechanical) models in the literature. In future, computer-controlled and computer-recorded data by possibly designing a new software or equations would be desirable to implicate a better understanding of the digestive processes.

This PhD addresses perception and virtual reality, two research topics at the LEPSiS. The objective of my PhD was to improve the state of the art of the computer graphic image rendering for driving simulator applications. The main issue was the perceptual realism of the images, notably in high dynamic range conditions (night, glare). The proposed approach puts forward a High Dynamic Range mode, allowing us to render images in luminance.We use classic virtual environments, with small additional information about the light sources. The textures and materials are used for a rendering as close as possible to physical reality. Then, the image is processed by a tone mapping operator, which compresses the luminance dynamic, taking into account the limited range of the display device and the perceptual realism of the rendering. The chosen tone mapping is adapted to driving simulations, and especially to extreme situations (night, skimming sun). A glare simulation was also added. The entire rendering is real time, and is now included in the driving simulators of the LEPSiS. Lastly, real-virtual comparisons assessed the quality of the obtained HDR rendering. Moreover, two psycho-visual experiments with subjects, on photographs (with a real reference) and on video (without reference), showed the relevance of a tone mapping with a human visual model, including temporal adaptation to changing luminance, for driving simulations

Full textAbstract:
Driving a motor vehicle is a complex activity, and errors in performing the driving task can result in crashes which cause property damage, injuries, and sometimes death. It is important that the road environment supports drivers in safe performance of the driving task. At present, increasing amounts of visual information from sources such as roadside advertising create visual clutter in the road environment. There has been little research on the effect of this visual clutter on driving performance, particularly for vulnerable groups such as novice and older drivers. The present work aims to fill this gap. Literature from a variety of relevant disciplines was surveyed and integrated, and a model of the mechanisms by which visual clutter could affect performance of the driving task was developed. To determine potential sources of clutter, focus groups with drivers were held and two studies involving subjective ratings of visual clutter in photographs and video clips of road environments were carried out. This resulted in a taxonomy of visual clutter in the road environment: ‘situational clutter’, including vehicles and other road users with whom drivers interact; ‘designed clutter’, including road signs, signals, and markings used by traffic authorities to communicate with users; and ‘built clutter’, including roadside development and any signage not originating from a road authority. The taxonomy of visual clutter was tested using the change detection paradigm. Drivers were slower to detect changes in photographs of road scenes with high levels of visual clutter than with low levels, and slower for road scenes including advertising billboards than road scenes without billboards. Finally, the effects of billboard presence and lead vehicles on vehicle control, eye movements and responses to traffic signs and signals were tested using a driving simulator. The number of vehicles included appeared to be insufficient to create situational clutter. However billboards had significant effects on driver speed (slower), ability to follow directions on road signs (slower with more errors), and eye movements (increased amount of time fixating on roadsides at the expense of scanning the road ahead). Older drivers were particularly affected by visual clutter in both the change detection and simulated driving tasks. Results are discussed in terms of implications for future research and for road safety practitioners. Visual clutter can affect driver workload as well as purely visual aspects of the driving task (such as hazard perception and search for road signs). When driver workload is increased past a certain point other driving tasks will also be performed less well (such as speed maintenance). Advertising billboards in particular cause visual distraction, and should be considered at a similar level of potential danger as visual distraction from in-vehicle devices. The consequences of roadside visual clutter are more severe for the growing demographic of older drivers. Currently, road environments do not support drivers (particularly older drivers) as well as they could. Based on the results, guidance is given for road authorities to improve this status when designing and location road signage and approving roadside advertising.

Dans ce mémoire d'Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches sont présentées les études menées par Jean-Paul Crocombette entre 1996 et 2005 au Service de Recherches de Métallurgie Physique de la Direction de l'Energie Nucléaire à Saclay. Le travail se place dans le cadre général des recherches en sciences des matériaux sur le vieillissement des oxydes d'intérêt pour le nucléaire, en particulier sous irradiation. Dans ce contexte, on a mené des études de modélisation à l'échelle atomique en abordant deux ingrédients élémentaires du vieillissement sous irradiation : les défauts ponctuels et les cascades de déplacements à l'aide de deux techniques de simulation complémentaires : les calculs de structure électronique dits ab initio et la dynamique moléculaire en potentiels empiriques.
La première partie du mémoire est consacrée aux études de défauts ponctuels : auto-défauts (lacune, interstitiel) ou dopants hétéro-atomiques. Après avoir rapidement rappelé l'énergétique des défauts ponctuels dans les oxydes, les particularités des calculs de défauts et la précision que l'on peut attendre de ce type de calcul, on présente les résultats obtenus sur le dioxyde d'uranium, l'oxygène dans l'argent et la silice amorphe.
La deuxième partie du mémoire s'intéresse aux cascades de déplacements atomiques créées par les noyaux de recul des désintégrations Α dans diverses matrices cristallines de stockage des actinides radioactifs. Les calculs de cascade donnent des éléments pour comprendre les mécanismes d'amorphisation sous irradiation de ces oxydes. On a ainsi prédit que l'amorphisation dans le zircon a lieu dans le coeur de chaque trace alors que dans le zirconate de lanthane, l'amorphisation se produit par accumulation de défauts ponctuels.
En fin de mémoire, on présente les perspectives ouvertes par ces études et les travaux en cours.

Full textAbstract:
For this project, a Software-In-the-Loop (SIL) simulation tool is used at Scania (“VTAB” – Virtual Truck and Bus), which simulates the submodels of the mechanical vehicle components together with the real control units. The simulation tool contains the following submodels: Engine model, Drivetrain model, Drive cycle model, Restbus model, and Driver model. The simulated human driver submodel in the restbus model outputs two pedal control signals to the control unit, namely the gas and brake pedals. With these two pedal signals, the control unit decides the modes of mechanical vehicle components. This driver model needs to be reworked to obtain a better velocity following performance. Two controllers, fuzzy PI anti-windup and backward calculation, are implemented in the driver model and compared by the velocity tracking accuracy and the pedal switching frequency. In the comparison and analysis section, two different cycles and two weights of payload are simulated. The simulation results demonstrate that both controllers can improve the driver model’s velocity tracing accuracy. Further, the fuzzy PI anti-windup controller is better when considering pedal signals fluctuation frequency and implementation complexity.För detta projekt används ett simuleringsverktyg Software-In-the-Loop (SIL) på Scania (“VTAB” - Virtual Truck and Bus), vilket simulerar submodellerna för de mekaniska fordonskomponenterna tillsammans med de verkliga styrenheterna. Simuleringsverktyget innehåller följande submodeller: Motormodell, Drivmotormodell, Drivcykelmodell, Restbusmodell och Drivermodell. Den simulerade submodellen för mänsklig förare i restbussmodellen kommer att sända två pedalsstyrsignaler till styrenheten, nämligen gas och broms. Med dessa två pedalsignaler kan styrenheten avgöra lägen av mekaniska fordonskomponenter. Denna drivrutinmodell måste omarbetas för att få en bättre hastighetsspårnings presentationsförmåga. Två styrenheter, fuzzy PI anti-windup och bakåtberäkning, implementeras i förarmodell och jämförs respektive med hastighetsspårningsnoggrannhet och pedalväxelfrekvens. I jämförelseoch analysavsnittet simuleras två olika cyklar och två nyttolast. Simuleringsresultaten visar att båda kontrollerna kan förbättra förarmodellens hastighetsspårningskapacitet. Vidare är fuzzy PI-anti-windup-kontroller bättre när man tar hänsyn till pedalsignalernas fluktueringsfrekvens och implementeringskomplexitet

Full textAbstract:
Dans l'industrie des semi-conducteurs, les plaques de silicium sont stockées dans des containers, appelés FOUPs (Front Opening Unified Pod) conçus à base de matériaux polymères (PC, PEEK, COP, PEI). De tels matériaux sont capables de sorber des contaminants moléculaires volatils et de les relarguer ultérieurement en présence de plaques, entraînant de la défectivité. Cette thèse a pour but d'apporter une meilleure connaissance et compréhension de la contamination et décontamination moléculaire des FOUPs au travers de quatre axes d'étude : - La détermination de la nature, des sources et des niveaux des contaminants moléculaires des FOUPs. Les acides HF et HCl, ont été détectés au ppbv – ppmv, et apparaissent comme les contaminants critiques. - L'étude des mécanismes de sorption et dégazage de HF et HCl gazeux dans les polymères. Ils ont été caractérisés par l'établissement, pour la première fois, des coefficients de solubilité (~10-1 m3(STP).m-3. Pa-1) et de diffusion (~ 10-15 m2/s) dans les conditions industrielles (22°C, 40% RH, 1 atm). - L'évaluation expérimentale de l'efficacité du nettoyage des FOUPs par différentes méthodes de décontamination (AUD, DMS, APR) à partir de FOUPs volontairement contaminés en HF. La mise sous vide à 70°C permet de décontaminer partiellement le FOUP du contaminant piégé dans le volume du polymère tandis que le nettoyage humide ou la mise sous vide à froid ne peuvent enlever que la contamination de proche surface du FOUP. - L'établissement d'un modèle de contamination des polymères du FOUP, basé sur les lois de Fick et de Henry et utilisant les coefficients de solubilité et diffusion établis. Ce modèle a été proposé et implémenté sur Comsol Multiphysics. Pour la première fois, le comportement dynamique du contaminant dans l'atmosphère et dans les matériaux du FOUP au cours de différents événements de contamination et de décontamination du FOUP a été déterminé par simulation numérique. Ainsi, les profondeurs de diffusion de la contamination dans les polymères ont été évaluées (de quelques dizaine à centaines de µm 48 h après un événement de contamination) ou encore l'efficacité de décontamination de méthodes de nettoyage a pu être estiméeIn the microelectronics industry, the silicon substrates (wafers) are stored in containers, named FOUP (Front Opening Unified Pod) made in polymers (PC, PEEK, COP, PEI). Such materials are able to sorb the volatile molecular contaminants and subsequently outgas these ones in presence of wafers, leading then to defectivity. This thesis aims to provide a better knowledge and comprehension of FOUP molecular contamination and cleaning, in focusing on four areas: - The determination of the nature, sources and levels of FOUP molecular contaminants. The HF and HCl acids, have been detected in ppbv – ppmv range, and appear as some critical contaminants. - The study of the sorption and outgassing mechanisms of HF and HCl gaseous in polymers. They have been characterized by the establishment, for the first time, of the solubility (~10-1 m3(STP).m-3. Pa-1) and diffusion coefficients (~ 10-15 m2/s) in industrial conditions (22°C, 40% RH, 1 atm). - The cleaning efficiency of different FOUP decontamination methods (AUD, APR, DMS) has been experimentally evaluated from intentionally contaminated FOUPs with HF. The vacuum at 70°C enables to partially decontaminate the contaminants trapped in polymer volume whereas the wet cleaning or the vacuum at ambient temperature can remove only contaminants on the near-surface of the FOUP materials. - The implementation of a model of FOUP polymer contamination, based on Fick and Henry laws and using the established solubility and diffusion coefficients. This model has been proposed and implemented on Comsol Multiphysics. For the first time, the dynamic behaviour of contaminant in the atmosphere and in the FOUP's materials during different contamination and decontamination events has been determined by numerical simulation. Thus the diffusion depth of the contaminant in polymeric materials has been evaluated (few tens to hundreds of µm 48 h after one contamination event) and also the decontamination efficiency of cleaning methods has been able to be predicted

This thesis introduces an alternative potentially low cost solution for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation based on the waveform relaxation (WR) method. The WR tech-nique is extended so that, without the need for a real-time simulator, the behaviour of an actual piece of physical hardware can nevertheless be tested as though it were connected to a large external electrical network. This is achieved by simulating the external network on an off-line electromagnetic transients (EMT) simulation program, and utilizing iterative exchange of waveforms between the simulation and the hardware by means of a spe-cialized Real-Time Player/Recorder (RTPR) interface device. The approach is referred to as waveform relaxation based hardware-in-the-loop (WR-HIL) simulation.
To make the method possible, the thesis introduces several new innovations for stabi-lizing and accelerating the WR-HIL algorithm. It is shown that the classical WR shows poor or no convergence when at least one of the subsystems is an actual device. The noise and analog-digital converters’ quantization errors and other hardware disturbances can affect the waveforms and cause the WR to diverge. Therefore, the application of the WR method in performing HIL simulation is not straightforward and the classical WR need to be modified accordingly.
Three convergence techniques are proposed to improve the WR-HIL simulation con-vergence. Each technique is evaluated by an experimental example. The stability of the WR-HIL simulation is studied and a stabilization technique is proposed to provide suffi-cient conditions for the simulation stability.
The approach is also extended to include the optimization of the parameters of power system controllers located in geographically distant places. The WR-HIL simulation technique is presented with several examples. At the end of the thesis, suggestions for the future work are presented.February 2016

This diploma thesis deals with the possibility of using HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control) protocol for communication and addressing of smart metering devices with a data concentrator. The HDLC protocol is used in two DLMS/COSEM (Device Language Message Specification/Companion Specification for Energy Metering) communication profiles. To simulate these communication profiles, the most appropriate simulation program is selected. Using this simulator, the first communication profile is implemented and the second one is designed. Communication profile based on TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) has been fully implemented. To implement the three-layer HDLC communication profile, all options have been thoroughly explored. Using these findings, a process was designed to guide the full implementation. For the first communication profile the qualitative parameters are measured, which are then plotted and evaluated.

This master thesis is a part of a research project where Luleå University of Technology (LTU) collaborates with University of Oulu, SINTEF Narvik and Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The goal with the research project is to develop a Nordic platform for development of autonomous, environmental friendly and energy efficient heavy vehicles in the forest, harbor and mining industry. The purpose with the master thesis is to assist LTU in their role in the research project. The Nordic platform was positioned in the product development process, with the result that it could be useful in the fourth phase ”Detail design” and in the fifth phase ”Testing and refinement” in the Ulrich and Eppinger product development process. A methodology has been developed, covering all necessary steps going from an assembly of a vehicle in an arbitrary CAD program to perform real time simulations (including HiL simulations) of the vehicle in Simulink. The off-road research platform for forest- and agriculture applications developed by LTU was used as a case study in the master thesis. Applying the methodology on this platform showed that choosing correct simulation frequency is important and that graphics enabled in real time simulations requires large computational power.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is significantly advantageous to absolute and relative navigation for spacecraft formation flying. Ionospheric remote sensing, such as Total Electron Content (TEC) measurements or ionospheric irregularity studies are important potential Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications. A GNSS-based Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation testbed for LEO spacecraft formation flying has been developed and evaluated. The testbed infrastructure is composed of GNSS simulators, multi-constellation GNSS receiver(s), the Navigation & Control system and the Systems Tool Kit (STK) visualization system. A reference scenario of two LEO spacecraft is simulated with the initial in-track separation of 1000-m and targeted leader-follower configuration of 100-m along-track offset. Therefore, the feasibility and performance of the testbed have been demonstrated by benchmarking the simulation results with past work.
For ionospheric remote sensing, multi-constellation multi-frequency GNSS receivers are used to develop the GNSS TEC measurement and model evaluation system. GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and Beidou constellations are considered in this work. Multi-constellation GNSS TEC measurements and the GNSS-based HIL simulation testbed were integrated and applied to design a LEO satellite formation flying mission for ionospheric remote sensing. A scenario of observing sporadic E is illustrated and adopted to demonstrate how to apply GNSS-based spacecraft formation flying to study the ionospheric irregularities using the HIL simulation testbed. The entire infrastructure of GNSS-based spacecraft formation flying simulation and ionospheric remote sensing developed at Virginia Tech is capable of supporting future ionospheric remote sensing mission design and validation.Master of Science

Pour le développement des convertisseurs d’électronique de puissance, la simulation en temps réel joue un rôle essentiel dans la validation des performances des convertisseurs et de leur contrôle avant leur réalisation. Cela permet de simuler et reproduire avec précision les formes d’ondes des courants et tensions des convertisseurs de puissance modélisés avec un pas de temps de simulation correspondant exactement au temps physique. Les circuits d’électronique de puissance sont caractérisés par le comportement non linéaire des interrupteurs. Par conséquent, les représentations des dispositifs de commutation sont cruciales dans la simulation en temps réel. Le modèle au niveau système est largement utilisé dans les simulateurs temps réel du commerce et les plates-formes expérimentales, qui modélisent les comportements des interrupteurspar deux états stationnaires distincts - passant et bloqué - et négligent tous les phénomènes transitoires. Ces dernières années, la simulation temps réel au niveau du composant est devenue populaire car elle permet de simuler les formes d'onde de commutation transitoires et de fournir des informations utiles concernant les contraintes sur les interrupteurs , les pertes, les effets parasites et les comportements électrothermiques. Néanmoins, la simulation temps réel au niveau du composant est contrainte par le pas de temps transitoire réalisable en raison des quantités de calcul accrues introduites par la non-linéarité du modèle de commutation.Afin d'intégrer le modèle au niveau du composant dans la simulation en temps réel, cette thèse porte sur l'exploration approfondie des techniques de modélisation et de simulation en temps réel au niveau composantdes convertisseurs d’électronique de puissance. Les techniques de simulation en temps réel les plus récentes sont d’abord examinées de manière exhaustive, tant au niveau du système que du composant. En outre, deux approches de modélisation au niveau du composant sont proposées, à savoir le modèle haute résolution quasi-transitoire (HRQT) et le modèle transitoire linéaire par morceaux (PLT). Dans le modèle HRQT, le modèle de réseau est implémenté par une simulation au niveau système tout en générant les formes d'onde de commutation transitoires avec une résolution de 5 ns, ce qui permet de simuler le convertisseur de puissance avec des transitoires rapides jusqu'à des dizaines de nanosecondes. Compte tenu des effets des transitoires sur l’ensemble du réseau, les modèles non linéaires des IGBT et diodes sont linéarisés par morceaux dans le modèle PLT. À l'aide de techniques efficaces de découplage de circuits, le modèle du convertisseur de puissance au niveau composant peut être simulé de manière stable avec un pas de temps de simulation global de 50 ns. Les deux modèles proposés sont testés et validés via différents cas sur une plate-forme temps réel de National Instruments basée sur un FPGA, comprenant un convertisseur boost boosté entrelacé (FIBC) pour le modèle HRQT, un convertisseur DC-DC-AC pour le modèle PLT et un convertisseur modulaire à plusieurs niveaux (MMC) pour les deux. Des résultats précis sont produits par rapport aux outils de simulation hors ligne. L'efficacité et les valeurs d'application sont également vérifiées par les résultats d’essais en temps réelIn the development cycles of the power electronics converters, the real-time simulation plays an essential role in validating the converters’ and the controllers’ performances before their implementations on real systems. It can simulate and reproduce the current and voltage waveforms of the modeled power electronics converters accurately with a simulation time-step exactly corresponding to the physical time. The power electronics circuits are characterized by nonlinear switching behaviors. Therefore, the representations of switching devices are crucial in real-time simulation. The system-level model is widely used in both commercial real-time simulators and the experimentally built real-time platforms, which models the switching behaviors by two separate steady states – turn-on and turn-off, and neglects all the switching transients. In recent years, the device-level real-time simulation has become popular since it can simulate the transient switching waveforms and provide useful information with regard to the device stresses, the power losses, the parasitic effects, and electro-thermal behaviors. Nevertheless, the device-level real-time simulation is constrained by the achievable transient time-step due to the increased computational amounts introduced by the nonlinearity of the switch model.In order to integrate the device-level model in the real-time simulation, in this thesis, the device-level real-time modeling and simulation techniques of the power electronics converters are deeply explored. The state-of-art real-time simulation techniques are firstly reviewed comprehensively with regard to both system-level and device-level. Moreover, two device-level modeling approaches are proposed, including high- resolution quasi-transient model (HRQT) and the piecewise linear transient (PLT) model. In HRQT model, the network model can be implemented by system-level simulation while generating the transient switching waveforms with a 5 ns resolution, which is good at simulating the power converter with fast switching transients down to tens of nanoseconds. Considering the effects of the transient behaviors on the entire network, the PLT model is proposed by piecewise linearizing the nonlinear IGBT and diode equivalent models. With the help of effective circuit decoupling techniques, the device-level power converter model can be simulated stably with a 50 ns global simulation time-step. The proposed two models are tested and validated via different case studies on National Instruments (NI) FPGA-based real-time platform, including floating interleaved boost converter (FIBC) for HRQT model, DC-DC-AC converter for PLT model, and modular multi-level converter (MMC) for the both. Accurate results are produced compared to offline simulation tools. The effectiveness and the application values are further verified by the results of the real-time experiments

Full textAbstract:
This master thesis’s subject is to model an ABB contactor’s dynamics and to develop a hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment. The hardware-in-the-loop method utilizes computer models that are simulated in a real-time simulator. The real-time simulator is connected to hardware components. A contactor is an electrically controlled mechanical switching device and it is used in circuits where large currents can occur. In this thesis, the contactor is divided into three separate subsystems and models are developed for each of them. The three subsystems correspond to the contactor’s mechanics, electromagnetics and electronic components. Computer models are implemented in MATLAB and Simulink to realize the subsystems. The hardware part, of the hardware-in-the-loop simulations, consists of electronic parts that are not modeled. To connect the hardware part to a real-time simulator, from dSPACE, a hardware interface was constructed. This report focuses on the modeling of the mechanics and the electromagnetics as well as the software implementations. The thesis work was carried out in collaboration with another student. The focuses of his report are the modeling of the electronics and the construction of the hardware interface. Validation of the hardware-in-the-loop simulations is done by using measurements collected from a real contactor. The conclusion is that the simulations of the contactor’s behavior correspond well with a real contactor.

The use of global positioning systems, or GPS, as a means of logistical organization for fleet vehicles has become more widespread in recent years. The system has the ability to track vehicle location, report on diagnostic trouble codes, and keep tabs on maintenance schedules. This helps to improve the safety and productivity of the vehicles and their operators. Additionally, the increasing use of yaw and roll stability control in commercial trucks has contributed to an increased level of safety for truck drivers. However, these systems require the vehicle to begin a yaw or roll event before they assist in maintaining control. This thesis presents a new method for utilizing the GPS signal in conjunction with a new fuzzy logic-based stability index, the Total Safety Margin (TSM), to create a superior active safety system.
This thesis consists of four main components:
- An overview of GPS technology is presented with coverage of several automotive-based applications. The proposed implementation of GPS in the new Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) driving simulator under development at the Virginia Tech Center for Vehicle Systems and Safety (CVeSS) is presented.
- The three degree-of-freedom (3DOF), linear, single track equation set used in the Matlab simulations is derived from first principles.
- Matlab and TruckSim 7® simulations are performed for five vehicle masses and three forward velocities in a ramp-steer maneuver. Using fuzzy logic to develop the control rules for the Total Safety Margin (TSM), TSM matrices are built for both the Matlab and TruckSim 7® results based on these testing conditions. By comparing these TSM matrices it is shown that the two simulation methods yield similar results.
- A discussion of the development and implementation of the aforementioned HIL driving simulator is presented, specifically the steering subsystem. Using Matlab/Simulink, dSPACE ControlDesk, and CarSim RT® software it is shown that the steering module is capable of steering the CarSim RT® simulation vehicle accurately within the physical range of the steering sensor used.

The control and protection system of early nuclear power plants (Generation II) have been designed and built on the then reliable analog system. Technology has evolved in recent times and digital system has replaced most analog technology in most industries. Due to safety precautions and robust licensing requirements in the nuclear industry, the analog and digital system works concurrent to each other in most control and protection systems of nuclear power plants. Due to the ageing, regular maintenance and intermittent operation, the analog plant system often gives faulty signals. The objective of this thesis is to simulate a transient using a simulator to reduce the effects of system faults on the nuclear plant control and protection system, by detecting the faults early. The following steps will be performed:
• validating the simulator measurements by simulating a normal operation,
• detecting faults early on in the system
These can be performed by resorting to a model that generates estimates of the correct sensors signal values based on actual readings and correlations among them. The next step can be performed by a fault detection module which determines early whether or not the plant systems are behaving normally and detects the fault.

Spacecraft simulator platforms can simulate the microgravity environment of space on Earth, for the purposes of testing the Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem of satellites. In order to do this, the satellite is mounted on a bench and the combined center of mass of this assembly is controlled by a series of moving masses. The objective is to bring this center or mass as close as possible to the center of rotation, since solids in microgravity always rotate around their own center of mass. The air-bearing platform located, designed and built at the NanoSat Laboratory of the Kiruna Space Campus of the Luleå University of Technology makes use of four balancing masses, which are displaced by that number of linear actuators. This document explains the process followed to design an algorithm for the estimation of the center of mass and the subsequent calculation of the required positions of the balancing masses to bring this center of mass back to the center of rotation. First, the equations of rotational motion of the bench were found through two formulations: quaternions and Euler-Lagrange. Secondly, these equations were used to obtain an estimation of the center of mass via Batch Least-Squares. Thirdly, the equations of the center of mass of a system of point masses were used to find the proper positions of the balancing masses. Finally, the complete algorithm was tested with Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations before testing it in the real hardware of the platform. The developed algorithm was not capable of estimating the center of mass with sufficient accuracy, which invalidated the obtained actuator positions, and thus was not able to compensate the offset of the center of mass. Recommended lines of development are provided to assist on the continuation of this work.

A reliable embedded real-time system has many requirements to fulfil. It must meet target deadlines in a number of situations, most of them in a situation that puts heavy stress on the system. To meet these demands, numerous tests have been created which test the hardware for any possible errors the developers might think of, in order to maximise system reliability and stability. These tests will take a lot of time to execute, and as system complexity grows, more tests are introduced leading to even longer testing times. In this thesis, a method to reduce the testing time of the software and, to a lesser extent, the hardware is examined. By using the full system simulator Simics, an existing industry system from ABB was integrated and tests were performed. A proof of concept test suite for automatic redundancy tests was also implemented. By looking at the test results, it was concluded that the method shows promise. However, problems with the average latency and performance troubles with Simics shows that more work must be put into this research before the system can be run at full speed.

Les débris en orbite sont actuellement une source de préoccupation majeure pour les acteurs du spatial et pour le reste de la population, comme en témoignent les articles de presse et les œuvres cinématographiques sur le sujet. En effet, la présence de ces objets menace directement les astronautes en mission et les satellites en opération. Parmi les nombreuses options déjà envisagées pour les traiter, cette thèse se concentre sur l’approche robotique, en proposant des outils et des méthodes de modélisation et de contrôle pour un satellite chasseur équipé d’un bras manipulateur. Des modèles dynamiques et des schémas de simulation optimisés sont ainsi développés pour tout système multi-corps constitué d’une base mobile supportant un nombre quelconque d’appendices rigides ou flexibles. Par la suite, les trajectoires de capture sont générées en conservant la continuité en accélération avec le mouvement naturel du point cible, dans le but de saisir aussi délicatement que possible le débris en rotation. Le suivi de cette trajectoire par l’effecteur du robot chasseur est alors assuré par une loi de contrôle à deux niveaux, dont le réglage repose sur la synthèse H1 structurée. Une étude de robustesse est également mise en place pour assurer la stabilité et les performances du système en boucle fermée, malgré les changements de configuration du bras. Enfin, la validation des travaux de thèse est réalisée par voie numérique avec un simulateur haute-fidélité, et par voie pratique avec un banc d’essais robotique incluant des composants physiques en temps réelOn-orbit debris are currently causing deep concern for space agencies, related companies, and also among the population. ¿is is evidenced by the numerous scientific articles and recent movies on the matter. Indeed, these objects pose a serious threat for the astronauts on mission and for operational satellites. Among the various technical concepts already designed to address these threats, this thesis focuses on space robotics. Tools and methods are thus introduced for the modeling and control of a chaser satellite equipped with a manipulator. Dynamic models and optimized simulation schemes are developed to handle any multi-body system made up of amoving base embedding various appendages, either rigid or flexible. ¿en, a trajectory planner is designed to ensure acceleration continuity with the natural motion of the debris in order to perform a soft capture. ¿is reference trajectory is tracked by the end-effector of the chaser using a two-level control law, which is tuned by the structured H1 synthesis. A robustness analysis is also presented to assess the stability and the performances of the closed-loop system with respect to the motion of the robotic arm. Finally, the outcome of the thesis is validated by a twofold approach: by numerical means with a highfidelity simulator, and by practical ones with a robotic test bench including physical components in real time

Full textAbstract:
Les réseaux de transport d’électricité multi-terminaux à courant continu se révèlent être la solution adéquate pour une intégration massive d’énergie renouvelable dans les réseaux alternatifs existants. En effet, les réseaux en courant continu sont capables de transmettre de manière efficace des niveaux de puissance élevés sur de très longues distances par rapport aux réseaux alternatifs car, à partir d'une certaine puissance à transmettre, il existe une distance limite à partir de laquelle la transmission d’énergie en courant alternatif perd sa compétitivité face à la transmission en courant continu. L'un des principaux défis liés au développement de ces réseaux de transport d’électricité à courant continu ou Supergrid, concerne leur protection contre des défauts de type court-circuit sur des liaisons en courant continu. . Dans ce travail de thèse, un nouveau concept de stratégie de protection des réseaux en courant continu à haute tension en cas de défaut court-circuit est proposé. La stratégie repose sur une philosophie de protection ayant comme priorité la suppression du courant de défaut avant l’isolation de la liaison en défaut. Elle est basée sur l’utilisation de disjoncteurs mécaniques à courant continu sans avoir recours à des limiteurs de courant de défaut. Une séquence de protection primaire ainsi que deux séquences de sauvegarde en cas de défaillance de disjoncteurs ont été développées, testées et validées à l’aide de simulations de transitoires électromagnétiques et de simulations temps-réel. En outre, les algorithmes des relais de protection ont été implémentés avec l'aide de l’outil d’analyse fonctionnelle descendante SADT (Structured Analysis and Design System). Cette thèse a été effectuée dans le cadre du SuperGrid Institute, une plate-forme de recherche collaborative visant à développer des technologies pour les futurs réseaux de transport d'électricité et regroupant l'expertise d'industries telles que GE Grid Solutions et les laboratoires de recherche publique comme le laboratoire de génie électrique de Grenoble (G2Elab)Multi-terminal High Voltage Direct Current (MTDC) grids,have been proven to be an adequate solution for massive integration of renewable energy power to existing High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) grids. Indeed, HVDC grids are capable of transmitting efficiently high level of power over very long distances compared to HVAC grids since, from a certain power to be transmitted, there is a limited distance from which the AC power transmission loses its efficiency and becomes very costly compared to DC power transmission. One of the main challenges related to the development of theses multi-terminal HVDC grids, or Supergrids, concerns their protection against DC short-circuit faults. In this thesis, a new concept of protection strategy for MTDC grids in case of permanent short-circuit fault on a DC cable has been proposed. The strategy is based on the non-selective fault clearing philosophy where the priority is given to the suppression of the fault current before isolating the faulty transmission line. The strategy is based on mechanical DC breakers and no fault current limiting devices are used. A primary protection sequence as well as two back-up sequences in case of breakers operation failure have been developed, tested and validated through Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) and Real-Time (RT) simulations. Also, algorithms to be implemented on protective relays have been designed with the help of the Structured Analysis and Design System (SADT). This PhD thesis has been performed in the frame of the SuperGrid Institute, a collaborative research platform aiming to develop technologies for the future electricity transmission network and bringing together the expertise of industries such as GE grid solutions and public research laboratories as the Grenoble Electrical Engineering Laboratory (G2Elab)

The diploma thesis deals with HIL simulation (hardware in the loop). The thesis contains a manipulator created in the virtual software V-REP. The connection of real inputs and virtual outputs of the machine is realized by the microcontroller Arduino UNO. The first task deals with the control of the manipulator using the joystick PS2. The second task is a separate control of the robot using an microcontroller Arduino UNO. The resulting connection can be modified in the furher and the interface modified. The work will be used for educational purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Dans l'industrie des semi-conducteurs, les plaques de silicium sont stockées dans des containers, appelés FOUPs (Front Opening Unified Pod) conçus à base de matériaux polymères (PC, PEEK, COP, PEI). De tels matériaux sont capables de sorber des contaminants moléculaires volatils et de les relarguer ultérieurement en présence de plaques, entraînant de la défectivité. Cette thèse a pour but d'apporter une meilleure connaissance et compréhension de la contamination et décontamination moléculaire des FOUPs au travers de quatre axes d'étude : - La détermination de la nature, des sources et des niveaux des contaminants moléculaires des FOUPs. Les acides HF et HCl, ont été détectés au ppbv - ppmv, et apparaissent comme les contaminants critiques. - L'étude des mécanismes de sorption et dégazage de HF et HCl gazeux dans les polymères. Ils ont été caractérisés par l'établissement, pour la première fois, des coefficients de solubilité (~10-1 m3(STP).m-3. Pa-1) et de diffusion (~ 10-15 m2/s) dans les conditions industrielles (22°C, 40% RH, 1 atm). - L'évaluation expérimentale de l'efficacité du nettoyage des FOUPs par différentes méthodes de décontamination (AUD, DMS, APR) à partir de FOUPs volontairement contaminés en HF. La mise sous vide à 70°C permet de décontaminer partiellement le FOUP du contaminant piégé dans le volume du polymère tandis que le nettoyage humide ou la mise sous vide à froid ne peuvent enlever que la contamination de proche surface du FOUP. - L'établissement d'un modèle de contamination des polymères du FOUP, basé sur les lois de Fick et de Henry et utilisant les coefficients de solubilité et diffusion établis. Ce modèle a été proposé et implémenté sur Comsol Multiphysics. Pour la première fois, le comportement dynamique du contaminant dans l'atmosphère et dans les matériaux du FOUP au cours de différents événements de contamination et de décontamination du FOUP a été déterminé par simulation numérique. Ainsi, les profondeurs de diffusion de la contamination dans les polymères ont été évaluées (de quelques dizaine à centaines de µm 48 h après un événement de contamination) ou encore l'efficacité de décontamination de méthodes de nettoyage a pu être estimée.

Full textAbstract:
When talking about how to present information in virtual reality, the possibilities are countless, but there are also many problems surrounding the spatial location of the information. This study aims to examine where and how the instructions in a vehicle training simulator should be presented in a future implementation of the interface in virtual reality. To find this out, a gameplay was created in which four different placements of the instructions were made. Three options were based on earlier studies made by Smith (2015) and Jose (2016) and the fourth was based on the existing information in the vehicle training simulator. These gameplays were presented as a movie to a number of interviewees and followed up by questions after each movie. The interviewees were asked to give the movies three ratings from 1-5, valuing how they perceived the presentation of the instructions. To get further opinions, comments was collected from the interviewees throughout each session. In this two ways, we got answers to which of the four options the interviewees thought was best. The study showed that there were two options that stood out among the others and both were based on the concept of a head-up display, also known as a HUD. One was represented in the bottom of the windshield and the other one in the top. The result of which one of them who were perceived as best is too close to say, although the study is considered to have reached its goal, which was to help the developers on their way to a decision that will eventually be implemented.
