In wireless communications, the broadcast nature can be explored to efficiently support multicast services while the difference in channel gains among the wireless links of users promotes multiuser diversity which can be used to improve multicast performance. This thesis proposes…

This thesis proposes a knowledge based expert system tool that can be used as an on- line controller for the charging/discharging of an energy storage system in a wind-diesel microgrid. The wind-diesel microgrid is modelled, and a typical energy storage…

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…
