Inverter Stage and Controller Architecture Design for a Modular Solid-State Transformer

This master's thesis presents the design and analysis of the inverter stage and controller architecture for a modular Solid-State Transformer (SST) to interconnect DC microgrids and a 10kV AC grid for bidirectional power flow. The research focuses on inverter topologies, modulation techniques, and modular controller architecture.<br/><br/>The...

Distributed Vibration Control for Robotic cantilever beams: Study of optimal control architectures for robotic metamaterials with relative measurements

Vibrations and disturbances are becoming more of a concern as lightweight, flexible structures in high-tech systems are pushed towards faster speeds and higher precision. Active Vibration Control (AVC) methods have been effectively used to attenuate vibrations and increase the bandwidth of these systems. With the miniaturisation of electronics,...

Control Architecture and Utility Maximization for a Smart Grid based Energy Community

This thesis presents a control architecture and utility maximization mechanisms for a smart grid based energy community. The particular focus is upon a central server based, utility-oriented energy community which is composed of producer-consumer (prosumer) households each having a home gateway, an energy management system, smart meters,...
