Designing Software for User-Friendly Class-S Power Quality Analyzer based on Raspberry Pi

This thesis describes the design of a low-cost class-S power quality analyzer based on a Raspberry Pi 4. Capable of detecting power frequency, magnitude, voltage dips and swells, harmonics, and total harmonic distortion, the project consists of four main components: the communication protocol, the interface, the algorithms for power quality...

Simulating the Energy Transition: Raspberry Pi Hardware Hub

Before the project was started, there was an energy system integrator demonstrator. This demonstrator was purely software, there was no physical interaction possible with it. It demonstrated the energy system by simulations. The objective of this project was to design and built peripherals that represents the components of an energy system....

IoT-Based Smart Classroom: Server: BSc Graduation Project

In this work, we propose an IoT smart classroom framework which will be the base for smart classroom and hybrid teaching applications. The prototype introduces sensor readout capabilities, with which temperature, humidity, and loudness in a classroom can be monitored. Furthermore, the prototype introduces capabilities to collect and display...

The development of a low-cost photogrammetry-based 3D hand scanner

Acquiring an accurate 3D scan of the human hand is a challenging task, mainly due to the complicated geometry and the instability of the hand. In this paper, we present a low-cost photogrammetry-based scanner that is designed for scanning the human hand. The scanner has fifty modules, each has a Raspberry Pi with an 8-megapixels camera. They...

Learning State Machines in Real-Time on a Small Dedicated Hardware Device

The Internet is a technology that was invented in the 1960s and was used only by a few users to do simple communications between computers. Fast forward to 2020, the Internet has become a technology that is being used by billions of users. It allows users to communicate with each other across the world and even allows users to access data...

Design of Midway Energy (Middleware System) as part of Illuminator: Energy System Integration Development Tool Kit

Using the energy system is part of our daily routine but the complexity of power systems and its understanding have both been confined to the experts in the field. Furthermore, the advent of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IoT), power system integration is becoming even more complex for the system...

The Illuminator: Dashboard

This report discusses the design and implementation of a subsystem required for the Illuminator, which is an energy system integration demonstrator. The purpose of the subsystem discussed in this report is visualising incoming simulated power flows, visualising the output data of various emission and finance data and also change various input...

Energy System Integration Demonstrator: The Hardware Hub

This report discusses the design and implementation of a subsystem required for an energy system integration demonstrator. The purpose of this subsystem is emulating energy systems using physical table-top model representations. This system has been realised using a Raspberry Pi 3B+, which communicates information using the IኼC protocol to the...

Low-cost stereo-based obstacle avoidance for small UAVs using uncertainty maps

The last years there is a wide interest in UAVs which can be attributed to their low cost and wide range of use in recreational, commercial and scientific applications. Despite the large increase in drones, UAV flights are permitted only in secluded areas. In order to be granted access to public areas, it must prove its capacity to sense and...

A Real-time Low Latency Signal Concentrator for Ship Tracking using AIS

Global AIS coverage is not possible with terrestrial AIS as base stations are required to be build on sea, which is impractical. With the use of LEO satellites, the field of view of a single receiver is increased and is capable of communicating with many AIS cells simultaneously. As many vessels are transmitting data to the same receiver,...

EGA Membership Card System

The E-Sports Game Arena will launch an esports cafe in the summer of 2017. At this location, the company wants to introduce membership cards to create a sense of community. The goal of the project was to explore the technological possibilities of such cards and to create a working prototype that makes use of these possibilities.<br/> <br/>At the...

Smart sensors and communication using IoT in supermarkets: Shelf monitor system

This thesis tries to find a solution for the problem of managing and monitoring the banana shelf in a supermarket using IoT.<br/>The research focuses on using a wireless sensor that detects some features of the banana shelf while being non-intrusive.<br/>The three main features that are examined of the shelf are the quality and quantity of the...

Reliable Data Communication System

This report will present an implementation of a reliable data communications system, designed to transmit data from several `sensor' nodes to one `central' node and to display this data on a central display. Furthermore an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) was designed an implemented to keep the system running for approximately 9 hours. The...
