Design, Development, and Testing of a Solar/PV-Grid-integrated EV Charger/Converter for a Pick-up Truck Tonneau

Worksport has recently launched TerraVis®, a photovoltaic (PV), folding tonneau cover, that stores solar energy into a bed-mounted Lithium batteries. The solar tonneau cover will incorporate high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels whose cells are modular, so any dead ones can be swapped out. A battery bank installed in the bed will house modular Li-ion batteries that […]

Intelligent Health and Performance Monitoring of Infrastructures

Aging and degradation of infrastructures pose significant safety concerns, especially in light of increased use of these structures. The economic downturn further exacerbates such concerns, especially for critical structures such as bridges, where replacement is infeasible, and maintenance and repair are expensive. The significance of implementing long-term structural health monitoring systems for large-scale bridges, in […]

AI-Enabled Satellite Communication Networks

Due to the fast mobility of LEO satellites, ground users need to switch between LEO satellites frequently to keep the connection with the satellite network. The process of switching between satellites is called the handover process. Every handover process is associated with signalling overhead, processing delays, and data packet losses. The optimization of the handover […]

Modular Multilevel Converter-Based Energy Storage Systems for Integration of Large Renewable Resources

Generation and transmission of ultra-large amounts of energy from renewable resources, such as wind and solar PV power, is on the rise globally. This has unprecedented implication on the operation of modern power systems, including challenges with the natural intermittency of renewables resources, stability, and security of the system following naturally occurring abnormalities. This project […]

Solid waste management plan for Rosenort and Lowe Farm waste disposal sites

The waste generated in Rosenort and Lowe Farm communities is being unprofessionally disposed in disposal sites. The leachate produced from the waste is also being pumped into the surrounding grasslands and contaminate soil and groundwater. Hazardous waste and used oil are not properly stored, and there is a large volume of waste and mixed materials […]

Synthesis of high-quality exfoliated graphene by thermal plasma: A feasibility study

Industries using fossil fuels as their energy source are contributing to global warming as the required energy for their processes is supplied by combusting fossil fuels. CO2, a greenhouse gas, is a products of combustion. Using electricity generated by hydropower as the heat source may eliminate CO2 emission. One of the commercially available electric heaters […]

Artificial Intelligence to Support Autonomous Seabed Mapping Operations

Presently the Ocean Mapping Community is spending a lot of time manually cleaning the raw sonar survey files. If this cleaning process is done by an Artificial Intelligence system as clean as a human would do, this could be transforming the entire Ocean Mapping community. Therefore, we propose a novel solution of using an Artificial […]

Use of Artificial Neural Networks for Predicting the Offshore Wind Turbine Power Curve Using Various Training Algorithms in Newfoundland

Low predictive accuracy of energy output is one of the weakest points in wind power generation. Power curve of a wind turbine provides assistance in energy assessment, warranty formulations, and performance monitoring of the wind turbines. Wind turbines are being installed in offshore diverse climatic conditions causing substantial departure of these power curves from the […]

Approche autonome pour la cartographie des réseaux urbains souterrains

Le géoradar (GPR) est une technique électromagnétique (EM) pour l’imagerie non invasive de supports opaques, souvent utilisé pour les levés souterrains. Le traitement des données GPR, surtout dans des zones urbaines souterraines, repose sur des opérateurs qualifiés et implique de nombreuses étapes coûteuses. Les résultats sont souvent basés sur de larges hypothèses et impliquent une […]
