Integration of Electric Vehicles into the Power Distribution System

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular because of their high efficiency and sustainability. However, EVs represent an intensive electric load. Their penetration to the power system poses significant challenges to power distribution system operation and control, such as voltage drop and transformer overload. This study will evaluate the impact of EV penetration on Saskatchewan’s […]

MBSE for Modeling, Evaluation, and Optimization of Modular Robotic Systems: Case Study on AIS

Since 1960, System engineering has been used as an approach for multidisciplinary and concurrent design of complex systems. It relies on a system-centered thinking to solve problems and different design process models have been used for system engineering such as V-model. Model-based System engineering (MBSE) was developed to replace documents with models. AIS is developing […]

Investigation of Water-in-Oil Emulsion on CSI Solvent Dissolution and Ex-solution Performance for Heavy Oil

This research work will establish a systematic workflow for analyzing transient equilibrium foamy oil phase behavior by coupling the CCEC tests, depletion rate and presence of water-in-oil emulsion which are seldom performed for heavy oil. It will provide a strong connection and comparison with previously studies which was conducted in the absence of water-in-oil emulsion. […]
