Multi-area unit commitment via sequential method and a DC power flow network model.
(1997)
The sequential bidding unit commitment method employs an iterative procedure. Each iteration consists of two phases--the sequential commitment phase and the price adjustment phase. The principle of the sequential bidding ...
Channel coding and reduced-complexity detection for magnetic recording.
(1997)
As an application, a modified EEPR4 (MEEPR4) channel with a 3-candidate LVA is shown to exhibit a 2 dB LVA gain. In addition, an error detection code is designed to increase the minimum distance by more than 2 dB with a ...
Estimation of production cost variance using chronological simulation.
(1997)
Production costs are usually simulated on the basis that the availability of generation capacity is subject to random failures of system generating units. In order to estimate the variance of cost, both the random forced ...
IV-VI semiconductor structures for laser fabrication of silicon.
(1998)
This dissertation describes experiments undertaken to develop techniques required to develop IV-VI lasers grown on silicon. A review of the IV-VI materials system, diode laser structures, recent IV-VI laser results, epitaxial ...
Molecular beam epitaxial growth and characterization of europium-doped calcium fluoride and fabrication of visible electroluminescent devices on silicon.
(1998)
An indirect band-gap precludes the possibility of efficient luminescence from Si. The widespread use of Si in electronics and rapid advances in Si device processing and design justifies the search for Si-based light emitters ...
Characterization of IV-VI semiconductor materials and devices by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
(1999)
Emissions from a commercial IV-VI semiconductor PbEuSe diode laser were also obtained using a modular type MR spectrometer. The laser exhibits wide (up to 4 cm-1) continuous wave, single-mode tuning regions between 90 K ...
Design of optimal subband filter banks for image discrimination.
(1999)
Performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated in extensive experiments, which justify the new approaches.
Graph models and system diagnosis.
(1997)
The connectivity of a system is an important measure of fault tolerance. Typical interconnection networks are sparse and symmetrical. The classical diagnosis theories, such as t-diagnosability, are not appropriate for these ...
Development of a thermoelectrically cooled IV-VI semiconductor diode laser using epitaxial lift-off techniques.
(1997)
A potential solution to the operating temperature problem is to employ epitaxial lift-off techniques in order to transfer the semiconductor device from its thermally resistive substrate to copper, a superior thermal ...
An analysis of short-term risk in power system planning.
(1997)
The results presented in this dissertation are as follows: The impact of weather forecasts on Bayesian load forecasting as a function of forecast lead time is shown in Chapter 2. Risk in the presence of load forecast ...
