    • Thyristor based short circuit current injection in isolated grids 

      Hoff, Bjarte; Sharma, Pawan; Østrem, Trond (Peer reviewed; Bokkapittel; Chapter, 2017-02-16)
      This paper proposes a thyristor based short circuit current injector for providing short circuit current in isolated and weak grids, where sufficient fault current to trigger circuit breakers may not be available. This will allow the use of conventional miniature circuit breakers, which requires high fault current for instantaneous tripping. The method has been validated through experiments.
    • Quadrotor attitude estimation using adaptive fading multiplicative EKF 

      Johansen, Tor-Aleksander; Kristiansen, Raymond (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2017-07-03)
      This paper presents the implementation of an adaptive fading multiplicative extended Kalman filter (AFMEKF), applied to the problem of attitude estimation in the context of quadrotors. The extended Kalman filter is adapted for use with quaternions and made adaptive to account for inaccurate measurement information. Simulations have been conducted in order to validate the filter performance.

    • Experimental study of relative permittivity of atmospheric ice 

      Bhattu, Shravan K; Mughal, Umair Najeeb; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-01)
      Atmospheric icing on onshore and offshore structures is problematic, if we don’t detect and remove it. Despite of various ice detection techniques, capacitor based ice sensing technique is interesting one, as it is based on dielectric properties of material. This technique of measuring icing event is simple and cost- effective. Based on the dielectric concept, an experi mental ...

In this thesis give a short introduce about the EEG signal. Because EEG recordings are important in the diagnosis of epilepsy. But ...
    • Parabolic reflector for focusing of underwater acoustic waves 

      Rasmussen, Helene Liebak; Flø, Julianne Tjervåg (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-15)
      Kongsberg Maritime has produced a transponder placed on the seabed designed for receiving and transmitting sound waves from vessels and ROVs. The soundwaves contain data regarding depth and location, and can be transformed to energy thus increasing the transponder battery lifetime. The transponder can only receive a small amount of energy, since its receiving area is small. This project aims to ...
    • Optimization of the mass of a sandwich plate that TAM is producing 

      Jensen, Bjarne Steinulv (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-06-15)
      In this report the possibility to optimize the mass of a sandwich plate that TAM produces have been reviewed.
