Teaching Linear Algebra to Engineering Students in Two Different Educational Settings: Design and Learning Outcomes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-02-16)The present paper holds a twofold perspective on a new teaching format in a linear algebra course given to engineering students. The design resembles the flipped classroom, but with various adjustments. The first part highlights the basis on which the design was built, both research results and practical issues, but also the implementation of the teaching. It did not proceed quite as expected. The ... -
Non-directional Overcurrent Protection Relay Testing Using Virtual Hardware-in-the-Loop Device
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)Protective relays are an integral part of the power grid, making it reliable and secure against abnormal conditions. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) can be employed to test and validate digital protective relay devices in the real-time simulation comprising hardware and software before actual implementation. However, the HIL technique requires a complex and high-cost technical environment consisting of ... -

The perspectives had some ethical considerations ... -
Stabilization of Non-Cooperative Satellites in Low Earth Orbits using Inter-Satellite Atmospheric Drag
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-07)This paper presents a novel solution to the problem of stabilization of non-cooperative satellites in low Earth orbits, which utilizes inter-satellite aerodynamic drag effects for generation of aerodynamics moments in the wake of a controlled satellite. Hence, by altering the position of a smaller controlled satellite, we are able to change the wake region and thus provide aerodynamic moments for ... -

A Novel Technique to Mitigate the Overlap-Time Effect in Current Source Inverters
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-31)Generally, the current source inverter is considered more reliable than the voltage source inverter due to the presence of inductor as an energy storage element on the DC link, but a disruption in the inductor current could significantly risk its reliability. To guarantee the reliable operation of current source inverter, an overlap time must be added to the gate signals of its switches. This ensures ... -
Co-simulation-based optimal reactive power control in smart distribution network
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-30)The increasing integration of distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems into distribution networks introduces intermittent and variable power, leading to high voltage fluctuations. High PV integration can also result in increased terminal voltage of the network during periods of high PV generation and low load consumption. These problems can be solved by optimal utilization ... -
A Co-simulation Procedure for Optimal Reactive Power Control in Active Distribution Networks

A Two-Stage Deep Modeling Approach to Articulatory Inversion
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-05-13)This paper proposes a two-stage deep feed-forward neural network (DNN) to tackle the acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) problem. DNNs are a viable solution for the AAI task, but the temporal continuity of the estimated articulatory values has not been exploited properly when a DNN is employed. In this work, we propose to address the lack of any temporal constraints while enforcing a ... -
