These days, many power electronic controllers are introduced in association with power system equipment to improve efficiency, reliability and smoothness in operation. These devices introduce harmonics in source currents and hence in source voltages at the point of common coupling (PCC). To mitigate these harmonics, various filters such as passive filters and active filters are researched and developed. Though these filters are extensively used in industries, they have many drawbacks. Passive filters can compensate only tuned harmonic frequencies and provide only partial reactive compensation. Also they are bulky in size and cause resonance. Active filters can completely compensate for harmonics and reactive power. But it accompanies complex control circuits and higher rated circuit components. Also, most of the developed controllers are not effective under unbalanced and dynamic systems. Hence, a new flexible and low rated filtering technique is needed. In this research work, topology, selection of elements and development of effective digital controller based on Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) for the filter configurations ? adaptive shunt passive filter, ANN controlled shunt active filter and adaptive shunt hybrid filter ? are proposed by the author. The adaptive shunt passive filter (variable element passive filter controlled by ANN) is developed by improving reactive power compensation characteristics of the traditional fixed element passive filter. ANN controlled shunt active filter is the structure in which the shunt active filter is controlled by ANN based digital controller. It has merits such as flexibility, reduction in space, adaptability to system conditions and ease in manufacturing in large quantities. Finally, the combination of adaptive shunt passive filter and ANN controlled shunt active filter - adaptive shunt hybrid filter - an effective, flexible and low rated hybrid filter configuration is developed by the author.

▼ Operational amplifiers are fundamental building blocks in modern analog and mixed-signal systems such as data converters, switched-capacitor circuits, and filters. The fully-differential structure is extensively used in these applications because of its improved dynamic performance with respect to such aspects as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and total harmonic distortion (THD) when compared to its single-ended counterpart. In some of these applications, the fully-differential amplifier is required to have fast transient settling time without slew-rate limitations. Power consumption also must be taken into consideration because low power consumption can significantly reduce a battery's weight and size, and extend its life-time. A Class A amplifier is a difficult configuration in which to conciliate all these requirements, since its fixed bias current can limit its maximum output current. To simultaneously meet both slew-rate and power consumption requirements, several slew-rate enhancement (SRE) techniques have been proposed in the literature, but all of them are either incompatible with the low voltage operation or exhibit either degradation in linearity or increase in circuit complexity. This thesis presents a simple SRE technique, efficient in both power and area usage, improve the slew rate while overcoming the drawbacks of state-of-the-art SRE techniques. In this work, several existing SRE techniques are discussed, and their advantages and disadvantages are identified. The proposed SRE technique is based on excess transient detection and feedback. A transient signal can be detected at the internal nodes of amplifier. Once the detected transient signal is found to be larger than a pre-defined turn-on value, the excess transient signal can be instantaneously amplified to turn on a dynamic current source and feed it back to the amplifier for current boosting. This pre-defined turn-on voltage results in a SRE circuit being solidly off during quiescent state. Small-signal performance and linearity of the original amplifier can be thus well preserved. Thanks to this excess transient feedback concept, the implementation is much simpler than that of previously reported methods, and the static power overhead is also very small. Using the proposed SRE method, a fully-differential folded-cascode two-stage op-amp has been designed and fabricated using IBM 130nm process. This amplifier is designed to validate the proposed method of improving an amplifier's input-stage slew-rate. If the tail current doubles during slewing, the simulation result indicates that, at all corners, with temperature from 0°C to 60°C the average slew-rate can be enhanced by a factor of 2.6 and the 1% settling time after a large input step is reduced by 30% compared to the vales without using SRE. Any further increment in the tail transient current can further increase the internal slew rate and eventually make it equal to the output-stage slew-rate. It is well-known that self-stabilized circuits, such as current, voltage and frequency references, are…

▼ Over the last decade, organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices have attracted a lot of attention and highest power conversion efficiencies (PCE) are now close to 10%. However, the performance is still much lower than that in the inorganic photovoltaic devices, like the widely commercialized silicon solar cells. There are many losses that can be contributed to the low efficiencies of OPV devices. Among them, optical loss is a big part, which can account for ~40% of total losses. The incident solar spectrum still largely remains poorly absorbed. In the OPV device structure, the thicknesses (~ 100-200 nm, at times less) are not enough to efficiently absorb light, and thicknesses cannot be indiscriminately increased further because of low charge carrier mobilities in most organic materials. Hence, to boost efficiencies further, it is imperative to improve light absorption within existing OPV architectures. Here an optical structure - microlens array (MLA) - was employed to increase light absorption inside the active layer, and PCE of OPV devices increased even for optimized devices. Normal incident light rays are refracted at the MLA and travel longer optical paths inside the active layers. Three OPV systems - poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl):(6,6)-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM), poly[[9-(1-octylnonyl)-9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl-2,5-thiophenediyl]:(6,6)-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PCDTBT:PC71BM), and poly((4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl)(3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl] thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl)):(6,6)-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PTB7:PC71BM) were investigated. In the P3HT:PCBM system, MLA increased the absorption, absolute external quantum efficiency , and the PCE of an optimized device by ~ 4.3%. In the PCDTBT:PC71BM system, MLA increased the absorption, absolute external quantum efficiency, and PCE by more than 10%. After optimizing the dimension of MLA, we observed up to 17% enhancement in the short circuit current of PCDTBT:PC71BM cells, and 10% enhancement in the short circuit current of PTB7:PC71BM cells. In addition, simulations incorporating optical parameters of all structural layers were performed and they support the enhancement of absorption in the active layer with the assistance of MLA. Theoretically and experimentally investigating several MLA dimensions, we found that photocurrent increases with the ratio of height to pitch size of MLA. Simulations reveal the enhancement mechanisms: MLA focuses light, and also increases the light path within the active-layer by diffraction. The results show that utilizing MLA is an effective strategy to further increase light absorption in OPV devices. Moreover, the MLA is on the substrate side opposite to the active layer and does not hinder the cell fabrication or electrical characteristics. It is also generally applicable to all types of solar cells due to its non-intrusive and external nature.

▼ Accurate modeling of interconnect structures is an important issue in modern high frequency circuit and chip design; such as the accurate computation of the frequency dependent internal impedance of interconnect structures, like wires and conducting strips, and the accurate and efficient electromagnetic (EM) modeling for shielded microstrip structures, especially in multilayered medium. In the first part of this dissertation, a rigorous volume integral equation (VIE) is developed for the current distributions over two-dimensional conducting cylinders. For very low frequencies, it can be reduced to the widely-used quasi-static approximation. The different VIEs, surface integral equation (SIE), and partial differential equation (PDE) with Dirichlet boundary condition method are used to calculate the current distributions. The VIE with quasi-static approximation for good conductor is not accurate enough for the current distributions as there is a constant ratio between the results calculated from the quasi-static VIE and SIE. Two more leading terms from the Hankel function have been added into the integral kernel to solve this problem. We also calculate the internal impedance by using the different VIEs and the PDE with Dirichlet boundary condition method. The different results between VIE and PDE methods are due to the different boundary conditions. In the second part of this dissertation, the novel acceleration approaches for spectral domain approach (SDA) over single layer substrate and for spectral domain immitance approach (SDIA) over multilayered substrates have been developed using one of the most promising extrapolation method – the Levin's transformation. It avoids the leading term extraction of the Green's functions and the Bessel's functions (basis functions) by recasting the summation kernel to a suitable form which can be applied in the Levin's transformation. The extrapolation delay has been introduced to successfully apply the Levin's transformation. Accurate results have been obtained for the propagation constant by only using twenty to thirty terms. The final accuracy could be further improved if only the first leading term added with the Levin's transformation. The new techniques match with or are even better than other acceleration techniques with high order leading term extraction. The two-dimensional PMCHWT formulation was developed from internal and external equivalent problems, along with the spatial and spectral domain dyadic Green's functions to deal with the arbitrary cross section and finite conductivity of multiple metal lines over multilayered substrates. The pulse and triangular basis were chosen to be applied in the Galerkin method. The matrix elements were calculated from spatial domain integration in internal equivalent problem, while in external equivalent problem we need to transfer the spatial domain integration into spectral domain summation.

▼ With the high penetration of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, the power system is facing the degradation of frequency response. The major reasons for the degradation of frequency performance can be summarized as following reasons: first, the cheap and clean renewable energy is displacing the conventional thermal generator. While the wind turbine is connecting with the bulk power grid with AC-DC-AC converter and the solar panel is connected to the grid via the DC-AC inverter. The power electronic device isolates the wind or solar unit from the synchronous bulk power grid, therefore, the wind and solar is not designed to response the frequency excursion naturally. Secondly, the wind and solar energy is highly dependent on the weather condition therefore is highly uncertain and variable. This uncertainty and variability increase the difficulties for balancing the generation and demand therefore causes the frequency performance deteriorate than before. In this dissertation, the major contribution is to design the more efficient and effective frequency responsive reserve methods to ensure the reserve adequacy and resource flexibility in handling deteriorating frequency performance. The frequency constrained economic dispatch is first proposed to incorporate the frequency dynamic constraint into economic dispatch problem to ensure sufficient primary and secondary frequency reserve. Then the model is extended to a stochastic unit commitment model with inertial, primary and secondary frequency constraints and the demand side frequency responsive reserve. The method for regulation reserve requirement is also proposed to meet the satisfactory frequency performance under normal operation condition. The Multiple Linear Regression model is applied to determine the real time regulation requirement for satisfying the target CPS1 metric. For the slower time scale, the high penetration of renewable energy can cause the insufficient flexible ramping capability. In this dissertation, the stochastic look-ahead economic dispatch model with deliverable flexible ramping product is presented to provide the sufficient ramping capability so that the frequency performance is improved and real time price spike is reduced.

▼ We consider the problem of modeling of systems and learning of models from a limited number of measurements. We also contribute to the development of inference algorithms that require high-dimensional data processing. As an inspiring example, a growing interest in biology is to determine dependencies among genes. Such problem, known as gene regulatory network inference, often leads to identifying of large networks through relatively small gene expression data. The main purpose of the thesis is to develop models and learning methods for data based applications. In particular, we first build a dynamical model for gene-gene interactions to learn the topology of gene regulatory networks from gene expression data. Our proposed model is applicable to such complex gene regulatory networks that contain loops and non-linear dependencies between genes. We seek to use dynamical gene expression data when a system is perturbed. Ideally, such dynamical changes result from local genetic or chemical perturbations of systems in steady state that can be captured in a time-dependent manner. We present a low-complexity inference method that can be adapted to incorporate other information measured across a biological system. The performance of our method is examined employing both simulated and real datasets. This work can potentially inform biological discovery relating to interactions of genes in disease-relevant networks, synthetic networks, and networks immediate to drug response. Along with the main objective of the thesis, we next seek to estimate high-dimensional covariance matrices based on a few partial observations. Notably, covariance matrices can be utilized to form networks or improve network inference. We assume that the true covariance matrix can be modeled as a sum of Kronecker products of two lower dimensional matrices. To estimate covariance, we propose a convex optimization approach computationally affordable in high-dimensional setting and applicable to missing data. Regardless of whether the process producing missing values is random or not, our novel scheme can be used without employing any imputation methods. We characterize the symmetry and positive definiteness of the estimated covariance and further shed light on its square error performance. The effect of missing values on the estimation error is mathematically presented and numerical results are illustrated to validate our method. In addition to the modeling and learning, we improve inference algorithms that involve high-dimensional data processing. Specifically, we attempt to reduce the complexity of the linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) estimation when observation vectors have high-dimensionality and contain missing entries. In this context, the standard LMMSE estimator must be re-computed whenever missing values take place at different positions. Instead, we propose a method to first construct the LMMSE estimator based on complete data statistics. We then apply this estimator to the data vector with missing values replaced by zeros. We finally…

▼ In self-biasing circuits, designers often use feedbacks to reduce the power-supply sensitivity and minimize the effects of process and temperature variations. Many self-stabilized circuits are used in SOC circuits even when the SOC has a small amount of AMS content. It is well-known that these self-stabilized circuits are vulnerable to not "starting-up" correctly so start-up circuits are often included to prevent the circuit from getting stuck in an undesired stable operating point. Determining the uniqueness of an operating point in a circuit is challenging since circuit simulators only give a single operating point rather than all operating points. Moreover, this problem is very closely related to the mathematical problem of finding all solutions to a set of nonlinear equations. Both the mathematical and computer science communities recognize this as an open problem with no solution in sight. In circuits with multiple operating points, when a circuit simulator always gives the desired operating point throughout the design and verification process, there is little evidence that one or more undesired operating points even exist. In the semiconductor industry, designers use experience and intuition to identify start-up problems. Some self-stabilized circuits designed by trusted engineers unpredictably get stuck in an undesirable operating point. Engineers often attempt to verify start-up effectiveness with transient simulations. This approach is heuristic and time consuming. Moreover, multiple operating points may still exist in circuits. All circuits we have studied with known need for start-up circuits have a positive feedback loop (PFL) as part of the self-stabilization process. As a result, we made a conjecture that, "A circuit is vulnerable to the multiple operating points problem only if the circuit has one or more Positive Feedback Loops." A graphical method for identifying positive feedback loops in analog circuits is presented for the purpose of identifying the stable equilibrium points. Firstly, since our method is based on graphical concepts, some key terminologies from graph theory will be reviewed. Secondly, Graphical models for key analog components are developed and then hierarchically used to obtain a graphical representation of an analog circuit. Thirdly, the concept of determining positive feedback loops from the small-signal resistive Directed, Weighted, Multi-Graph (DWM Graph) of a circuit will be addressed. The three-step process will be used to determine the positive feedback loops. Lastly, a method for breaking positive feedback loop and how to apply the homotopy method to create a return map for the positive feedback loop is…

Traditionally, in many countries, electrical power industry has been structured in a vertically integrated manner. The generation, transmission and distribution of electric power are totally controlled by large utilities within the region of their operation, where these utilities are the only providers of electricity. In such market scenarios, utilities have to operate within the policies, guidelines and regulations of the government while being assured of minimum profit without any risk. This assurance has led to incompetent and sluggish attitude in the industry with lack of motivation for technical innovation, efficient management and customer focus. To overcome these drawbacks of the monopolistic market, most of the utilities are getting restructured. This work addresses some of the technical challenges encountered in the restructured market such as optimal power ow (OPF), determination of total transfer capability (TTC), available transfer capability (ATC), transmission pricing and congestion management. New algorithms based on differential evolution have been suggested to solve these problems and the results are compared with other methods. Dispatching electricity and its management is an important control activity in a power system. With an increasing number of bilateral/multilateral con- tracts being signed for electricity market trades, the possibility of insufficient resources leading to network congestion may be inevitable. Under such circumstances, OPF solution techniques play an important role for the management of power ows in restructured market. In this work, a new algorithm for solving OPF using differential evolution (DE) is proposed. The algorithm is demonstrated on IEEE 14 and 30 bus systems. To meet the increase in load demand, 25% of additional load is assigned to all the buses in IEEE 30 bus system. Four simultaneous bilateral and two multilateral transactions are carried out on IEEE 30 bus system and the feasibility of the transactions is checked without violating the network constraints.

▼ This dissertation proposes a general framework to efficiently identify the objects of interest (OI) in still images and its application can be further extended to human action recognition in videos. The frameworks utilized in this research to process still images and videos are similar in architecture except they have different content representations. Initially, global level analysis is employed to extract distinctive feature sets from an input data. For the global analysis of data the bidirectional two dimensional principal component analysis (2D-PCA) is employed to preserve correlation amongst neighborhood pixels. Furthermore, to cope with the inherent limitations within the holistic approach local information is introduced into the framework. The local information of OI is identified utilizing FERNS and affine SIFT (ASIFT) approaches for spatial and temporal datasets, respectively. For supportive local information, the feature detection is followed by an effective pruning strategy to divide these features into inliers and outliers. A cluster of inliers represents local features which exhibit stable behavior and geometric consistency. Incremental learning is a significant but often overlooked problem in action recognition. The final part of this dissertation proposes a new action recognition algorithm based on sequential learning and adaptive representation of the human body using Pyramid of Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG) features. The changing shape and appearance of human body parts is tracked based on the weak appearance constancy assumption. The constantly changing shape of an OI is maximally covered by the small blocks to approximate the body contour of a segmented foreground object. In addition, the analytically determined learning phase guarantees lower computational burden for classification. The utilization of a minimum number of video frames in a causal way to recognize an action is also explored in this dissertation. The use of PHOG features adaptively extracted from individual frames allows the recognition of an incoming action video using a small group of frames which eliminates the need of large look-ahead.

▼ Digital filters play an important role in digital signal processing and communication. From the 1960s, a considerable number of design algorithms have been proposed for finite-duration impulse response (FIR) digital filters and infinite-duration impulse response (IIR) digital filters. Compared with FIR digital filters, IIR digital filters have better approximation capabilities under the same specifications. Nevertheless, due to the presence of the denominator in its rational transfer function, an IIR filter design problem cannot be easily formulated as an equivalent convex optimization problem. Furthermore, for stability, all the poles of an IIR digital filter must be constrained within a stability domain, which, however, is generally nonconvex. Therefore, in practical designs, optimal solutions cannot be definitely attained. In this dissertation, we focus on IIR filter design problems under the weighted least-squares (WLS) and minimax criteria. Convex optimization will be utilized as the major mathematical tool to formulate and analyze such IIR filter design problems. Since the original IIR filter design problem is essentially nonconvex, some approximation and convex relaxation techniques have to be deployed to achieve convex formulations of such design problems. We first consider the stability issue. A sufficient and necessary stability condition is derived from the argument principle. Although the original stability condition is in a nonconvex form, it can be appropriately approximated by a quadratic constraint and readily combined with sequential WLS design procedures. Based on the sufficient and necessary stability condition, this approximate stability constraint can achieve an improved description of the nonconvex stability domain. We also address the nonconvexity issue of minimax design of IIR digital filters. Convex relaxation techniques are applied to obtain relaxed design problems, which are formulated, respectively, as second-order cone programming (SOCP) and semidefinite programming (SDP) problems. By solving these relaxed design problems, we can estimate lower bounds of minimum approximation errors, which are useful in subsequent design procedures to achieve real minimax solutions. Since the relaxed design problems are independent of local information, compared with many prevalent design methods which employ local search, the proposed design methods using the convex relaxation techniques have an increased chance to obtain an optimal design.

▼ Face recognition, as the main biometric used by human beings, has become more popular for the last twenty years. Automatic recognition of human faces has many commercial and security applications in identity validation and recognition and has become one of the hottest topics in the area of image processing and pattern recognition since 1990. Availability of feasible technologies as well as the increasing request for reliable security systems in today’s world has been a motivation for many researchers to develop new methods for face recognition. In automatic face recognition we desire to either identify or verify one or more persons in still or video images of a scene by means of a stored database of faces. One of the important features of face recognition is its non-intrusive and non-contact property that distinguishes it from other biometrics like iris or finger print recognition that require subjects’ participation. During the last two decades several face recognition algorithms and systems have been proposed and some major advances have been achieved. As a result, the performance of face recognition systems under controlled conditions has now reached a satisfactory level. These systems, however, face some challenges in environments with variations in illumination, pose, expression, etc. The objective of this research is designing a reliable automated face recognition system which is robust under varying conditions of noise level, illumination and occlusion. A new method for illumination invariant feature extraction based on the illumination-reflectance model is proposed which is computationally efficient and does not require any prior information about the face model or illumination. A weighted voting scheme is also proposed to enhance the performance under illumination variations and also cancel occlusions. The proposed method uses mutual information and entropy of the images to generate different weights for a group of ensemble classifiers based on the input image quality. The method yields outstanding results by reducing the effect of both illumination and occlusion variations in the input face images.

▼ This dissertation is dedicated to the development of new algorithms for biometric applications based on multiresolution analysis tools. Biometric is a unique, measurable characteristic of a human being that can be used to automatically recognize an individual or verify an individual's identity. Biometrics can measure physiological, behavioral, physical and chemical characteristics of an individual. Physiological characteristics are based on measurements derived from direct measurement of a part of human body, such as, face, fingerprint, iris, retina etc. We focussed our investigations to fingerprint and face recognition since these two biometric modalities are used in conjunction to obtain reliable identification by various border security and law enforcement agencies. We developed an efficient and robust human face recognition algorithm for potential law enforcement applications. A generic fingerprint compression algorithm based on state of the art multiresolution analysis tool to speed up data archiving and recognition was also proposed. Finally, we put forth a new fingerprint matching algorithm by generating an efficient set of fingerprint features to minimize false matches and improve identification accuracy. Face recognition algorithms were proposed based on curvelet transform using kernel based principal component analysis and bidirectional two-dimensional principal component analysis and numerous experiments were performed using popular human face databases. Significant improvements in recognition accuracy were achieved and the proposed methods drastically outperformed conventional face recognition systems that employed linear one-dimensional principal component analysis. Compression schemes based on wave atoms decomposition were proposed and major improvements in peak signal to noise ratio were obtained in comparison to Federal Bureau of Investigation's wavelet scalar quantization scheme. Improved performance was more pronounced and distinct at higher compression ratios. Finally, a fingerprint matching algorithm based on wave atoms decomposition, bidirectional two dimensional principal component analysis and extreme learning machine was proposed and noteworthy improvements in accuracy were realized.

▼ As hardware manufacturers shift their primary focus to chip multi-processors (CMPs), a simplified and robust parallel programming model is critical for future software developments to harness the resources of these new architectures. Of the numerous solutions available, transactional memory (TM) shows great promise in reducing programming complexity while retaining high performance. Furthermore, transactional memory has composition characteristics which no other synchronization mechanism demonstrates. Reduction of parallel complexity and composition characteristics make transactional memory a potentially viable solution to the current parallel programming problem. For over a decade, software transactional memory (STM), a software-only approach to TM, was believed to be only practically implementable using non-blocking atomic primitives, such as compare-and-swap (CAS) or load linked and store-conditional (LL/SC). Yet in the past two years, lock-based STM frameworks have emerged as an alternative design method for STM systems. While significant research exists on non-blocking STM solutions, little has has been done on lock-based STM. This thesis presents a thorough examination of lock-based software transactional memory from (1) a theoretical and (2) a practical viewpoint. First, a background of three important classical synchronization mechanisms is covered to highlight the important aspects and limitations of each. Each synchronization primitive is scrunitized from varying angles ranging from critical section growth causing vertical scaling concerns to practical use within software systems. Next, software transactional memory theory and a practical application framework (DracoSTM) is presented. The TM theory and practice section covers differences between highly visible TM aspects, such as: non-blocking and lock-based systems, direct and deferred updating, validation and invalidation consistency checking, early and late conflict detection and atomic operational overhead. Third, a step-by-step analysis of the current lock-based STM criticisms is presented as well as a detailed counter-argument (if necessary and possible) for each. Lock-based criticisms which also affect non-blocking systems are briefly examined here as well. Finally, a concrete performance analysis between DracoSTM, a lock-based C++ STM library and RSTM, University of Rochester's non-blocking C++ STM library, is presented.
