Project Title A Practical Framework for Reliability Assessment of Power Systems

Field of study Power System Planning

Abstract

The reliability of a power system is a measure of its ability to provide power to the customer

loads with an acceptable level of certainly. In addition, the reliability of a power system

depends on the reliability of its individual components as well as the size and structure of the

system. Knowledge of systems reliability levels allows the system engineer to locate

hotspots within the network and plan for possible outages. The purpose of this project is to

evaluate the reliability indices for a real-life power system. The evaluation will be used in

the project is based on the Capacity-Outage Probability Table (COPT) Method. Reliability

Assessment in this project will be applied to test systems as well as practical power systems

such as the existing Saudi Electricity Company (Hail network).

Project

Objectives

1. Review the principles of bulk system reliability and to familiarize with previous research

efforts in this area. 2. Study and assess the main features of system reliability indices. 3. Design and simulation of the reliability indices, including loss of load probability

(LOLP) and loss of load expectation (LOLE). 4. Enhance the computational capabilities of the assessment reliability methodology by

investigating and adopting efficient computerized techniques in order to cope with practical power systems.

and Expected

outcome

The approach and methodology introduced in present work for assessment of reliability

indices present the key theoretical and analytical aspects as well as the computerized

algorithms used to solve the problem. The assessment methodology which used in this

project is based on the relationship between the transmission grid ability to link the

“existing” generation capacities with the “needed” system loads by providing sufficient grid

connectivity to enable the generated power to “reach” the loads.

Project Title Design of compact Multiband Antenna For Wireless Systems

Field of study Wireless Communications

Abstract

Multiband antennas are commonly used in wireless communication

applications due to their features. Several wireless systems co-exist at the

same area with different operational frequencies. Thus, having a single

compact antenna operating at several bandwidths simultaneously can serve

these systems and reduce installation cost and size. The project is to design

a multiband patch antenna due to their advantages over other types of

antennas. The operating frequencies include several bands such as digital

audio broadcasting (DAB), Wi-Fi, and WiMAX with wide radiation

pattern. Students as one team make design using scientific standard

simulation software such as computer simulation technology (CST)

Microwave Studio with investigations and parameters studies. Simulation

results such as reflection coefficient (S11), bandwidth, radiation pattern,

and power gain are investigated and optimized.

Project Title Design and Analysis of Mobile Phone Jammer

Field of study Electronics

Abstract

Cell phone jammer is an electronic device that blocks transmission

of signals between a cell phone and a base station and vice versa.

By using the same frequency as a mobile handset, the cell phone

jammer creates strong interference for communication between the

caller and receiver. Basically it transmits jamming signal with the

same frequency range as the service provider so that the hand set

get confused to respond.

Project Title Design and Analysis of Wireless Power Transmission (WPT)

Systems

Field of study Wireless Communications

Abstract

One of the so-called new renewables on which major reliance is almost

certain to be placed is solar power. Solar power captured on the Earth is

familiar to all. However, an alternative approach to exploiting solar power

is to capture it in space and convey it to the Earth by wireless means. The

solar power satellite concept is proposed in 1968 as a means to convert

solar energy with solar cell arrays into electricity and feed it to a

microwave generator forming part of a planar phased-array antenna. In

geosynchronous orbit, the antenna would direct a microwave beam of very

low power density precisely to one or more receiving antennas at desired

locations on Earth. At a receiving antenna (rectenna), the microwave

energy would be safely and very efficiently reconvened into electricity and

then transmitted to users. Other WPT technologies such as inductive

coupling and capacitive coupling will be also analyzed.

Project Objectives

1. Study and analysis of WPT techniques. 2. Design and modelling of WPT components such as rectenna. 3. WPT Concept verification. 4. Design, building, and testing a physical WPT device prototype.
