POWER SMOOTHING OF PARALLEL GENERATORS USING MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Improving energy efficiency is an ongoing process throughout the energy sector, and one method to accomplish this is by smoothing the power output of a generator. The goal of smoothing the power output is to reduce the ...
A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF THE IMSI-CATCHING THREAT AGAINST MOBILE SECURITY STANDARDS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
International mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) catching is a man-in-the-middle attack that utilizes rogue base stations to intercept the IMSIs of mobile users. Attackers can use software-defined radios (SDR) and open ...
ROBOTIC NAVIGATION IN GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS USING THE STRAPDOWN NAVIGATION ALGORITHM WITH ZERO-VELOCITY UPDATES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
GPS-denied environments, including indoor, urban canyon, and shipboard settings, present difficulties for autonomous robot navigation. One navigation solution in GPS-denied environments is to incorporate inertial sensors; ...
VESSEL CLASSIFICATION FROM OVERHEAD IMAGERY USING THE RANDOM FOREST ALGORITHM
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-12)
Classification of satellite ship imagery is an active topic of research, and multiple types of classifiers have been considered over the years. This study explores the viability of the random forest algorithm in vessel ...
EVALUATION OF UNSCHEDULED INTENTIONAL ISLANDING METHODS FOR SINGLE PHASE GRID-CONNECTED INVERTERS IN COMPLIANCE WITH IEEE STANDARD 1547-2018
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-03)
A power electronics-based Energy Management System (EMS) is a key component of a microgrid; it manages loads, controls power flow to improve overall efficiency, and disconnects Distributed Energy Resources (DER) from the ...
ACTIVE TERRAIN-AIDED NAVIGATION
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-03)
Navigation without external beacon systems has been a long-standing goal within the autonomous systems community. Terrain-aided navigation (TAN) presents an alternative to external localization but requires a prior map. ...
ANALYSIS OF RADIATION EFFECTS ON GALLIUM NITRIDE ZIRCONIUM OXIDE METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR CAPACITORS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
In this work, Gallium Nitride Zirconium oxide metal oxide semiconductor capacitors were exposed to a 40MeV proton beam and a 15MeV Argon heavy ion beam of radiation. Characterization of each device was done using an Agilent ...
PRECONDITIONING AND THE APPLICATION OF CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS TO CLASSIFY MOVING TARGETS IN SAR IMAGERY
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-12)
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a principle that uses transmitted pulses that store and combine scene echoes to build an image that represents the scene reflectivity. SAR systems can be found on a wide variety of platforms ...
MACHINE LEARNING STATISTICAL DETECTION OF ANOMALIES USING NETFLOW RECORDS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-12)
NetFlow is a network protocol system that is used to represent an overall summary of computer network conversations. A NetFlow record can convert previously captured packet captures or obtain NetFlow session data in real ...
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY DESIGN AND TEST FOR MEGAWATT MEDIUM VOLTAGE SOLID STATE CIRCUIT BREAKER
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-12)
Naval Postgraduate School and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division, University of Connecticut, and Clemson University propose to advance the response speed, power density, efficiency, and altitude capability ...
