The aim of this research is to develop a software-based model to provide Demand Side Management services by utilising intelligent techniques. Read More....

One of the solutions to meet the growing load demand in an electrical power network is to introduce Distributed Generation (DG) within the existing network. With different types of power generation available at present, it is believed that some designs contribute significantly to a network's Power Quality (PQ). Read More....

The growing popularity of the electrical arc furnace in metallurgical industries causes significant impact on power grids, transient stability and quality of power supply. Therefore, it is important to model the random behaviour of the arc furnace. The aim of this research is to investigate the applicability of “black box” modelling techniques in modelling the responses of an arc furnace Read More....

The traditional visual assessment for road condition evaluation is often subjective, inconsistent, and labour intensive. This research aims to develop an automated assessment system using AI in conjunction with image processing. The system is trained to identify road features such as line-markings, and to evaluate their condition. Read More....
