Purpose This paper aims to develop a comprehensive model of a magnetic sensor array that will be operational for a multitude of electric components in continuous and nonintrusive condition monitoring (CM) or in readiness assessment (RA) applications. Design/methodology/approach A universal nonintrusive model of a flexible antenna array is introduced to monitor and identify failures in electric machine drives. An adjustable sensor is designed to serve as a RA for a vast range of electrical elements in a typical power system by capturing the low-frequency radiated magnetic fields. Findings The optimal placement of the most sensitive radiated fields from several components has been discovered in this case study, enabling the detection of healthy current flow throughout. Thereafter, the short-circuit investigation, representing faulty situations, is implemented and compared with healthy cases. Practical implications This sensing technique can be used for nonintrusive CM of components that are out of reach and cannot have the sensor to be held around it such as components in offshore winds, wind energy generation and power and chemical plants. Originality/value The results are provided for three commonly used machines with a single sensor array with numerous settings. The three dimensional (3 D) finite element analysis is applied in the structuring of the sensor, detection of the optimum location and recognition of faults in the machines. Finally, based on the setup design, 3 D printing is used for the construction of the sensor array. Thus, the sensor array with fault detection avoids major component failures and increases system reliability/resiliency.

This article reports on a compact and low-power CMOS readout circuit for bioelectrical signals based on a second-order delta-sigma modulator. The converter uses a voltage-controlled, oscillator-based quantizer, achieving second-order noise shaping with a single opamp-less integrator and minimal analog circuitry. A prototype has been implemented using 0.18 μm CMOS technology and includes two different variants of the same modulator topology. The main modulator has been optimized for low-noise, neural-action-potential detection in the 300 Hz–6 kHz band, with an input-referred noise of 5.0 μVrms, and occupies an area of 0.0045 mm2. An alternative configuration features a larger input stage to reduce low-frequency noise, achieving 8.7 μVrms in the 1 Hz–10 kHz band, and occupies an area of 0.006 mm2. The modulator is powered at 1.8 V with an estimated power consumption of 3.5 μW.

Noise Measurements

Abstract Wind power is rapidly growing worldwide as a renewable and clean energy of choice due to its competitiveness in cost and technology advancement. However, as the wind turbines grow, the aerodynamic noise generated from the rotating blades is becoming a major concern that limits the use of wind turbines, especially near residential housing areas. A significant low sleep quality has been reported within 2km of wind turbines locations that is becoming a problem for wider use of wind energy. [1]. Generally, continuous exposure to 85-90 dBA noise causes permanent hearing loss to human [2]. To reduce the aerodynamic noise, channeled blades were implemented in this work to damp the airflow turbulence that causes the aerodynamic noise. Samples of different diameter sizes and angle of inclinations with respect to the cord have been tested and compared to a regular unchanneled blade. Noise measurements have been carried out using low-frequency microphones with frequencies ranging between 0-10000 Hz. While turbulence measurements were performed using a hot-wire anemometer. The measured noise around the blades ranged between 20-70 dB up to 600 Hz has proven to be directly related to turbulence intensity. The best low noise blade design was recommended based on noise measurement.

Measurement Limit

The purpose of this study was to measure the low-frequency noise and basic performance of a commercial magnetoimpedance (MI) sensor at sub-millihertz frequencies for use in space missions. Normally, space missions require measuring very weak magnetic fields with a long integration time, such as the space gravitational wave detection mission requiring sub-millihertz frequencies. We set up a platform for measuring the performance on this MI sensor, including low-frequency noise, measurement limit, linearity, and temperature stability. The results show that the low-frequency noise of the MI sensor is below 10 nT/√Hz at 1 mHz and below 100 nT/√Hz at 0.1 mHz; its measurement limit is 600 pT. The MI sensor is characterized by high precision, small size, and low noise, demonstrating considerable potential for application in magnetically sensitive experiments requiring long integration time. This is an effect way to solve the problem that there is on one suitable magnetic sensor at space magnetic field detection, but the sensor requires improvements in temperature stability.
