This paper presents an improved Walsh function IWF algorithms as an alternative approach for active and reactive powers measurement in linear and nonlinear, balanced and unbalanced sinusoidal three-phase load system. It takes advantage of Walsh function unified approach, simple algorithm and its intrinsic high level of accuracy as a result of coefficient characteristics and energy behaviour representation. The developed algorithm was modeled on the Matlab Simulink software; different types of load, linear and nonlinear, were also modeled based on practical voltage and current waveforms and tested with the proposed improved Walsh algorithms. The IEEE standard 1459–2000 which is based on fast Fourier transform FFT approach was used as benchmark for the linear load system. The data obtained from laboratory experiment to determine power components in harmonic load systems using Fluke 435 power quality analyzer PQA which complies with IEC/EN61010-1-2001 standard was modeled and used to validate the improved algorithm for nonlinear load measurement. The results showed that the algorithm has the potential to effectively measure three-phase power components under different load conditions.

Due the complexity of control and automation networks in modern industries, sensor-based systems stand out as effective approaches for failure detection in electrical and mechanical machines. This kind of intervention has a high operational value in industrial scenarios, once it can avoid corrective maintenance stops, i.e., before the failure reaches a high level of severity and compromises the machine. Consequently, the development of sensors applied to non-destructive techniques (NDT) for failure monitoring in electrical machines has become a recurrent theme in recent studies. In this context, this paper investigates the application of low-cost piezoelectric sensors for vibration analysis, which is an NDT that has already proved to be efficient for the detection of many structural anomalies in induction motors. Further, the proposed work presents a low-cost alternative approach for expensive commercial sensors, which will make this NDT more attractive for industrial applications. To describe the piezoelectric sensor frequency response, a pencil lead break (PLB) test was performed. After this validation, the Root Mean Square (RMS) value from the voltage samples obtained in the test bench was used as a signal processing method. A comparison between the results for different levels of mechanical load attached to the machine shaft indicated not only the successful performance of the low-cost sensors for load estimation purposes, but also showed that oversized motors may present higher vibration levels in some components that could cause mechanical wearing.

<p>This paper presents the adaptive filtering based least mean square control<br />algorithm for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in three-phase<br />grid tied system for linear/non-linear load, to solve the power quality<br />problems caused by solid-state equipment and devices. This is shown that the<br />active component weights obtained from the load currents in the LMS<br />adaptive filter are used to produce the reference currents and subsequently<br />produces the switching pulses for VSC of the compensator. The complete<br />circuit along with the adaptive technique and diode bridge rectifier type nonlinear load is simulated in Matlab/Simulink software. Initially the circuit was<br />simulated for a three phase linear inductive load. Later it was simulated for a<br />rectifier load connected at PCC with a disconnection of the load of any phase<br />for a short duration of time. It is concluded that the harmonics are found<br />within the limit. The harmonics and power results for both types of loads are<br />compared in a tabular form. Hence this three phase system with<br />DSTATCOM improves the power quality in the three-phase distribution<br />network therefore, serves to provide harmonics reduction, load balancing and<br />regulating the terminal voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC).</p>

It has been well recognized that the methods for electrical load modeling have significant impacts on the power systems operation, simulation, analysis and security assessment. Compared with the power grid of infinite capacity, the equipment power system with a large number of power electronic devices has larger internal resistance, and the application objects of the model face to the three-phase four-wire independent power supply system. Therefore, this paper deals with the problem of the three-phase four-wire harmonic load modeling in the equipment power system of infinite capacity, including the basic idea and principle of nonlinear load design, the main circuit structure of the chosen four-leg PWM converter, and the overall control strategy. Based on FFT analysis comparison between the real measured data and the simulation data, it is further shown that the load model can reproduce accurately the current waveform distortion, and simulate the harmonic characteristics of the steady state and transient state of equipment power system.


This paper presents the performance of Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) based grid connected multilevel inverter scheme having linear and nonlinear load connected at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). Initially the analysis was carried out for the complete inverter circuit resulting in a slightly higher harmonics in PCC voltage and current, which can be further reduced to a lower value by connecting a filter. For a linear RL load, due to the filter, the THD in PCC voltage is reduced from 13% to below 5% (IEEE standard) and the THD in grid current decreases to below 5% from 14.8%. Similarly for a nonlinear load at PCC, a Diode Bridge, the harmonics in PCC voltage and the grid current can be further reduced to the lower level by connecting filter. The results obtained from simulation using SIMULINK/MATLAB Software are tabulated for SPV based grid tied system and also explained graphically.

Pengendali ini akan diuji dengan beban linier maupun nonlinier. Beban nonlinier berupa rangkaian penyearah dengan filter kapasitor. Berdasarkan pengujian simulasi didapatkan bahwa pengendali PI+feedforward lebih cepat tanggap terhadap gangguan yang dibuktikan dengan nilai kesalahan rata-rata absolut sekitar 73% lebih kecil dari pengendali PI. Hasil Simulasi menunjukkan bahwa multilevel inverter dengan kendali PI menghasilkan THDv sebesar 0,669% pada beban linier dan sebesar 1,263% pada kondisi beban nonlinier. Sedangkan dengan kendali PI+feedforward menghasilkan THDv sebesar 0,292% pada beban linier dan sebesar 1,044% pada kondisi beban nonlinier.Kata kunci: mutilevel inverter, pengendali PI, feedforward, beban non-linier ABSTRACTA multilevel inverter power converter is expected to be able to supply ideal AC voltage in linear and nonlinear load conditions.

3D maps such as Google Earth and Apple Maps (3D mode), in which users can see and navigate in 3D models of real worlds, are widely available in current mobile and desktop environments. Users usually use a monitor for display and a keyboard/mouse for interaction. Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are currently attracting great attention from industry and consumers because they can provide an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience at an affordable cost. However, conventional keyboard and mouse interfaces decrease the level of immersion because the manipulation method does not resemble actual actions in reality, which often makes the traditional interface method inappropriate for the navigation of 3D maps in virtual environments. From this motivation, we design immersive gesture interfaces for the navigation of 3D maps which are suitable for HMD-based virtual environments. We also describe a simple algorithm to capture and recognize the gestures in real-time using a Kinect depth camera. We evaluated the usability of the proposed gesture interfaces and compared them with conventional keyboard and mouse-based interfaces. Results of the user study indicate that our gesture interfaces are preferable for obtaining a high level of immersion and fun in HMD-based virtual environments.

The increased use of electricity-dependent devices has posed many concerns to the power industry. The devices like electric motors, printers, generators, transformers, computers, etc are widely used in today’s world. The electronic devices increase the non-linear load to the power system which leads to the power quality (PQ) issues by which the electrical devices may get affected with fluctuation causing equipment failure, power system failure, etc. In order to resolve the PQ related issues and harmonics mitigation occurred due to nonlinear load power filters were introduced in decades ago. This paper deals with the review of existing researches that uses power filters and other methods for power quality improvement. The paper also gives gaps and the current state of the art in the recent researches which have futuristic scope in the research domain.
