A New Technique

<p>Suitable diagnostic techniques for outdoor glass insulators are important for ensuring the reliablilty and stability of power system. The possibility of insulator flash-over increases, especially when the insulator is covered by pollution layers or has an internal defect. In this paper, a new technique to detect the pollution level and invisible damage by measuring the surface temperature of glass disc insulators is proposed. A high definition camera had been used to determine the surface temperatures of four glass insulators. The effects of applied voltage on the surface temperature and its distribution were studied. The results show the possibility of using the infrarad camera to detect the aging level and invisible damages of the glass insulators.</p>

Urban green infrastructures offer thermal regulation to mitigate urban heat island effects. To gain a better understanding of the cooling ability of transpiring plants at the leaf level, we developed a method to measure the time series of thermal data with a miniaturized, uncalibrated thermal infrared camera. We examined the canopy temperature of four characteristic living wall plants (Heuchera x cultorum, Bergenia cordifolia, Geranium sanguineum, and Brunnera macrophylla) under increasing drought stress and compared them with a well-watered control group. The method proved suitable to evaluate differences in canopy temperature between the different treatments. Leaf temperatures of water-stressed plants were 6 to 8 °C higher than those well-watered, with differences among species. In order to cool through transpiration, vegetation in green infrastructures must be sufficiently supplied with water. Thermal cameras were found to be useful to monitor vertical greening because leaf surface temperature is closely related to drought stress. The usage of thermal cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles could be a rapid and easy monitoring system to cover large façades.

Measure Surface Temperature

An Infrared thermography (IRT) technique for characterization of fouling on membrane surface has been developed. The emitted spectral power from the fouled membrane is a function of emissivity and surface morphology. In this work, a FLIR A320 IR camera was used to measure surface temperature and emissivity. The surface temperature and the corresponding emissivity value of various areas on the fouled membrane surface is measured by the infrared camera and recorded alongside its thermogram. Different fouling experiments were performed using different concentrations of aluminum oxide nanoparticle mixed with deionized water as feed solution (333 ppm, 1833 ppm and 3333 ppm) so as to investigate the effect of feed concentration on the degree of fouling and thus its effect on the emissivity values measured on the membrane surfaces. Surface plots in 3D and Line plots are obtained for the measured emissivity values and thickness of the fouling deposit on the membrane surface respectively. The results indicate that the IRT technique is sensitive to changes that occur on the membrane surface due to deposition of contaminants on the membrane surface and that emissivity is a function of temperature, surface roughness and thickness of the specimen under investigation.

Surface temperature fields and statistics are presented for the case of sub-surface grid-generated turbulence impacting an air/water interface. Temperature measurements are obtained with an infrared camera, sensitive in the 3–5 micron wavelength range. Results indicate that increased grid oscillation frequencies, and shallower grid depths, lead to increased surface mixing, yielding lower values of RMS temperature. Non-dimensionalization of the RMS temperatures using the difference in the average surface and the bulk fluid temperatures, collapses the data obtained for different grid depths and oscillation frequencies. This scaling is related to the thermal boundary layer thickness. The results are compared to the baseline case of turbulence due to evaporative convection without an oscillating grid.

Infrared thermography (IRT) has been widely employed to identify the defects illustrated in building facades. However, the IRT covered with a shadow is hard to be applied to determine the defects shown in the IRT. The study proposed an approach based on the multiplicated model to describe quantitively the shadow effects, and the IRT can be segmented into few classes according to the surface temperature information recorded on the IRT by employing a thermal infrared camera. The segmented results were compared with the non-destructive method (acoustic tracing) to verify the correctness and robustness of the approach. From the processed results, the proposed approach did correctly identify the defects illustrated in building facades through the IRTs were covered with shadow.

During plastic deformation of materials, part of the plastic work is converted into heat, and the temperature field will be changed, this phenomenon is well known as thermoplastic effect. Based on the analysis of thermoplastic effect, the surface temperature of Q235 steel during quasi-static tensile tests was measured by using an infrared camera, and the surface temperature field and it versus time for different strain rate were obtained. A numerical procedure was devised to model the thermoplastic effect during the tensile tests by using ANSYS software. The results showed that, the heat loss during deformation process will be smaller as the strain rate increase, and the temperature increase on the specimen surface generated by the plastic deformation will be higher. The simulation results matched well with the experiment results showed that it was a good way to analyse the thermoplastic effect by the commercial finite element software.

<p>This paper will review on the existing techniques and methodologies of harmonic load diagnostic system. The increasingly amount of harmonic producing load used in power system are the main contribution in quantifying each harmonic disturbance effects of the multiple harmonic producing loads and it became very important. Literature proposes two different techniques and methods on the harmonic source identification under the soft computing technique classification. The advantages and disadvantages of harmonic load identification techniques and methods are discussed in this paper. In the proposed method, the issue on the harmonic contribution is determine and transformed to a data correlation analysis. Several techniques to identify the sources of harmonic signals in electric power systems are described and reviewed based on previous paper. Comparative studies of the methods are also done to evaluate the performance of each techniques. However, without sufficient information in this inconsistent environment on the property of the power system, accurate harmonic producing load diagnosis methods are important and further investigations in this regard assumes great implication.</p>

To estimate the disbond defects of the carbon fiber composite materials with honeycomb sandwich structure applied in the aerospace, active infrared thermographic NDT (non-destructive testing) is researched. The specimen with known disbond defects is detected by an active infrared thermography system. The specimen is stimulated by a pulse heating source. Based on the thermal wave propagation theory, the surface temperature of the specimen contained defects will differ from the surrounding sound area because of their different thermal-physical properties. The surface temperature is monitored using infrared camera and analyzed by a computer in the time domain. The experiment results show that the active infrared thermographic NDT is rapid, effective and intuitive for detecting the disbond defects in composite materials with honeycomb sandwich structure.
