Bringing Back the Synchronous Compensator for the South Africa Power Network—Simulation and Compensator Technology 南非电网同步补偿器的回归仿真与补偿技术
Christopher Africa, U. B. Akuru, M. Kamper
With an increased penetration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind in the South African power network, maintaining power system stability during network disturbance poses a major challenge. This paper is used to describe how synchronous compensators generally help to boost grid inertia and improve network dynamics in the event of a disturbance. The paper is also used to describe the functioning of a new type of synchronous compensator—the wound-field flux switching compensator (WF-FSC). Experimental tests conducted on a prototype shows that the WF-FSC does not only provide a more reliable technology, but it can also extend the reactive power range by operating without any field current due to saliency.
随着太阳能和风能等可再生能源在南非电网中的渗透率不断提高,在电网扰动期间保持电力系统的稳定是一项重大挑战。本文描述了同步补偿器在发生干扰时如何帮助提高电网惯性和改善网络动力学。本文还介绍了一种新型同步补偿器——绕场磁通开关补偿器(WF-FSC)的功能。在样机上进行的实验测试表明,WF-FSC不仅提供了一种更可靠的技术,而且由于显着性,它还可以在没有任何场电流的情况下工作,从而延长无功功率范围。

A Comparison of Skin Detection Algorithms for Hand Gesture Recognition 手势识别中皮肤检测算法的比较
Timothy James McBride, Nabeel Vandayar, K. Nixon
Hand gesture recognition software is becoming more accessible with the advances in depth cameras and sensors, but these sensors are still expensive and not freely available. A real time Hand Gesture Recognition software is designed to work with a low cost monocular web camera. Skin detection and skin extraction is a common form of image processing used for gesture recognition. A comparison of three different skin detection algorithms is performed. The three algorithms are: YCbCr thresholding, RGB-H-CrCb thresholding and KNN Classification. The results obtained for each algorithm show that the algorithms are unreliable with a low mean and a large standard deviation. It was concluded that the uncertainty of the accuracy of each algorithm reduces the effectiveness of the hand gesture recognition software and it is not implemented in the final design. Alternative skin detection algorithms are suggested to improve on the accuracies and latencies obtained.
随着深度相机和传感器的进步,手势识别软件变得越来越容易获得,但这些传感器仍然很昂贵,而且不是免费的。一个实时的手势识别软件设计工作与低成本的单目网络摄像头。皮肤检测和皮肤提取是用于手势识别的一种常见的图像处理形式。对三种不同的皮肤检测算法进行了比较。这三种算法分别是:YCbCr阈值法、RGB-H-CrCb阈值法和KNN分类法。结果表明,各算法的均值较低,标准差较大,不可靠。结果表明,各算法精度的不确定性降低了手势识别软件的有效性,并没有在最终设计中实现。提出了不同的皮肤检测算法,以提高准确性和延迟。

Dynamics of Maximum Power Point Wind Energy Battery Charging Systems 最大功率点风能电池充电系统动力学
T. Kanda, L. P. Mdakane, C. Labuschagne, M. Kamper
In this paper the dynamics of a maximum power point wind energy battery charging system and the implementation of a DC to DC converter is investigated. The required design specifications for a sub 5 kW wind generator are discussed as well as the modelling of the different components of the wind energy system. The duty cycle control of the DC to DC converter for maximum power point tracking at different wind speeds is done by implementing a functional generator. The functional generator adjusts the duty cycle of the converter according to the generator speed. In order to investigate the duty cycle control method and the system’s stability the system is simulated with MATLAB Simulink to determine the response. It was found that the proposed duty cycle control method is effective in maximum power point tracking. Also, that the system’s response is stable for higher frequency disturbances.

A Study of Spatial distribution of the Electric Field under the Influence of Temperature with DC Supply 温度影响下直流电源电场空间分布的研究
J. S. Djeumen, J. Walker, N. West
Partial discharge, space charge and electric ion fields are phenomena that are responsible for flashovers on transmission lines and most of time cause power losses. These consequences lead to interruptions and loss of power supply. Atmospheric conditions in general and the temperature in particular is still not fully understood under DC excitation, especially when the applied voltage approached the critical breakdown value. Temperature has a great influence on corona discharge. In this study, the impact of temperature on the spatial distribution of the electric field, which can also be considered as one space charge source under DC supply was studied. A laboratory size corona cage with an aluminum tern conductor at its center, for the experiments in the high voltage laboratory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the temperature on the spatial distribution on the DC conductor with the maximum DC voltage applied of ±175 kV and have a better understanding of the major factors that influence the spatial distribution processes under a high temperature. The corona camera version 8 (CoroCam8) was used to visualize the spatial distribution around the conductor. This has enabled to observe the effect of the temperature with the variation of the DC voltage, passing through inception voltage with the increased up to ±175 kV. The spatial distribution is denser when the temperature is high for the positive voltage and for the negative voltage.
局部放电、空间电荷和离子场是引起输电线路闪络的主要现象,多数情况下会造成电力损失。这些后果导致电力供应中断和损失。在直流激励下,特别是当外加电压接近临界击穿值时,一般的大气条件,特别是温度,仍然不能完全理解。温度对电晕放电有很大影响。本研究研究了温度对电场空间分布的影响,电场也可以看作是直流供电下的一个空间电荷源。实验室大小的电晕笼,中心有铝导体,用于高压实验室的实验。本研究的目的是研究在直流最高电压为±175 kV时,温度对直流导体空间分布的影响,从而更好地了解高温下影响空间分布过程的主要因素。电晕相机版本8 (CoroCam8)用于可视化导体周围的空间分布。这样就可以观察到温度随直流电压变化的影响,通过起始电压随增加可达±175 kV。正电压和负电压温度越高,空间分布越密集。

Coal Fired Power Plant In-Phase Bus Transfer Simulation of Forced and Induced Draught Fan Motors 燃煤电厂强迫风机和诱导风机电机的同相母线传递仿真
V. Mathebula, A. Saha
Application of fast bus transfer schemes requires high speed circuit breakers in order to minimise the dead-time during the transfer process. On the other hand, combination of high and low inertia loads such as fans, pumps and mills leads to an increase in residual bus voltage frequency decay rate; which often result in fast bus transfer scheme failing to execute. In-phase bus transfer scheme, although slower than fast bus transfer scheme; can be considered as an alternate transfer process to transfer load when main power supply is lost as a result of upstream equipment failure. Unlike in the case of fast bus transfer scheme, high decay rate of residual voltage frequency is favorable for in-phase bus transfer process; while circuit breaker closing time does not necessarily impact the performance of the transfer scheme. The paper investigates the application of in-phase bus transfer scheme to transfer load to an alternate supply when the main supply is lost in a power plant unit auxiliary power distribution system. Simulation results presented in the paper indicate that in-phase bus transfer scheme can be used to transfer draught fan motors to an alternate supply while maintaining stable boiler furnace pressure, and therefore maintain process continuity.
快速公交换乘方案的应用需要高速断路器,以尽量减少换乘过程中的死区时间。另一方面,风机、泵、磨机等高、低惯性负荷的组合导致剩余母线电压频率衰减率增加;这往往导致快速总线转换方案无法执行。同相总线换乘方案,虽然比快速总线换乘方案慢;当上游设备故障导致主电源丢失时,可将其视为转移负荷的备用转移过程。与快速母线传输方案不同,高的剩余电压频率衰减率有利于同相母线传输过程;而断路器合闸时间并不一定影响转移方案的性能。本文研究了在电厂机组辅助配电系统中,当主电源丢失时,采用同相母线转移方案将负荷转移到备用电源上的应用。仿真结果表明,采用同相母线转换方案可以在保持锅炉炉膛压力稳定的情况下,将风机电机转移到备用电源,从而保持工艺的连续性。

Multi-Class Weather Classification from Still Image Using Said Ensemble Method 基于集成方法的静态图像多类天气分类
Ajayi Gbeminiyi Oluwafemi, Wang Zenghui
In the field of computer vision, multi-class outdoor weather classification is a difficult task to perform due to diversity and lack of distinct weather characteristic or features. This research proposed a novel framework for identifying different weather scenes from still images using heterogeneous ensemble methods. Our approach is based on a method called Selection Based on Accuracy Intuition and diversity (SAID) of stacked ensemble algorithms. This involves the extraction of histogram of features from different weather scenes. The blending and boosting of different weather features using stacked ensemble algorithms increases recognition rate of different weather conditions compared to other classification and ensemble methods. The paper presents academic and practitioners a new insight into diversity of heterogeneous ensemble methods for solving the challenges of weather recognition from still images.
在计算机视觉领域,由于天气特征的多样性和缺乏鲜明的特征,多类室外天气分类是一项困难的任务。本研究提出了一种利用异构集成方法从静止图像中识别不同天气场景的新框架。我们的方法是基于堆叠集成算法的基于精度直觉和多样性的选择(SAID)方法。这涉及到从不同天气场景中提取特征的直方图。与其他分类和集成方法相比,使用叠加集成算法对不同天气特征进行混合和增强,提高了不同天气条件的识别率。本文为解决静态图像天气识别挑战的异构集成方法的多样性提供了新的见解。

The paper discusses the design, development and example of a framework for the robotic automation industry. The feature of the framework is distributive in architecture. This meets some of the challenges and requirements for a smart manufacturing system.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114148179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
