Said that, protective measures to reduce lightning damages are an important issue to guarantee distribution line reliability. The most widely employed protective measures against lightning are: shield wires, surge arresters, and increasing the line insulation level, usually by increasing the length of insulator strings. Among the aforementioned techniques, one that deserves a special attention is installing lightning arresters, since it can be very effective and commonly used in reducing lightning overvoltage. In this way, this paper presents a comparative study of the induced overvoltage calculation along insulator strings due to indirect lightning strikes in the distribution lines with and without the installation of surger arresters and comparing results considering a simple and rigorous modeling of the pole-footing grounding system. Furthermore, a simplified representation of the model of the pole-footing grounding system, in which the surge arresters will be installed, commonly adopted may lead to an underestimation of the overvoltage. The results point that the surge arresters are able to isolate the propagation of the induced voltages in adjacent poles by positioning them at poles in alternate pattern. The maximum voltage difference found when considering the rigorous model instead of the simplified model of the pole-footing grounding system, for the cases studied, was around 6.42%.","PeriodicalId":120276,"journal":{"name":"2022 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133439671","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}

Concerning hydrogenerators, unexpected interruptions result in important losses to both energy companies and consumers. Recent proposals for automatic partial discharge analysis, an effective approach to prevent failure in high voltage equipment, are mainly based on deep learning. Their performance, however, relies upon the availability of huge, and commonly expensive, datasets. Besides, if models are intended to be trained from scratch, significant computational resources are required. This work compares three fine-tuning strategies applied to a pre-trained convolutional neural network for partial discharge classification. We use phase-resolved partial discharge data, obtained during normal operation of hydrogenerators at Tucuruí (Pará, Brazil) power plant, to re-train the last layer of a deep classifier originally conceived to identify partial discharges in a different context. Our results demonstrate that effective transfer learning is achieved by using cross-validation and data augmentation techniques.","PeriodicalId":120276,"journal":{"name":"2022 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122396956","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}

It is known that the promised gains of RIS-assisted communications depend on the channel estimation performance. When the RIS is affected by imperfections, the associated phase shift responses present a non-ideal behavior, which translates into unknown, and possibly time-varying, phase deviations. Such perturbations can be caused by physical, electronic, or environmentalrelated conditions. In this scenario, traditional channel estimation schemes may fail to provide sufficiently accurate channel estimates. In this work, considering a time-varying RIS imperfection model, we propose an efficient and low-complexity tensor-based method to estimate the involved communication channels under unknown phase-shift responses. The proposed algorithm relies on a tensor modeling of the received signals and has a closed-form solution based on the higher order singular value decomposition. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our proposed solution in terms of estimation accuracy and computational complexity compared to the benchmark method.","PeriodicalId":120276,"journal":{"name":"2022 Workshop on Communication Networks and Power Systems (WCNPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130205510","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}

The proposed topology for the unit cell is based on a square patch driven by two parallel PIN diodes. Initial studies have shown that this new configuration has lower insertion loss and higher antenna efficiency if compared with previous works. The compact design is achieved by using a compact control circuit based on i2c protocol, which minimizes the number of both control lines and Integrated Circuits (ICs). In order to optimize the sidelobe levels, two algorithms were investigated namely, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and convex optimization (CVO), which were implemented in order to generate an optimum phase distribution and the results obtained showed that both algorithms were capable of reducing side lobes level.
