The exposure dose of a camera, which depends on PWM frequency and duty, exposure time and shooting instant of a camera, and video frame rate, was analyzed using a computer simulation program. As a result, it was found that the brightness fluctuation did not occur in most cases when the PWM frequency of LED lighting was at a frequency of 24 kHz or its multiple. The experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of proposed brightness fluctuation prevention measures.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114213988","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 precise torque control is usually implemented by varying commutation angles and applying direct torque control. But still the problem of pulsation occurs during phase change. This paper proposes a model predictive direct torque control method, which cost function takes into account both torque and current control including heat dissipation balancing in a power converter. The proposed control strategy was examined using a simulation model and provides precise torque control. Heat dissipation balancing helps to equalize power modules temperature increasing the maximum output power of the power converter.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"425 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120882604","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 size, geographical distribution as well as complexity of critical infrastructures require additional systems for the control and monitoring of CIS on requested level. Municipal networks: water distribution, district heating, sewage networks etc. operate under harsh environmental conditions, however, being a part of the Critical Infrastructure they have to meet reliability and safety requirements. Their maintenance municipal networks depend on the data collected on their status, and the decisions on due corrective actions. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) or Proactive Maintenance (PM), rather than scheduling maintenance actions, which are based on operating hours and servicing volume, promises to be more reliable and even more effective. Thus, PM requires the effective combination of data collection, analysis, presentation and decision making processes. The modular wireless sensor network based solutions was designed that incorporates selectable communication interfaces, which integrate supplementary monitoring subsystems in this line in order to have different service control and feedback control.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124253001","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}
