The Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) Cortex-M3 was adopted to design digital adjustable harmonic excitation source, and its effective output power can up to 70 W. The Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and ARM Cortex-M4 were introduced to design 15 channels high speed data collector, which parallel local-storage rate of each channel can reach 4.7 kHz. The electromagnetic focusing excitation array and Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) sensors array were constructed to improve the spatial resolution of the detection system. Meanwhile, the system also integrated GPS positioning and LCD real-time display functions. Furthermore, the algorithm combining Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and variable-scale Stochastic Resonance (SR) was proposed to process signal and enhance the targets. The effectiveness of the instrument and algorithm are well verified in both simulation and experiment. The results show that this method has higher integration and better detection effect, which provides a novel method for non-contact detection of metal material defects and is suitable for engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114296987","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}

Indeed, transmitting power via large distances with maintaining low losses is one of the main challenges. To improve electricity communication between countries and offshore wind, a new interconnections line must be built. Therefore, Voltage Source Converter High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) transmission is incoming as the exceptive technology in order to address the challenges related to the integration of future offshore wind power plants. In spite of its many advantages, VSC-based HVDC transmission systems can experience unexpected instability and interaction phenomena: Small disturbances that occur continually in VSC-HVDC transmission systems due to the complex VSC based interconnections and an important number of components with non-linear nature that may cause failure. Thus, before installing the HVDC system, there is a significant need for studying a hybrid AC-DC system to guarantee the reliable and stable operation. This paper deals with the stability of a VSC-HVDC system by the use of a small signal stability method; such procedure enables to study the stability of a linearized VSC-HVDC system through state-space modeling and eigenvalue-based stability analysis.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132228175","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}

In this paper is reported a new design and implementation of combining solar and hydro-electric power. The turbine and gearbox system used in this design is fabricated from scarp parts of used appliances. The hydro head of the Pico-Hydro plant commissioned was 5m which accumulated a hydraulic potency of the stream of about 5.886kW. The prime mover of the generator consisted of a modified crossflow turbine that is coupled with a gearbox to amplify the rpm of the system. A 500W synchronous generator was driven by the prime mover to generate raw phase shifted AC power. This raw power was rectified with a 25 A full wave rectifier and used in conjunction with 12 V 400 AH deep cycle battery bank system to supply power to a newly furnished double storey house. The generator output through the full wave rectifier is connected to a load controller for optimal charge efficiency. The load controller is connected to the battery bank through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC activates a dummy resistive hot water element when the battery bank is fully charged. The Arduino GSM module monitors the entire process and automatically sends notification via a SIM interface to the system administrator notifying the system administrator of the on/off state of the heating element.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134174691","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}

In this paper, the voltage stability assessment of an IEEE-14 bus system is done for performance comparison of different types of VSIs available, under certain critical and practical stressed operating conditions (SOCs). The performance comparison of various VSIs under the considered SOCs is not reported in the literature. Such SOCs include the combinational occurrence of – variation in inductive loading, single line to ground (SLG) fault and effect of one generation unit tripped. These SOCs are the prime cause of voltage collapse of any node/line. The results show the performance of various VSIs with respect to line number, contingency ranking of the line, power margin, effects of loading and SLG fault. These VSIs are also instrumental in critical line and node analysis (CLNA) which is useful in the choice of proper location for reactive power compensation required. The simulated results provide the best performing VSI for accurate prediction of voltage instability under any considered SOC. This information is essential for voltage stability assessment of a particular line under multiple causes of voltage collapse.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130935243","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}
