The models include: Persistence, second order Markov chain, autoregressive moving average (ARMA) and Weibull models. The models have applications in the areas of electricity market clearing, regulation actions and maintenance scheduling to achieve optimal operating cost. The data used for the study consist of ten-minute average wind speeds for Alexander Bay region of South Africa. Statistical measure and error measures were employed for model validation. The key result reveals that the autoregressive model is best suited for very short and long term wind speed prediction while second order Markov chain is the most appropriate model for short and medium term prediction. Persistence model appears to be the least accurate of all the models for all time horizons.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121337902","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}

This information is best derived from predicting the SPV power ahead of any supply. Artificial neural network intelligence technique is employed in this study with the aim of predicting SPV electrical power for a period of 7 days. The maximum power produced on a daily basis is been identified as well as the daily average power that is produced and predicted. With this information, the short-term availability of daily solar irradiation can be maximized. A statistical regression analysis has been used to establish the relationship between the produced and predicted power, using statistical functions like the mean bias error (MBE), the mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute deviation (MAD), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and the correlation coefficient (CC). The algorithm used in training the network is the backpropagation algorithm with feed-forward neural network. A total of 14,300 datasets have been used to establish this study with the application of artificial neural network (ANN) for prediction analysis. The result indicates that, the uncertainty in SPV power generation can be mitigated using ANN to predict its performance, thereby creating visibility as to what the SPV system can generate. This enables load balancing, efficient power dispatch and accurate scheduling.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"16 s3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113956965","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}

Digsilent Power Factory software was used to model a section of a 66 kV power system. Fault incidents were instantiated on the model. The signal obtained from fault incidences were subsequently fed as input to discrete wavlet transform in order to obtained fault features and subsequently the features were then used as inputs for a support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) for fault classification and detection. In addition, a Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) technique was employed for estimation of fault locations along the distribution line. Fault detection, classification and location estimation scheme were developed in MATLAB. The method showed that most faults on electric power distribution network can be classified with a good accuracy and minimum fault estimation error. The method is further validated on a real world power system. A hybrid method is thus proposed for detection, classification and estimation of fault location in a distribution network.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132558676","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}

Descriptors often rely on pieces of information in images called image features to discriminate the contents of images. Most successful descriptors use gradient images for determining the overall shapes of objects. Consequently, the inferred features are often susceptible to the noise caused by shadows, reflections and inner textures within the object. Significant efforts have been made towards improving the performance of image classifiers, yet generic object detection remains an open problem. In this paper, a method aimed at improving existing appearance models is proposed. The focus is on enhancing the acquired information at fundamental stages to improve the robustness of common statistical learning classifiers, as seen with the work of Holger Winnemoller et al. with human subjects.The selective Gaussian blur filter was applied to several human classification datasets to reduce the amount of ambiguous low-frequency noise. Experiments were then conducted to determine whether the unification of similar colours in local image regions could improve the acquired image features. The classification results that were obtained with the processed images were competitive to the results obtained with the original images, however inconclusive for demonstrating the benefits of image smoothing.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128841859","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 consequence of insignificant inertia and damping on grid stability and dynamic performance is further compounded with growing intermittent RES introduction into the grid. The use of RES based converters with appropriate Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) control strategy offers the necessary inertia support which culminates exceptional grid stability enhancement. However, the existing VSG studies focused on inverters in steady-state and under balanced grid voltage without emphasis on VSG dynamic performance during fault and other transients. Conversely, under fault conditions, it’s imperative to investigate the dynamic performance of the VSG control strategies while ensuring the protection of inverters owing to their low overvoltage and overcurrent tolerance capacities. Consequently, this study investigated the two methods of Virtual Synchronous Machine (VISMA) and carried out a comparative analysis to observe how the two methods ensure the VSG-inverter’s sustained grid connection under grid fault. Fault-Ride-Through (FRT) is the ability of electrical generating units to remain grid connected in the brief periods of fault and after fault clearance. Conclusions are drawn as to which VISMA strategies provide a better performance in terms of fault ride-through capability, current-limiting and recovery from faults.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124652707","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}

About 66.8 million people in the world have glaucoma and about 6.7 million are suffering from blindness as a result of glaucoma. A cause of glaucoma is the enlargement of the optic cup such that it occupies the optic disc area. Hence, the estimation of optic Cup to Disc ratio (CDR) is a valuable tool in diagnosing glaucoma. The CDR can be obtained by segmenting the optic cup and optic disc from the fundus image. In this work, an improved U-net Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture was used to segment the optic disc and the optic cup from the fundus image. The dataset used was obtained from the DRISHTI-GS database and the RIM-ONE v.3. The proposed pipeline and architecture outperforms existing techniques on Optic Disc (OD) and Optic Cup (OC) segmentation on the Dice-score metric and prediction time.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114213322","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}
