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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"1 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":"130858925","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"52 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":"129802220","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 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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"87 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":"133125591","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}

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.

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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"121 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":"116836038","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}

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

Saha","doi":"10.1109/ROBOMECH.2019.8704820","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ROBOMECH.2019.8704820","url":null,"abstract":"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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"10 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":"116888750","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 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.","PeriodicalId":344332,"journal":{"name":"2019 Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference/Robotics and Mechatronics/Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA)","volume":"142 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":"114537035","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}
