Operating stresses on these machines are electrical, mechanical, thermal, magnetic and environmental in nature and might result in internal faults. Avoiding unscheduled maintenance and repair intervention can prevent losses in money, material, manpower and time in process industries. Detection of faults in its early stage becomes an indispensable need especially in critical applications. Mathematical model based simulation studies will support fault signature identification to a great extent. Conventional d-q model of AC machines are not generally used for internal fault diagnoses. In this paper a novel attempt is made for simulating eccentricity related faults by modifying conventional d-q model of three phase induction motor. Characteristic fault signatures were identified in the stator current frequency spectrum for static, dynamic and mixed eccentricity conditions. The increase in magnitudes of these characteristic frequency components with increase in severity of faults is also established through model based simulation studies. The experimental study results presented for static eccentricity in a three phase squirrel cage induction motor clearly validates the modelling approach.","PeriodicalId":385907,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126006629","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}

Image processing is required to improve the pictorial information for human perception and for autonomous machine applications. It finds application in various fields such as quality control, remote sensing, imaging science, etc. It also finds application in areas where efficient storage and transmission of images is necessary, Say for example; we want to store an image in the computer with less disk space. Also, in cases where we want to signal an image or video on a transmission medium with less bandwidth communication channel. Images are usually in the form of matrices and an uncompressed image uses huge number of bytes for storage. Image compression is used to reduce the size of the bitmap without compromising on the quality of an image. This enables to store large number of images in the same given amount of storage space. Image compression will also reduce the time taken to transmit or to download images from the internet. Many methods are available to compress an image file. The image compression methods which have gained popularity are the transform based coding methods like Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) and fractals. However these methods have drawbacks like low compression ratio and high encoding time. In this paper a new hybrid methodology is proposed by combining lossy and lossless compression methods. The proposed hybrid technique combines DCT and fractal quadtree decomposition with Huffman encoding of threshold value 0.2. The results obtained from the proposed method are then compared with state-of-the-art compression methods.","PeriodicalId":385907,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114982989","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 cumulative strain from these abnormal forces lead to winding damages. Occurrence of damages can be detected with high sensitivity using the well-known frequency response method. The damages most often manifest as a right or left shift of the peak/trough in the frequency response. It is beneficial to the operator looking at these shifts to know extent of severity of a damage, to enable taking a decision whether to continue operation of the transformer or not. Presently, there exists no such assistance. With this motivation, this paper proposes a new index that can effectively capture the severity of damage of any kind and be applicable to all kinds of windings. In this preliminary work, simulation results on a fully coupled ladder network along with practical measurements on a model-coil are presented to demonstrate efficacy of the proposed index to qualitatively capture the severity of a damage. In this preliminary work, damage is simulated as a discrete change in an element of the ladder network or model-coil.","PeriodicalId":385907,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127865265","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 paper presents a novel approach based on use of negative sequence components for incipient inter-turn fault detection. This technique offers higher sensitivity as compared with conventional phase based protection scheme.

High voltage insulators installed near coastal areas are heavily contaminated with sea salt. In winter, due to the combined effect of sea salt and cold fog deposition, leakage current (LC) may flow on the insulators and surface degradation may take place, which may lead to surface flashover and consequently, to premature failure of power network systems. The leakage current waveform has a strong relationship with the contamination level, fog conditions and applied voltage. The investigation of LC before the flashover is essential to the reliability and secure operation of outdoor insulators. To determine the leakage current (LC) performance of high voltage silicone rubber insulators, laboratory investigation was carried out in an environmental chamber to understand this phenomenon and to simulate different behavior on the insulator surface. The performance of LC was investigated in laboratory during three different periods i.e. wetting period, drying period and dry band arcing period. Also for better understanding of insulator leakage current response an electrical model was used for computer based simulation using EMTP software. The relationship was analyzed on experimental and simulation work on the bases of magnitude and total harmonic distortion (THD).","PeriodicalId":385907,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"37 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132767627","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}
