New challenges in the energy and power engineering field as well as economic and political changes in the Baltic countries have revealed a need for educational program refinement and academics requalification. To perform these changes effectively, proper formation of the research project portfolio as well as bids of the Latvian and European industry have been taken into account. The paper describes the most important achieved scientific and practical results. To solve a wide range of complex tasks and to ensure excellence of scientific research, a virtual research laboratory has been created; a brief description of the laboratory is given in the paper.","PeriodicalId":389419,"journal":{"name":"2015 56th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115410723","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 conditions are considered and the fluctuant character is pointed out of the convergence of the iteration process of the formation of the resulting indicators of the nodal power imbalances. The recurrent relation is reflected algorithmically. In order to improve the convergence of the iteration process, a modification of the guaranteed demand algorithm is proposed, which takes into account the fluctuation character of the convergence by means of parabolic interpolation of the mathematical expectation of the power flow. The calculation procedure is illustrated on the basis of a three-node closed circuit of a united EPS. The algorithm has been appraised on the basis of a 42-node circuit of a meshed EPS. Ways for further refinement of the algorithm are proposed.","PeriodicalId":389419,"journal":{"name":"2015 56th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125622619","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}

According to the characteristics of different items, the corresponding condition assessment results are given based on different methods, then, the assessment results are put into the corresponding membership functions, fuzzy assessment matrices are developed. Constant weight matrices are confirmed according to the importance of different condition assessment items and expert experiences, and variable weight matrices are amended on the basis of constant weight matrices according to measured data. When fuzzy algorithms are confirmed to combine fuzzy assessment matrices and variable weight matrices, a two-level 10kV vacuum switch cabinet insulation condition assessment model can be built.

In order to identify the zone in which Kinect successfully reconstructs skeleton, we conducted an experiment in which a person moves smoothly in the captured space. Reconstruction errors are defined as sudden unnatural acceleration of movement of the limbs. The result is a distribution map of the skeletal reconstruction accuracy in the area of Kinect v1 vision. Also, calculations were made to determine the limits of angular accelerations bending joints, and as a result more accurate maps were obtained for the capture with Kinect v1 and v2. These developments are used to construct virtual reality scenes.","PeriodicalId":389419,"journal":{"name":"2015 56th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132347012","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}

For this purpose synchronized phasor measurements from PMU are used in combination with SCADA measurements. A method of test equations (TE) is used to detect gross errors in both SCADA and PMU measurements. The mathematical expectation of the TE discrepancy is used to identify a systematic error in measurements. The non-zero value of this expectation can only testify to the presence of a systematic error in measurements contained in TE, but cannot be used to detect it. Then, a \"sensitivity\" coefficient of the TE with respect to the error in each measurement is determined. If the measurement error cannot be detected, the value of the measurement distortion is determined by the state estimation procedure.","PeriodicalId":389419,"journal":{"name":"2015 56th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121679223","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}
