These water droplets cause the electric field enhancements at the triple points (interfacial point of three dielectric mediums i.e. solid, liquid and air) which may lead to external partial discharge or even flashover. Hence, in this contribution, the electric field computation has been performed due to presence of discrete water droplets using Finite Element Method under tangential AC electric field. To overcome the singularity problem of calculating electric field at the triple points, a different method of field calculation have been presented in this contribution which may provide better understanding of the electric field distribution in presence of water droplets on a insulating surface.","PeriodicalId":443343,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Energy & Communication (CIEC)","volume":"72 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":"117043965","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 electronics for signal conditioning of the IE output pulse trains, elimination of input glitches and pulse multiplier for resolution enhancement are well-established hardware and all state-of-the-art DMCs have on-chip module of the same. The rate estimation algorithms based on the encoder pulse counts, however, tend to become erroneous at low rotational speeds. This problem is usually circumvented by a reciprocal counting mechanism, where the time between two successive IE pulses is measured to estimate the rotational rate. This paper proposes a seamless switching protocol between the two rate computing methods and presents the design of an Incremental Encoder Signal Conditioner (IESC) and its FPGA-based implementation that embeds the direct and reciprocal rate computation algorithms along with the automated changeover mechanism between the two for a more accurate estimation of rotational speed in a wide range of rotational speeds. The paper also presents the performance of the IESC over a large range of rotational rates.","PeriodicalId":443343,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Energy & Communication (CIEC)","volume":"1 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":"128705407","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 simple but effective error detection and correction scheme enables to eliminate the requirement of redundant comparators in the stages of a Pipeline ADC. A one bit per stage pipeline like architecture is also proposed. Implementing a single bit per stage design, using mono comparator per stage architecture leads to lower power consumption and eliminates the extra cost involved for redundant bits in a pipeline ADC. This error detection scheme is capable of minimizing error in Algorithmic, Successive Approximation or other multi stage or multi step ADCs. The proposed scheme was simulated as well as implemented in hardware using various discrete components and ICs. The developed error correction logic works properly for small comparator offset errors and exhibits fairly accurate results in simulation and as well as in hardware implementation. The designs, if fabricated in IC form, can be a low cost low power alternative to conventional pipeline architectures with a high resolution at a high speed with reasonably good accuracy, though requiring less area and consuming less power.","PeriodicalId":443343,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Energy & Communication (CIEC)","volume":"33 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":"121275309","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 identification of ECG waveforms and their characteristic features is an important task for the diagnosis. In this work, histograms, a graphical demonstration of numerical data of equal size, is used as an estimator of the above mentioned waves of ECG signal. For this purpose the whole signal is divided into few small windows of predefined width having maximum 60 sample values in each. The Histograms are basically generated by measuring the variations of the orientations among these sample values in some quantized directions. After getting the histograms, few zones are depicted as QRS zones having the area more than a pre-defined threshold. The local maxima of these zones are considered as the R-peak. Based on same technique, P and T wave can also be detected. The method is advantageous as it can be used directly for online analysis without using any complex mathematical models. The whole technique has been established to be useful to a variety of ECG records for all the 12 leads taken from CSE Multi-lead ECG database which contains 5000 samples recorded at a sampling frequency of 500Hz. The algorithm is implemented on MATLAB R2010a environment. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated. The accuracy of the proposed technique is achieved in Sensitivity (Se=99.86%), Positive Predictivity (+p=99.76%) and Detection accuracy (DA 99.8%) and hence we conclude that the proposed technique may be used for ECG analysis and classification.","PeriodicalId":443343,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Energy & Communication (CIEC)","volume":"56 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":"127568105","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 impact of lightning stroke in UG cable is investigated. High current carried by lightning stroke to ground creates breakdown channel in soil if the resulting field exceeds soil breakdown strength. Through this channel current can reach cable and if the resulting field generated on cable surface exceeds breakdown strength of cable insulation then also the cable can damage. So proper assessment of Electric field distribution in soil and on cable surface due to lightning current is necessary to envisage proper planning of protection scheme and strategy for mitigating severity to UG cable. In this paper, a complete study is done to investigate electric field distribution in soil due to lightning stroke, minimum lightning current required for soil breakdown, current intercepted by buried cable and overvoltage generated on cable surface due to that current. Also the effects of various factors like soil resistivity, cable location, lightning strike position, lightning current etc. are studied.","PeriodicalId":443343,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Energy & Communication (CIEC)","volume":"3 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":"132347916","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}
