Explore low-frequency current proportional converters with higher accuracy, such as zero-flux current transformers or compensated current comparators, because the current proportional standards of the above principles all work in the state of zero magnetic flux of the iron core, which is less affected by frequency and can be used to trace the value of low-frequency current proportional value. In view of this, a self-balancing low-frequency current comparator was developed to compensate the excitation current of the iron core by using electronic circuits. In this paper, the basic principle of this low-frequency self-balancing current comparator is expounded, its error performance is analysed theoretically, and the error calibration test is carried out. On the surface of the test results, the accuracy of the low-frequency self-balancing current comparator meets the requirements of class 0.001, which can be used for the traceability of the measurement value of low-frequency current.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12232","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characterisation of hysteresis is essential for enhancing material performance and constructing precise models to anticipate material behaviour under diverse operating circumstances, especially in 3D-printed materials where properties can be meticulously regulated to ensure successful applications. The experimental signals were used for training and testing a neural network, exploiting Fourier coefficients to condense signals into the frequency components. This compression extracts fewer parameters and thus reduces and optimises the resources required by the neural network. It also improves the generalisation performance of the model, allowing it to make more accurate predictions on unseen data. This therefore optimises traditional modelling that requires a complete representation of hysteresis loops in the time domain, which must be addressed with the use of complex neural networks and large datasets. The experimental results show lower computational costs during the prediction process and a smaller memory footprint. Furthermore, the proposed model is easily adaptable for the loss estimation in different types of materials and input signals.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12233","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143186379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new modelling and prediction method of mechanical performance degradation of high-voltage circuit breakers considering censored data was proposed. Firstly, multiple imputation by chained equations was used to impute the missing values in the dataset of circuit breaker closing time, creating an interpolated dataset. Secondly, the Nadaraya–Watson kernel regression method was employed to smoothly estimate the interpolated dataset and eliminate data measurement errors. Then, the functional principal component analysis method was utilized to extract the common degradation trend component and deviation component to construct the degradation model. Finally, Bayesian inference was applied to dynamically update the degradation model parameters and predict the degradation trend of the high-voltage circuit breaker. The results showed that the proposed method was capable of achieving better interpolation accuracy under the condition of different closing time censored data of high-voltage circuit breakers. Moreover, as the degradation progressed, the dynamic prediction effect improved. The research can be used to provide an effective decision-making basis for the operation and maintenance strategy of high-voltage circuit breakers.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12235","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143113102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the nature of design, they exhibit a series of errors, and most importantly, hysteresis and nonlinearity, which should be compensated before any practical application in order to achieve the highest degree of accuracy and precision. This article proposes a practical approach to enhance the accuracy of a newly developed MEMS instrument for groundwater monitoring. The hysteresis and nonlinearity errors were compensated using an integrated two-step approach with an optimized Preisach model and an optimized spline approximation, respectively. A hybrid differential evolution-hill climbing algorithm was utilized to achieve optimum models. This optimization algorithm integrates global and local search, offering higher accuracy and computational stability with a lower calibration point requirement. Analysing the results indicates that the nonlinearity error shows an improvement of more than 94% and hysteresis decreased up to 67%. The results illustrate that the compensation can be performed very well using the proposed methodology with lower uncertainty, mean square error, and standard deviation compared to non-optimized models.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12234","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method stipulates that the stripline's voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) must be less than 1.25 within the frequency range of 150 kHz to 3 GHz. The established IEC 61967-8 stripline measurement method can accurately identify the location of EMI in an IC and hence mitigation measure can be effectively implemented. In this work, the IC stripline design is adapted for ICs with various functions and applications with the aid of Ansys HFSS 3D full-wave simulations and actual measurements to study the impedance and reflection characteristics of IC striplines on test boards. A novel IC stripline structure design process is proposed to enhance the VSWR performance of IC striplines. Subsequently, a novel IC stripline has been fabricated and tested using the IEC 61967-8 stripline measurement method. The designed novel IC stripline demonstrated compliance with IEC 61987-8 specification and the measurement results showed consistency with the simulation results.

Experimental studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between blood glucose concentration and blood permittivity using microwave signals. However, the sample volume of interest, blood vessels, is located underneath skin layers where the microwave signal interaction with other surrounding biomaterials is accumulated. Here, a computational study of the proposed method to mitigate the contribution of unwanted tissue and thereby increase the specificity of subcutaneous spectroscopy, using differential probing analysis (DPA), is presented. By exploiting the relationship between the diameter of an open-ended coaxial probe (OCP) and the size of its protruding electric field, two OCPs with different sizes can sense different volumes beneath the skin. The proposed method computationally subtracts the effect of unwanted tissue, estimated with the smaller probe, from the effective contribution of both blood and unwanted tissue with the larger one. The method is validated by using simulated models and data from the full wave software CST Studio Suite across frequencies ranging from 1 to 10 GHz, achieving errors comparable to state-of-the-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12216","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142868462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over recent decades, the integration of interconnected digital technologies, including sensors and communication systems, within electrical substations has emerged as a significant driver. Consequently, there is an increasing need for precise online monitoring of critical assets such as power transformers to enhance grid reliability. This study utilizes an optical-based Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor to capture vibration signals from a custom-designed single-phase transformer model, specifically developed for experimental purposes. This model offers a unique advantage with its ability to interchangeably simulate healthy and distorted winding sections without causing damage. Using a high current source, the laboratory model was subjected to three different current levels across six distinct configurations to monitor winding displacements. The results from this investigation highlight the FBG sensor's capability to accurately distinguish between healthy and distorted winding sections. Furthermore, this feasibility study represents a significant step forward in the online mechanical assessment of transformer windings, moving away from traditional methods that require transformers to be taken out of service for inspection. This innovative approach shows considerable potential for implementing effective real-time monitoring of winding deformation in power transformers.","PeriodicalId":54999,"journal":{"name":"Iet Science Measurement & Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/smt2.12224","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142868820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
