In traction system, it consists of power electronic devices; therefore, trains can be considered as moveable sources of harmonics in power system. For supplying electrical power to trains, three-phase high voltage (HV) to two-phase medium voltage (MV) by special transformers has been used. This paper focuses on developing 2×25 kV highspeed railway (HSR) system consisting of catenary system, highspeed rail loads and various kinds of specially connected transformer models. Three types of specially connected transformers, i.e. V-V transformer, Scott transformer and Modified Woodbridge transformer, are modeled and verified by DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. The impacts on voltage distortion from HSR system connected to utility grid at point-of-common coupling (PCC) with different types of special transformers are analyzed and compared. It is found that harmonics currents can have different impacts on utility grid by different specially connected transformers. Selecting an appropriate range of short-circuit power from an early stage of construction of high-speed railway until future expansion of high-speed rail loads is crucial to evaluate the total life cycle cost of the developed HSR project.","PeriodicalId":6628,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81604295","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 simulation results via the exact topological model of MATLAB are used to confirm the theoretical results. A good agreement between the simulation and theory can be achieved. Moreover, the effect of irradiance changing on stability issue is very important.

First, the proposed method divides an input leaf image into small blocks. Second, each block of leaf pixels is fed to a set of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Each CNN is specifically trained for a nutrient deficiency and is utilized to decide if a block is presenting any symptom of the corresponding nutrient deficiency. Next, the responses from all CNNs are integrated to produce a single response for the block using a winner-take-all strategy. Finally, the responses from all blocks are integrated into one using a multi-layer perceptron to produce a final response for the whole leaf. Validation of the proposed method was performed on a set of black gram (Vigna mungo) plants grown under nutrient-controlled environments. Five types of deficiencies, i.e., Ca, Fe, K, Mg, and N deficiencies, and a group of plants with complete nutrients were studied. A dataset consisting of 3,000 leaf images was collected and used for experimentation. Experimental results indicate the superiority of the proposed method over trained humans in nutrient deficiency identification.","PeriodicalId":6628,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Electrical Engineering Congress (iEECON)","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90292651","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}
