The airgap eccentricity fault has been diagnosed in the transient condition by time domain as well as time-frequency domain techniques with the help of a proposed dynamic simulation model. In the past, many signal processing techniques had been used for various induction motor fault detection purpose such as fast Fourier transform, Hilbert transform, short term Fourier transform, etc. But, all techniques faced some sort of disadvantages. Therefore, in this paper, all shortcomings of the previous used signal processing techniques have been solved by newly wavelet transform's approximation signal. The low frequency approximation signal has been used to diagnose the eccentricity fault in the transient condition. Therefore, early fault diagnosis of the motor is possible and averted the motor before reaching in the ruinous conditions. As a result, the industries may save large revenues and unexpected failure conditions. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that the developed diagnostic technique may reliably separate airgap eccentricity fault in many stages.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":92112,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in science","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 127-131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.pisc.2016.04.014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90055469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, the generation scheduling is optimized using Flower pollination algorithm (FPA) due to its robustness in solving nonlinear problems. Integration of wind power in the existing system increases the complexity due to its stochastic nature. Weibull distribution function is used for solving the stochastic nature of wind. Scenarios without and with wind power penetration are discussed in detail. The analysis is carried out by considering the losses and installing the wind farm at different locations in the system.

From the research literature, there seems to be a need for a tool which can provide an easy interface for complex queries in natural language that can retrieve the domain-specific information from the ontology. This research paper proposes an IRSCSD system (Information retrieval system for computer science domain) as a solution. This system offers advanced querying and browsing of structured data with search results automatically aggregated and rendered directly in a consistent user-interface, thus reducing the manual effort of users. So, the main objective of this research is design and development of semantic web-based system for integrating ontology towards domain-specific retrieval support. Methodology followed is a piecemeal research which involves the following stages. First Stage involves the designing of framework for semantic web-based system. Second stage builds the prototype for the framework using Protégé tool. Third Stage deals with the natural language query conversion into SPARQL query language using Python-based QUEPY framework. Fourth Stage involves firing of converted SPARQL queries to the ontology through Apache's Jena API to fetch the results. Lastly, evaluation of the prototype has been done in order to ensure its efficiency and usability. Thus, this research paper throws light on framework development for semantic web-based system that assists in efficient retrieval of domain-specific information, natural language query interpretation into semantic web language, creation of domain-specific ontology and its mapping with related ontology. This research paper also provides approaches and metrics for ontology evaluation on prototype ontology developed to study the performance based on accessibility of required domain-related information.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":92112,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in science","volume":"8 ","pages":"Pages 330-333"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.pisc.2016.04.067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76335908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
