Induction motor efficiency test methods: a comparison of standards
(IEEE, 2017)
Improved efficiency is the task of the hour. Environmental challenges, which include climate change, global warming and greenhouse gas emission have been fuelling the need to increase energy efficiency in electrical rotating ...
Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy: a study of the distribution of hazardous elements in coal ashes
(International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2017)
Impact on power factor by small scale renewable energy generation
(IEEE, 2017)
Domestic installations traditionally were believed to be resistive in nature and did not affect power factor much, if at all. With increasing affordability of air-conditioners, and replacement of electrical geysers with ...
Evaluation of design and planning parameter impact by energy efficient measures through appliance-based modelling
(IEEE, 2017)
In a rapidly evolving industry as a result of consumer self-generation and a drive to become more energy efficient, it is necessary to understand whether traditional network planning methods are sufficient. Electrical ...
Fingerprint matching on smart card: a review
(IEEE, 2017)
Fingerprint Match-on-Card (MoC) offers the highest degree of privacy and security to cardholders as the fingerprint never leaves the secure environment of a smart card. The level of security of a biometric system is evaluated ...
2D methods for pose invariant face recognition
(IEEE, 2017)
The ability to recognise face images under random pose is a task that is done effortlessly by human beings. However, for a computer system, recognising face images under varying poses still remains an open research area. ...
Evaluation of harmonic distortion from multiple renewable sources at a distribution substation
(IEEE, 2017)
Harmonic emission assessment in a distribution network with existing background voltage harmonics is a challenge for Renewable Power Producers (RPP) aiming to achieve grid code compliance. Dynamic interaction of harmonic ...
Energy and exergy analyses of a subcritical pulverised coal-fired boiler based on the effects of slagging and fouling
(Elsevier, 2017)
Globally coal-fired power plants are still predominantly utilised for production of electrical energy. The efficiency of a coal-fired power plant is greatly influenced by the performance of the boiler. In turn, the boiler ...
Pseudo-magnetic centre identification of an active magnetic bearing for sensorless drive control start-up
(Elsevier, 2017)
A method of identifying runout of an active magnetic bearing at standstill and low speed is presented. The on-line current bias injection method found in literature is improved, but is still found to converge too slowly ...
Graph matching as a means to energy-visualisation of a counter-flow heat exchanger for the purpose of fault diagnosis
(Elsevier, 2017)
Energy is a holistic way of analysing multi-domain systems. By using energy, system information can be reduced to essential or dominant dynamics. This could be advantageous for the purpose of fault diagnosis. In this paper, ...
