  • Nonlinear electronic loads used at office buildings distort the voltage and current waveform that cause the overheating of transformer losses, ELB(Electrical Leakage Breaker) tripping, and so on. This paper analyzed waveform distortion characteristics at several once buildings by comparing with magnitude of voltage and current harmonics, crest factor of voltage and current, phase voltage and current unbalance. As a consequence, severe current waveform distortion in phase and neutral line by harmonics and high current unbalance rates by unbalanced using of single loads among the three phases are investigated. The results of the study can be used in making decisions regarding reasonable and economical operating of loads at office buildings.

  • The auto-encoder network which is a good candidate to handle the modeling of the signal strength attenuation is designed for denoising and compensating the distortion of the received data. It provides a non-linear mapping function by iteratively learning the encoder and the decoder. The encoder is the non-linear mapping function, and the decoder demands accurate data reconstruction from the representation generated by the encoder. In addition, the adaptive network width which supports the automatic generation of new hidden nodes and pruning of inconsequential nodes is also implemented in the proposed algorithm for increasing the efficiency of the algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the neural network training surface to achieve the highest possible accuracy of the signal modeling compared with the conventional modeling method.

  • This paper introduces a design and a simulation of a hybrid active power filter (HAPF) for harmonics reduction given an ideal supply source. The synchronous reference frame method has been used here to identify the reference currents. The proposed HAPF uses a new artificial- intelligence technique called Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for tuning the parameters of a proportional and integral controller called PI-PSO. The PI-PSO controller is used to archive optimality for the DC-link voltage of the HAPF-inverter. The hysteresis non-linear current control method is used in this approach to compare the extracted reference and the actual currents in order to generate the pulse gate required for the HAPF. Results obtained by simulations with Matlab/Simuling show that the proposed approach is very flexible and effective for eliminating harmonic currents generated by the non-linear load with the HAPF based PSO tuning.

  • Radiation detection systems working at high count rates suffer from the overlapping of their output electric pulses, known as pulse pile-up phenomenon, resulting in spectrum distortion and degradation of the energy resolution. Pulse tail extrapolation is a pile-up correction method which tries to restore the shifted baseline of a piled-up pulse by extrapolating the overlapped part of its preceding pulse. This needs a mathematical model which is almost always nonlinear, fitted usually by a nonlinear least squares (NLS) technique. NLS is an iterative, potentially time-consuming method. The main idea of the present study is to replace the NLS technique by an integration-based non-iterative method (NIM) for pulse tail extrapolation by an exponential model. The idea of linear extrapolation, as another non-iterative method, is also investigated. Analysis of experimental data of a NaI(Tl) radiation detector shows that the proposed non-iterative method is able to provide a corrected spectrum quite similar with the NLS method, with a dramatically reduced computation time and complexity of the algorithm. The linear extrapolation approach suffers from a poor energy resolution and throughput rate in comparison with NIM and NLS techniques, but provides the shortest computation time.

  • Among the desirable properties of a piecewise linear parameterization, guaranteeing a one-to-one mapping (i.e., no triangle flips in the parameter plane) is often sought. A one-to-one mapping is accomplished by non-negative coefficients in the affine transformation. In the Floater's method, the coefficients were computed after the 3D mesh was flattened by geodesic polar-mapping. But using this geodesic polar map introduces unnecessary local distortion. In this paper, a simple variant of the original shape-preserving mapping technique by Floater is introduced. A new simple method for calculating barycentric coordinates by using straightest geodesics is proposed. With this method, the non-negative coefficients are computed directly on the mesh, reducing the shape distortion introduced by the previously-used polar mapping. The parameterization is then found by solving a sparse linear system, and it provides a simple and visually-smooth piecewise linear mapping, without foldovers.

  • Wide use of non-linear loads such as personal computers, monitors, laser printers, variable speed drives, UPS systems and other electronic equipment have led to harmonics becoming #1 issue in the electrical industry today. Commercial and Industrial building power distribution systems, designed for the old, linear-style loads especially when found in high densities. Some common power system problems include overloaded neutral conductors, overheated distribution transfOlmers, high neutral-to-ground voltage, poor power factor and distortion of the voltage waveform supplying these loads. The power quality problems, particularly high voltage distortion, have been known to cause equipment downtime due to malfunctions and component failure.

  • The purpose of this study was to aid in the use of the digital images by edge-detect interpolation for direct digital periapical images using edge-detect interpolation. This study was performed by image processing of 20 digital periapical images; pixel replication, linear non-interpolation, linear interpolation. and edge-sensitive interpolation. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Pixel replication showed blocking artifact and serious image distortion. 2. Linear interpolation showed smoothing effect on the edge. 3. Edge-sensitive interpolation overcame the smoothing effect on the edge and showed better image.

  • In spite of many advantages of OFDM, a major drawback for implementation is a non-linear distortion in the HPA due to a high PAPR problem. In this paper, the Complementary Clipping Transform technique (CCT) for the PAPR reduction of OFDM system is analyzed for the QPSK and QAM mapping data. BER performance and PSD in front of HPA and after HPA are analytically demonstrated.

  • The increasing application of power electronic equipment in industrial field has led to a growing concern for harmonic distortion and the resulting impacts on system equipment and operations. Harmonic currents are generated by the operation of nonlinear loads and equipment on the power system. These are more increased by unbalance voltage of electrical distribution power systems. This paper describes harmonics characteristics generated by varying of nonlinear load at the PCC under the voltage unbalance.

  • A three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the MIG P/S welding process of two aluminum plates. The finite element calculations are performed using ANSYS finite element code, which takes into account the thermal and mechanical non-linear material properties. The results of finite element analysis compared with those of experiment to show its validity in view of distortions. Parametric studies are carried out on the validated model to assess the effects of various factors on the final residual distortion. Large deformations, temperature dependent material properties are included in the model. Finally, the formulas of fitting curves of angular distortion transverse shrinkage, and longitudinal shrinkage have been proposed.
