The use of batteries and other electrochemical devices in modern power systems is rapidly increasing, with stricter requirements terms cost, efficiency reliability. Innovative monitoring solutions are therefore urged to allow a successful development wide range emerging applications, including electric vehicles large-scale energy storage support renewable generation. Presently, huge gap still exists between the accurate sophisticated techniques commonly employed laboratory tests, on one...
Nonsynchronous sampling conditions are the source of leakage errors in measurements based on digital signal processing. The optimal method to avoid such is generate a synchronous clock, whenever input shows enough period stability allow this. Such method, however, does not yield straightforward evaluation frequency, which required several applications. This paper proposes modified clock generator that together with frequency interpolation algorithm provides an accurate measurement when only...
The amount of data available on the industrial plants has seen an exponential growth in last few years. One greatest player this trend been technological progress that made also cheap devices smart. Thus, low voltage (LV) circuit breaker (CB) becomes acquisition system able to communicate cloud. Because several sources uncertainties and unknowns, deterministic approaches do not always provide correct results while heuristic approaches, such as Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS), better results....
Voltage quality is a major issue for several appliances in today's electric power systems. Distorted voltage waveforms caused by electronics devices can dramatically reduce the useful life of dielectrics, e.g., filter capacitor banks or factor correction banks. This paper aims at investigating how different control schemes affect dielectric ageing and, doing so, it providing feasible and sustainable stress monitoring framework. The two considered adopted are classical SPWM with sequential command.
The digitalization of the electric grid means that more and components system are becoming smart, i.e., able to process communicate data. Circuit breakers have not been left apart from this great transformation. Indeed, they no dedicated only protection but also monitoring through added measurement capabilities. are, up now, easiest solution for both low-power low-cost wide area systems, with limited-to-no disruption existing systems. This work describes first steps done in obtaining...
Several applications, such as phasor measurements in Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU), require to retrieve only one spectral component of the whole signal. In situations, classical DFT and FFT algorithms may become computationally inefficient several alternative methods have been proposed measure a single an efficient way. This paper proposes modified Taylor-Fourier Transform (TFT) that features higher computational efficiency than algorithm when harmonic is needed comparable up 8 different...
Up to few years ago, one of the main problems in optimal design a battery energy storage system (BESS) was availability both generation (e.g. renewable sources) and load power profiles considered plant. This paradigm has limited potential BESSs drive down overall costs reduce carbon emissions. Nowadays, exponential growth data available on industrial plants opened way new possibilities opportunities. In addition, are viable opportunity start transforming existing with an incremental...
The digitalization of the electric grid is a major trend in today's energy industry and, especially With smart implementations, it driving innovation process whole sector. In particular, advanced analytics applications, e.g., prognostics, decision systems, and efficiency management, are gaining more importance for involved players. This paper proposes framework operation support circuit breakers during their entire operational life, i.e., components replacement maintenance strategies. done...
