Software Sound Synthesiser as a Source of Power Quality Waveforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The testing of power quality in the laboratory requires waveform sources to emulate the various disturbances present in electrical networks. Often arbitrary waveform generators are used to recreate these disturbances. The main limitation of this technique is the periodicity of their output signals. To circumvent this limitation, this paper proposes the usage of the Csound sound synthesiser software package as a source of power quality waveforms. This permits the creation of real time waveforms that are accurate and of long duration. It is also shown that this approach improves the testing of the conformance of power quality analysers to existing standards.

An intelligent method based on wavelet neural network (WNN) is presented in this study to estimate voltage harmonic distortion waveforms at a non-monitored sensitive load. Voltage harmonics are considered as the main type of waveform distortion in the power quality approach. To detect and analyze voltage harmonics, it is not economical to install power quality monitors (PQMs) at all buses. The ...

متن کاملAn HMM-based speech synthesiser using glottal post-filtering
Control over voice quality, e.g. breathy and tense voice, is important for speech synthesis applications. For example, transformations can be used to modify aspects of the voice related to speaker’s identity and to improve expressiveness. However, it is hard to modify voice characteristics of the synthetic speech, without degrading speech quality. State-of-the-art statistical speech synthesiser...
متن کاملA Real-Time Parametric General-Purpose Mammalian Vocal Synthesiser
Although R&D into ‘speech synthesis’ has received a considerable amount of attention over many years, there has been remarkably little effort devoted to constructing vocal synthesisers for non-human animals. Of course, interest in synthesising human speech has been driven by the demand for practical applications such as reading machines for the blind or voiceoperated assistants. Nevertheless, t...
