Abstract:

Frequency response diagrams of a system include detailed and recognizable information about the structural and parameter effects of the transfer function model of the system. The information are qualitatively and quantitatively obtainable from simultaneous consideration of amplitude ratio and phase information. In this paper, some rules and relationships are presented for making use of frequency response information in order to identify the structure of rational and irrational models in a heuristic manner. Estimation of the values of the parameters are also accomplished in a graphical trial and error procedure. As an example, the heuristic method was applied for identifying the simplified model of a rotary cement kiln from the frequency response information of the analytically derived model of the system. The analytical model of the kiln, used in this paper, was obtained elsewere in a detailed procedure with some assumptions and by using initial and boundary conditions. Results obtained from identification of the simplified model for rotary cement kiln not only reveal the application of the heuristic method for model identification, but also demonstrate the appearance of unstable poles and zeros in the model of the system.

Simplification of Parameters in a Complex Catchment Model: a Daily Rainfal Data Generation Process

This paper describes the rainfall data generation processes, which were used to simplify the recharge model developed by Khazai and Spink. The principles of techniques used for single and two sites generation are discussed. The application of the techniques for extending the rainfall records at the existing stations and increasing arbitrarily the numbers of rain gauges within the catchment are ...

Estimation of Moisture in Transformer Insulation Using Dielectric Frequency Response Analysis by Heuristic Algorithms

Transformers are one of the most valuable assets of power systems. Maintenance and condition assessment of transformers has become one of the concerns of researchers due to huge number of transformers has been approached to the end of their lifetimes. Transformer’s lifetime depends on the life of its insulation and the insulation’s life is strongly influenced by its moisture attraction as well....

Studies in process simplification

One of the major problems with software development processes is their complexity. Hence, one of the primary motivations in process improvement is the simplification of these complex processes. We report a set of studies to explore various simplification approaches and techniques. We used the available process documentation, questionnaires and interviews, and a set of process visualization tool...

Frequency Domain Model (In)Validation

ABSTRACT Classical validation methods accept or reject a model as a valid representation of a plant. However this quantization has several problems: i) Models are neither good nor bad but have a certain valid frequency range. ii) This gives no guess on the failure reasons or the way the model could be improved. iii) In iterative identification and control approaches undermodeling is usually pre...
