This study aimed to evaluate Laser-cutting process of Mild Steel St37 sheets with two different thicknesses. In order to evaluate the quality of cutting edge and the depth of the area affected by the heat, several tests were conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as Laser power, Laser beam movement speed and pressure of axillary gas on the quality of cutting edge and the depth of ...

This paper presents a new methodology to estimate harmonic sources in a distribution network, based on measurements of limited number of given buses. The algorithm utilizes independent component analysis (ICA), a method of solving blind source separation theory. In this method, pseudo impedance matrix of distribution network is estimated. The location of harmonic sources will be identified by e...

designing wireless sensor networks should meet appropriate parameters such as quality of service (qos) defined by different users. the variable physical conditions of the environment, processing and transmission power limitations and limited communication capabilities are the most important obstacles that influence qos parameters such as throughput, delay, reliability and network lifetime. the ...

With the development of critical loads, power quality problem has become particularly important and poor power quality will be cause many adverse effects and the cost of many deaths will follow. To improve power quality and protection of sensitive loads against grid disturbances have been used new equipment based on power electronics similar FACTs devices, they are Custom Power. One of the most...

Power quality issues are becoming a serious concern for electrical power users considering the negative influence that these phenomena can have on the electrical equipment and the utility bill. That is why more solutions are required for measuring the power quality parameters. This paper presents a lowcost approach based on an inexpensive RISC microprocessor and frequency analysis for constant ...

In the past few decades, increasing growth of wind power plants causes different problems for the power quality in the grid. Normal and transient impacts of these units on the power grid clearly indicate the need to improve the quality of the electricity generated by them in the design of such systems. Improving the efficiency of the large-scale wind system is dependent on the control parameter...

surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that plays very critical role in determining the quality of engineering components. a good surface quality resulting in improve of fatigue strength, corrosion and wear resistance of the workpiece. on the other hand, increasing cutting speed and decreasing time of machining are desirable for manufacturers in order to reduce costs and incr...

since it is essential to deliver smoothed sinusoidal voltage to the customers, diagnosing power quality (pq) events has played important role in power delivery and conversion. this diagnostic scheme should be accurate to classify pq events from other events in power system. also it should be fast enough to rapidly mitigate pq events. in this paper, an algorithm based on core vector machine (cvm...
