Improved grating based temperature measurements using deconvolution of optical spectra

2000-11-06
Ergul, FR
Ertekin, T
The basic concepts of temperature measurement in power transformers and underground power cables using fiber optic gratings are introduced. The economic benefits of continuous temperature measurements are discussed. The problems encountered in high density applications, i.e. using many sensors in the same power transformer, is identified as the resolution limitation due to comparatively large bandwidth of optical filters used. The deconvolution technique has been proposed as a possible solution to improve accuracy and resolution. The fundamental ideas are illustrated by giving results of a laboratory prototype using twelve measurement points. The prototype has a capacity to employ up to 30 gratings for each phase of a power transformer, connected to the same measuring unit using an optical multiplexer.

Power electronics are vital for the generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy. Improving the efficiency, power density, and reliability of power electronics is an important challenge that can be addressed with electrothermal codesign and optimization. Current thermal management approaches utilize metallic heat sinks (HSs), resulting in parasitic load generation due to different potentials between electronic components on the printed circuit board (PCB). To enable electrical...
Highly Integrated 3 V Supply Electronics for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters With Minimum 0.4 V-peak Input
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2017-07-01)
This paper presents a self-powered interface enabling battery-like operation with a regulated 3 V output from ac signals as low as 0.4 V-peak, generated by electromagnetic energy harvesters under low frequency vibrations. As the first stage of the 180 nm standard CMOS circuit, harvested signal is rectified through an ac/dc doubler with active diodes powered internally by a passive ac/dc quadrupler. The voltage is boosted in the second stage through a low voltage charge pump stimulated by an on-chip ring osc...
MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING FOR LOW-POWER PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANELS
BODUR, M; ERMIS, M (1994-04-14)
A maximum power point tracker unit is developed for the optimum coupling of photovoltaic panels (PVP) to the batteries and load through a controlled DC-DC power converter (chopper). The system consists of three main units: (i) the photovoltaic panels that convert solar power to electricity; (ii) a chopper which couples the power of PVP to the load or batteries at a constant voltage; and (iii) maximum power point (MPP) computing unit that determines the set point of the chopper to keep the panel voltage at a...
Design and realization of high power low loss combiners
Suna, Gonca; Yıldırım, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In recent high power microwave systems, power generation is commonly achieved by combining a bunch of transistor amplifier. Regarding the efficiency of power combining operation, insertion loss of the combiner is a critical parameter. In this thesis, several low loss power combiners, namely, microstrip Wilkinson combiner in 6-18 GHz frequency range, suspended stripline branchline couplers in 16.5-17.5 GHz frequency range and finally, planar probe coaxial waveguide combiners in 8.5- 11.5 GHz and 15.5-17.5 GH...
A Kalman Filter Based Approach for Light Flicker Evaluation of Power Systems
Kose, Neslihan; Salor, Ozgul; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2009-01-01)
In this paper, a Kalman filtering based approach is proposed to measure the light flicker of the electricity transmission systems. Analytical expressions of the instantaneous light flicker sensation are obtained beginning from a voltage waveform and these expressions are used to obtain a flicker estimation method based on the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) flickermeter. In the proposed method, the frequency domain components of the waveform are obtained by Kalman filtering and these compone...
