In an attempt to improve process safety, today’s plants deploy sophisticated automation and control strategies. Despite these, accidents continue to occur. Statistics indicate that human error is the predominant contributor ...

Tonic identification is traditionally approached using pitch histogram. Acoustic characteristics of musical instruments have not been used for the purpose. The conventional tonic identifiers are either knowledge-based or ...

For synchronization applications, synchronous reference frame (SRF) phase-locked loop (PLL) is widely deployed. Its performance is excellent when the input voltage consists of only fundamental positive sequence (FPS) ...

We propose an energy minimization approach to detect multiple reflection symmetry axes present in a given image representing fronto-parallel view of a scene. We perform local feature matching to detect the pairs of mirror ...

This paper reports the extraction of concentration and pressure of methane using a 1650nm laser diode operated at its phase quadrature frequency (fq) and using the calibration-free residual amplitude modulation (RAM) method. ...

Acoustic impulse response functions are generally sparse in nature and traditionally these are modeled by adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filters trained using a least mean square (LMS) algorithm. The conventional ...

The invent of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) opens the door for a comprehensive analysis of consumers con-sumption patterns, which were not possible beforehand. The AMI can be used to address the major problem of ...

A very short-term solar PV power generation forecast can be extremely helpful for real-time balancing operation in an electricity market which in turn will profit both energy suppliers as well as customers. However, the ...

Grid interfacing power converters are indispensable for renewable energy conversion schemes. Fast and precise detection of grid signal parameters is essential for effective operation and control of these converters. For ...
