Inception and Propagation of Electrical Trees in the Presence of Space Charge in HVAC Extruded Cables
PublicationThis paper presents the space charge impact on the inception and propagation of electrical trees in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation via simulations and experimentation. A 3D finite element analysis (FEA)-based modeling is proposed to simulate electrical trees via a needle embedded on the XLPE insulation. The proposed FEA model demonstrates the influence of the space charge magnitude and polarity on the initiation of...

Fuzzy logic-supported building design for low-energy consumption in urban environments
PublicationClimate, building materials, occupancy patterns, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems all interact in complex ways, making it difficult to design low-energy buildings. Thus, innovative architectural and engineering design strategies are required to meet the worldwide need to decrease building energy usage. To improve the calculation of energy consumption of buildings, this work introduces the FCR-BCS (fuzzy...

Application of TMS320c67xx signal processors for SONIC-self-optimizing narrowband interference canceler
PublicationThe paper presents a laboratory system for testing active control algorithms of acoustics noise in ducts. An applied algorithm - self-optimizing narrowband interference canceller (SONIC), allows one to remove narrowband disturbances of constant or slowly time-varying frequencies. Example experimental results of using the laboratory system for supression of sinusoidal disturbance are described. An electronic part of the system was...

Evolution of the HVDC Link Connecting Offshore Wind Farms to Onshore Power Systems
PublicationThis paper presents an overview of the DC link development and evolution dedicated to HVDC structure for connecting offshore wind power plants to onshore power systems. The growing demand for the green energy has forced investors in power industry to look for resources further out at sea. Hence, the development of power electronics and industrial engineering has enabled offshore wind farms to be situated further from the shore...

Sposoby zagospodarowania ciepła odpadowego z silników napędowych jednostek pływających Cześć 1. Wykorzystanie ciepła do napędu urządzeń chłodniczych
PublicationEnergia chemiczna paliwa jest w wielu przypadkach zaledwie w połowie wykorzystana jako energia napędowa silnika. Pozostała część jako ciepło odpadowe przekazywana jest do otoczenia. Dzięki odpowiednim układom przetwarzania ciepło ze spalin można wykorzystać do wytwarzania chłodu lub jako ciepło użytkowe, w systemach HVAC (ang. heating, ventilation, air conditioning – ogrzewanie, wentylacja, klimatyzacja). Tym samym koszty pracy...

Energooszczędne urządzenia w instalacjach chłodniczych i klimatyzacyjnych
PublicationZmiany przepisów i obostrzenia wymagań w odniesieniu do ochrony środowiska wymagają radykalnych działań zarówno w stosunku do stosowanych czynników chłodniczych, jak i konstrukcji stosowanych urządzeń. Wiele z tych przepisów będzie prawdopodobnie podwyższać koszt budowy i zakupu nowych układów. Aby ograniczyć szkodliwe oddziaływanie na środowisko naturalne wprowadzane są nowe, alternatywne czynniki robocze. Jednak zmieniane są...

Will NILM Technology Replace Multi-Meter Telemetry Systems for Monitoring Electricity Consumption?
PublicationThe estimation of electric power utilization, its baseload, and its heating, light, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) power component, which represents a very large portion of electricity usage in commercial facilities, are important for energy consumption controls and planning. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is the analytical method used to monitor the energy and disaggregate total electrical usage into appliance-related...

Heat transfer enhancement of modular thermal energy storage unit for reversible heat pump cooperation
PublicationThe following article presents experimental comparison research on a hexagonal shelland-tube latent thermal energy storage (TES). Such shape of a shell was deliberately chosen instead of a cylindrical one due to its high modularity and with intent for future applications in automobiles (EV and PHEV) air conditioning systems (HVAC). Two geometries of helical coils, acting as tubes, were studied in this article. One was a simple...

The reduction of auxiliaries power demand: The challenge for electromobility in public transportation
PublicationAn important role in the consumption of electric energy in urban transport are non-traction needs (auxiliaries), the main part of which is heating and air condition (HVAC). Auxiliaries are responsible for almost half of total energy consumption (normal weather conditions) and in the winter (or hot summer) it reaches up to 70% in daily scale. The reduction of energy used for non-traction needs is currently the main challenge related...

Application of Feed Forward Neural Networks for Modeling of Heat Transfer Coefficient During Flow Condensation for Low and High Values of Saturation Temperatur
PublicationMost of the literature models for condensation heat transfer prediction are based on specific experimental parameters and are not general in nature for applications to fluids and non-experimental thermodynamic conditions. Nearly all correlations are created to predict data in normal HVAC conditions below 40°C. High temperature heat pumps operate at much higher parameters. This paper aims to create a general model for the calculation...
