Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Non-linear Vibration Response of an IPMC Actuator Subjected to Alternating Electric Potentialf
Abstract: The precise predication of stable and unstable zone for an applied excitation voltage and frequency is of importance in many micromechanical systems utilizing ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) as the actuator. A linear dynamic model thus will no longer be valid for IPMC actuator having low thickness and thus more flexible. In this article, non-linear vibration characteristics of a silver (Ag) based IPMC actuator is studied under alternating electric potential …

Fault Diagnostic Method of Transformers based on Hybrid ANN and Expert System
Abstract: Transformers are major equipments power system which affects not only the electrical energy availability of the area supplied, but also the economical operation of utilities. The most important concern about incipient faults in power transformer is that they may reduce the electrical and mechanical stress of the insulation. This proposed hybrid system utilizes dissolved gas in oil analysis techniques to diagnose for fault condition of power transformers. The Roger’s Four …

Reliability Evaluation of Power Distribution Network Considering Uncertainty in Failure
Abstract: With the development of economy and society power planning is facing with the influence of much uncertainty, which are mainly power distribution network. Power system especially at the distribution level is prone to failures and disturbances as many devices are responsible for the successful operation of a radial distribution system. Every time an engineer takes a measurement, the only certainty is that the measurement is not exact; all measurements have …
