Energy Audit of Electrical Installations is an integral part of the overall energy audit of complex technical systems, and infrared thermography is one of the non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for that type of analysis of power distribution subsystems. During the energy audit of the power subsystem by means of a thermal camera, it is necessary to carry out some additional measurements of electrical quantities which are often not performed easily. The paper provides an overview of the standards in the field of thermography and safety criteria of electrical installations based on a thermal image and measured electrical parameters. As a practical example, an analysis of an electric power distribution subsystem of large complex industrial consumers is presented. The procedure of the audit and decision making for future maintenance is described in detail. Recommendations of corrective actions in the maintenance procedure based on the absolute temperature criterion and the delta-T criterion under consideration of the measured load are given as well.

Power Transformer Condition-Based Evaluation and Maintenance (CBM) Using Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST)

Damir Blazevic, Tomislav Keser, Hrvoje Glavas, Robert Noskov

Summary: Transformers are crucial components in the power system and require constant monitoring and maintenance due to their size and complexity. Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is useful for substations as part of the system's on-demand response. This paper proposes a multi-level condition assessment framework based on evidential reasoning and presents a model for condition-based maintenance of power transformers. The scientific contribution lies in the analysis that provides insight into the system's condition and determines its maintenance priority based on a single numerical value.

Vitreosity as a Major Grain Quality Indicator-Upgrading the Grain-Cutter Method with a New Blade

Kresimir Mastanjevic, Kristina Habschied, Kresimir Dvojkovic, Mirko Karakasic, Hrvoje Glavas

Summary: The implemented novel solution provides a clearer cut for determining the vitreousness of grains, resulting in cleaner and easier to read pictures. It also reduces the force required for cutting the grains. This research introduces a better and more reliable method for determining grain vitreosity, exceeding current literature by reducing analysis force and accelerating the analysis process.

The Dangers of Analyzing Thermographic Radiometric Data as Images

Caslav Livada, Hrvoje Glavas, Alfonzo Baumgartner, Dina Jukic

Summary: Thermography is a widely used method for measuring surface temperature by analyzing infrared radiation, but the accuracy depends on factors like emissivity and reflected radiation. Thermographic images are not temperature maps; they are converted thermal radiation, and improper calibration can result in incorrect temperatures. This study analyzes image processing techniques and their impact on radiometric data in thermography, including the effects of contrast, brightness, and JPEG compression. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate and precise thermographic analysis for reliable temperature measurement.
