Un tÃtol una mica estrany per a una lliçó inaugural, però que té una explicació
simple: d’entrada tres paraules, que ens marcaran els tres apartats
en què he dividit aquesta lliçó. I després tres idiomes, que em serviran per
centrar cada un dels tres apartats i enllaçar-los entre ells, per fer de les
parts un tot únic i coherent
Estimación de funciones no lineales en mezclas post-no lineales
This paper proposes a new method for blindly inverting a nonlinear mapping which transforms a sum of random variables. This is the case of post-nonlinear (PNL) source separation mixtures. The importance of the method is based on the fact that it permits to decouple the estimation of the nonlinear part from the estimation of the linear one. Only the nonlinear part is inverted, without considering on the linear part. Hence the initial problem is transformed into a linear one that can then be solved with any convenient linear algorithm. The method is compared with other existing algorithms for blindly approximating nonlinear mappings. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the results obtained with other algorithms and give a reasonably good linearized dat
On cumulant techniques in speech processing
This paper analyzes applications of cumulant analysis in
speech processing. A special focus is made on different second-order
statistics. A dominant role is played by an integral representation for
cumulants by means of integrals involving cyclic products of kernels
Post-Nonlinear Mixtures and Beyond
Although sources in general nonlinear mixturm arc not separable iising only statistical
independence, a special and realistic case of nonlinear mixtnres, the post nonlinear
(PNL) mixture is separable choosing a suited separating system. Then, a natural approach is
based on the estimation of tho separating Bystem parameters by minimizing an indcpendence
criterion, like estimated mwce mutual information. This class of methods requires higher
(than 2) order statistics, and cannot separate Gaarsian sources. However, use of [weak) prior,
like source temporal correlation or nonstationarity, leads to other source separation Jgw
rithms, which are able to separate Gaussian sourra, and can even, for a few of them, works
with second-order statistics. Recently, modeling time correlated s011rces by Markov models,
we propose vcry efficient algorithms hmed on minimization of the conditional mutual information.
Currently, using the prior of temporally correlated sources, we investigate the fesihility
of inverting PNL mixtures with non-bijectiw non-liacarities, like quadratic functions. In this
paper, we review the main ICA and BSS results for riunlinear mixtures, present PNL models
and algorithms, and finish with advanced resutts using temporally correlated snu~s
Reduced scale feasibility of temperature rise tests in substation connectors
Due to the important increase of the power of electrical transmission and distribution grids expected for the following years, especially in developing countries such as Kenya, Brazil, Philippines or Mexico among others, that have planes of generating energy from clean sources far away from the centres of consumption [1] it becomes a matter of special importance adapting and developing new substation connectors’ testing methods according to the power and temperature regimes at which they are expected to work. The international normative frame of substation connectors established both by the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC) [2] and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) [3] sets standardized tests for the evaluation of high voltage connectors. These tests are routinely done within the quality plans of the manufacturers.
At the moment, testing of substation connectors –and in general switchgear and fittings- is time demanding and costly due to the energy consumed by such tests. The expectations for the following years are that the power consumption of these tests will not do nothing but grow due to expected increase of power of worldwide overhead lines. For instance, today temperature rise tests in substation connectors involve power ranges up to 100 kVA, which are applied in cycles that can last several weeks. These tests are only feasible in few laboratories and at a very high cost: temporary, monetary, energetic and environmental. For this reason, following the line of other technologies such as aeronautics, naval engineering, or automotive as well as other studies done in the field of electrical engineering specially related to the corona effect [4], this study proposes to develop a reduced scale test system to perform temperature rise tests for substation connectors.
Both, a theoretical framework based on analytical formulas, finite element method (FEM) simulations and experimental data has been developed to conduct reduced scale temperature rise tests and to set the conditions at which they provide comparable results to those attained in the original scale tests. Firstly, two circular loops (original and reduced scale loops) composed of a power conductor and two terminal connectors were analysed. The aim of this first study was to determine in an easy and trustful way the voltage and current values to be applied in experimental reduced scale tests to achieve the same steady-state temperature as in the original scale temperature rise test. The scale relationship between tests was set in 1:1.8, although the method proposed in this study can deal with any other scale factor. This study was useful in order to have a first sight of the final results of the procedure using substation connectors.Postprint (published version
