Dynamic State Estimation for DFIG with Unknown Inputs Based on Cubature Kalman Filter and Adaptive Interpolation

Dynamic state estimation(DSE)accurately tracks the dynamics of power systems and demonstrates the evolution of the system state in real time.This paper proposes a DSE approach for a doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG)with unknown inputs based on adaptive interpolation and cubature Kalman filter(AICKF-UI).DFIGs adopt different control strategies in normal and fault conditions;thus,the existing DSE approaches based on the conventional control model of DFIG are not applicable in all cases.Consequently,the DSE model of DFIGs is reformulated to consider the converter controller outputs as unknown inputs,which are estimated together with the DFIG dynamic states by an exponential smoothing model and augmented-state cubature Kalman filter.Furthermore,as the reporting rate of existing synchro-phasor data is not sufficiently high to capture the fast dynamics of DFIGs,a large estimation error may occur or the DSE approach may diverge.To this end,in this paper,a local-truncation-error-guided adaptive interpolation approach is developed.Extensive simulations conducted on a wind farm and the modified IEEE 39-bus test system show that the proposed AICKF-UI can(1)effectively address the divergence issues of existing cubature Kalman filters while being computationally more efficient;(2)accurately track the dynamic states and unknown inputs of the DFIG;and(3)deal with various types of system operating conditions such as time-varying wind and different system faults.

Improved Adaptive Interpolation Filter for H.264/AVC

Motion compensation with adaptive interpolation filters （AIF） was developed to compensate for temporary varieties in the aliasing of video signals and improve the coding efficiency. The AIF achieves better RD performance than common static interpolation filtering by exploiting the statistics in the reference frames＇ local auto-correlation and the local cross-correlation between the current encoding frame and the reference frames. This paper presents an interpolation filter buffering structure that derives the current en- coding frame＇s interpolation filters from the filters of previous frames. The number of encoding bits for the filter coefficients is reduced by encoding only the differences between the current filter coefficients and the corresponding buffered filter coefficients. Experimental results show that in comparison with the AIF in the current ＂key technical area＂ （KTA） reference software, this interpolation filter buffering structure further improves all the test sequences （with up to 2.87% bit rate saving） with negligible computational increase.

AN IMPROVED ALGORITHM OF GMM VOICE CONVERSION SYSTEM BASED ON CHANGING THE TIME-SCALE

This paper improves and presents an advanced method of the voice conversion system based on Gaussian Mixture Models(GMM) models by changing the time-scale of speech.The Speech Transformation and Representation using Adaptive Interpolation of weiGHTed spectrum(STRAIGHT) model is adopted to extract the spectrum features,and the GMM models are trained to generate the conversion function.The spectrum features of a source speech will be converted by the conversion function.The time-scale of speech is changed by extracting the converted features and adding to the spectrum.The conversion voice was evaluated by subjective and objective measurements.The results confirm that the transformed speech not only approximates the characteristics of the target speaker,but also more natural and more intelligible.

Study on moving target detection to passive radar based on FM broadcast transmitter

Target detection by a noncooperative illuminator is a topic of general interest in the electronic warfare field. First of all, direct-path interference （DPI） suppression which is the technique of bottleneck of moving target detection by a noncooperative frequency modulation（FM） broadcast transmitter is analyzed in this article; Secondly, a space-time-frequency domain synthetic solution to this problem is introduced： Adaptive nulling array processing is considered in the space domain, DPI cancellation based on adaptive fractional delay interpolation （AFDI） technique is used in planned time domain, and long-time coherent integration is utilized in the frequency domain; Finaily, an experimental system is planned by considering FM broadcast transmitter as a noncooperative illuminator, Simulation results by real collected data show that the proposed method has a better performance of moving target detection.

A novel adaptive image zooming scheme via weighted least-squares estimation

A critical issue in image interpolation is preserving edge detail and texture information in images when zooming. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive image zooming algorithm using weighted least-square estimation that can achieve arbitrary integer-ratio zoom （WLS-AIZ） For a given zooming ratio n, every pixel in a low-resolution （LR） image is associated with an n x n block of high-resolution （HR） pixels in the HR image. In WLS-AIZ, the LR image is interpolated using the bilinear method in advance. Model parameters of every n×n block are worked out through weighted least-square estimation. Subsequently, each pixel in the n × n block is substituted by a combination of its eight neighboring HR pixels using estimated parameters. Finally, a refinement strategy is adopted to obtain the ultimate HR pixel values. The proposed algorithm has significant adaptability to local image structure. Extensive experiments comparing WLS-AIZ with other state of the art image zooming methods demonstrate the superiority of WLS-AIZ. In terms of peak signal to noise ratio （PSNR）, structural similarity index （SSIM） and feature similarity index （FSIM）, WLS-AIZ produces better results than all other image integer-ratio zoom algorithms.
