LEGO-Modell av Watt-balansvåg

Nguyen, Tuananh, Szabo, David January 2016 (has links)
Inom en snar framtid planeras en omstrukturering av SI-systemet där desju fundamentala storheterna; kilogram, meter, sekund, mol, candela,ampere och kelvin, inte längre ligger som grund. Istället kommer allaSI-enheter realiseras utifrån noggrant utvalda naturkonstanter somfixerats genom reproducerbara metoder. Kilogrammet är i dagsläget denenda av storheterna som fortfarande representeras av ett fysikalisktobjekt. En av de ledande metoderna för omdefinitionen kilogrammetkallas Watt-balansvåg. Konceptet hos Watt-balansvågen går ut på attjämföra en mekanisk effekt med en elektrisk effekt, där den gemensammafaktorn mellan elektriska och mekaniska storheter är Plancks konstant. PåNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) i USA har detdesignats en demonstrativ LEGO-modell av en Watt-balansvåg. På SPSveriges Tekniska Forskningsinstitut ansågs en rekonstruktion av dennaLEGO-modell vara ett intressant sätt att påbörja kompetensuppbyggnadinom omdefinition av kilogrammet. Med hjälp av LEGO-modellen är SPssyfte också att enklare kunna förklara och demonstrera funktionen hos enWatt-balansvåg för myndigheter, näringsliv och framtida innovationspartners. Syftet med projektet som beskrivs i denna rapport var attfelsöka och förbättra en påbörjad rekonstruktion av LEGO-modellen, föratt reducera ett systematiskt mätfel på 15-20% över faktisk massa. Utifrånen vetenskaplig metod utformades hypoteser över tänkbara felorsaker somtestades genom systematiska mätningar. Baserat på resultaten somerhållits har LEGO-modellens systematiska mätfel reducerats från ca15-20% över till ca 0-4% under faktisk massa. Det fortsatta systematiskamätfelet anses bero på en bestående osäkerhet i uppmätningen av ettmagnetfälts styrka i relation till en spoles karaktäristik. Värdet ges frånden inducerade spänningen över en spole med en hastighet som beräknasfrån spänningsutslaget i en fotodiod, där ett fel i bådaspänningsmätningarna tros vara orsaken. En mer omfattande analys övervad samplingstid och upplösning hos enheten för spänningsmätningar harför påverkan på denna mätning skulle kunna förbättra LEGO-modellenytterligare. / Within the near future there is a plan to reconstruct the InternationalSystem of Units (SI) where the seven base units; kilogram, meter, second,mol, candela, ampere and kelvin, will no longer serve as the foundation ofthe system. Instead all SI-units will be realized by using a number ofcarefully chosen fundamental constants of nature, which have been givenfixed values threw reproducible methods. The kilogram is presently theonly base unit still represented by a physical object. One of the leadingmethods in the pursuit of redefining the kilogram is called a Watt Balance.The concept of a Watt Balance is based on the comparison of mechanicalpower and electrical power, with the common factor between mechanicaland electrical units being Plancks constant. The National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) in the USA have designed a WattBalance LEGO-model used for demonstrations. At SP Sveriges TekniskaForskningsinstitut a reconstruction of the LEGO-model was considered tobe an interesting way of starting to build a level of competence around theredifinition of the kilogram. By using the LEGO-model, SPs purpose alsoinvolves the ability to explain and demonstrate the concept of a WattBalance to authorities, companies and future innovation partners. Thepurpose of the project described in this thesis was to improve an ongoingreconstruction of the LEGO-model at SP by reducing a systematicmeasurement error at 15-20% over actual mass. Using a scientific method,theories to the causes of error were formed and tested threw systematicmeasurements. Based on the result, the systematic error have beenreduced from 15-20% over to approximately 0-4% under the actual mass.The reason for the remaining systematic error is considered being relatedto an uncertainty in the measurement of a relation between a magneticflux and an electric coil. The result from the measurement is based on theinduced voltage in a coil with a velocity calculated from the voltageoutput produced by a shadow sensor. The error is presumed to be relatedto both voltage measurements. A more comprehensive analysis regardingthe sample time and resolution of the device used in the voltagemeasurements, could improve the LEGO-model further.

The Influence of Indigenous Bushmen Musical Elements and Significant Compositional Traits on Niel Van Der Watt’s Song Cycle, Die Wind Dreun Soos ‘N Ghoera, ‘N Siklus Boesman-mites

Bester, Christiaan 08 1900 (has links)
In Ghoera, Afrika-verse vir kinders, poet Hennie Aucamp demonstrates an affiliation with and reflection of his surroundings, such as the tribal communities he experienced as a child. This group of African children’s poems, published by Protea Boekhuis in 2011, became the source of inspiration for composer Niel van der Watt’s song cycle Die wind dreun soos ‘n ghoera, ‘n Siklus Boesman-mites. This study investigates and identifies significant compositional traits that contributed to van der Watt’s song cycle. To explore and understand the nature of such influences, the second chapter considers the composer’s early childhood; religious world views; student life; social, environmental, and political ideas; personal tonal language; and western musical elements. To ascertain possible indigenous Bushmen musical elements in van der Watt’s song cycle, the third chapter traces the history of the Bushmen and their marginalization, followed by a brief survey of historical writings on Bushmen music, and an identification process utilizing musicologist Percival R. Kirby’s research on Bushmen music as a foundation. The fourth chapter explores the origins of the cycle and other significant compositional influences. This study suggests that Hennie Aucamp’s poetry and Niel van der Watt’s song cycle represent a reconciling vehicle for cross-cultural understanding generating awareness and greater appreciation of the life, myths, oral traditions, and the music of the Bushmen.

Silva, Luiz Carlos Evangelista da. January 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Carlos Alberto Canesin / Coorientador: José Carlos Rossi / Banca: Flávio Alessandro Serrão Gonçalves / Banca: João Onofre Pereira Pinto / Resumo: Considerando-se as constantes mudanças que vêm ocorrendo no cenário de distribuição de energia elétrica, devido ao grande avanço da eletrônica de potência e cargas não lineares instaladas no sistema elétrico, fazem-se necessários estudos para diagnosticar como e quanto essas alterações interferem nos equipamentos instalados nas redes de distribuição. A proposta desta dissertação é a análise da influência das distorções harmônicas (tensões e correntes) e desequilíbrios (tensões) nos erros de medição de energia elétrica ativa em medidores eletrônicos trifásicos. Estes equipamentos são normalmente projetados para atuarem com condições ideais de freqüência constante, formas de onda de tensão e corrente senoidais e em sistemas equilibrados. Condições estas, que não refletem a realidade das redes de distribuição de energia elétrica. Para a realização da análise dos equipamentos selecionados, submetidos aos efeitos das componentes harmônicas nas tensões e correntes, inclusive desequilíbrios de tensões, montou-se um arranjo padrão de medição, onde foram ensaiados os medidores submetidos a estes distúrbios, sob as mesmas condições laboratoriais, considerando-se três repetições para cada amostra selecionada. As distorções harmônicas de tensões e correntes, aplicadas nos ensaios, foram obtidas por medições em consumidores em ramais de distribuição com características industrial, comercial, rural e residencial, e, os desequilíbrios de tensões admitidos para ensaios foram de 3% (limite atual) e de 5%, considerando-se determinados cenários de um sistema de distribuição real de uma concessionária de energia elétrica. Os resultados são apresentados em forma de tabelas e figuras, e, as análises dos erros são apresentadas considerando-se um padrão de medição composto por analisador de energia com classe de exatidão...

The proposal of this research is to analyze the influence the harmonic contents (voltage and current) and unbalances (voltage) in the systems on the measurement errors of the active electric energy using three-phase electronic meters. These equipments are usually designed to operate on ideal conditions with constant frequency, sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms, and balanced system. However, these conditions are not the reality of the electric energy distribution systems. The procedures for the measurements, considering the selected samples of the electronics meters under influence of current and voltage harmonic contents, and voltage unbalances, were based on a measurement set-up established for testing, in the same conditions, all the selected samples considering its three repetitions. The harmonic voltage and current contents, applied in the tests, were obtained by measurements in consumers with different load characteristics (industrial, commercial, rural and residential), and the admitted voltage unbalances were of 3% (actual limit imposed by standards) and 5%, considering real cases of an electric energy distribution system of an utilities. The results are summarized in tables and figures, and the analyses of the errors are presented considering comparisons with a standard of measurement composed by an energy analyzer, with accuracy of 0.1% for voltages and currents, and, 0.2% for active power, considering the range of 60Hz until 1kHz. In addition, models were developed... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Entretanto, um dos problemas a resolver na utilização de veículos puramente elétricos é o abastecimento (recarga das baterias) nas ruas. Neste trabalho é apresentado o projeto, desenvolvimento e implementação de um protótipo de um ponto de fornecimento de energia elétrica pré-paga usando cartões indutivos. O protótipo desenvolvido operou dentro das especificações e normas aplicáveis ao setor de medida de energia elétrica. Outras aplicações para este equipamento estão sendo estudadas, como por exemplo na venda de energia elétrica para residências de baixa renda. / Abstract: The increasing in pollution caused by combustion engines in large cities has motivated the search for new technologies to replace these engines, and the electrical vehicle is a promissing alternative in the near future. However, one of the problems that remains to be solved is charging these vehicles in the streets. This works presents the design, development and implementation of a pre-paid point of sale of electrical energy equipment which uses inductive cards. The developed prototype meets the specifications and rules of the Brazilian electrical sector for the energy meters. Other applications for this pre-paid energy meter are being considered, as, for example, in selling pre-paid energy to low. / Mestrado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica

Capteurs Interférométrique et Ellipsométrique : Application à la Nanométrologie et à la Balance du Watt Française

Ouédraogo, Karim 27 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
La première partie de ce manuscrit (chapitres 1 à 3) regroupe l'ensemble de mes travaux relatifs à la métrologie dimensionnelle à l'échelle du nanomètre. Après avoir donné une vue générale de l'instrumentation interférométrique utilisée dans ce domaine et montré leurs limites, je présente la réalisation d'un interféromètre elllipsométrique et d'un lambdamètre optique. Les résultats expérimentaux ont montré la possibilité d'atteindre une résolution de 10 pm sur une étendue de mesures macroscopique pour l'interféromètre et une exactitude de 10⁻⁶ en valeur relative sur la longueur d'onde avec notre lambdamètre pour un déplacement du miroir mobile de seulement 4 μm au lieu de 150 mm pour le schéma conventionnel. La seconde partie du manuscrit (chapitres 4 à 6) regroupe l'ensemble de mes travaux relatifs à la métrologie des masses. Après une description du projet national de la Balance du Watt dont l'objectif vise une redéfinition du Kilogramme, je reporte les travaux portant sur la réalisation d'un capteur polarimétrique sensible à la direction radiale du champ magnétique de l'aimant permanent composant la balance du watt du LNME et d'un inclinomètre interférométrique pour la matérialisation de l'axe gravitationnel terrestre.
