Off-Grid Fundamental Frequency Estimation
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2018In this paper, we propose a gridless method for estimating an unknown number of fundamental frequencies. Starting with a conventional dictionary matrix, containing sets of candidate fundamental frequencies and their corresponding harmonics, a nonconvex log-sum cost function is formed such that it imposes the harmonic structure and treats every ...

Feasibility of off-grid residential power
CONIELECOMP 2011, 21st International Conference on Electrical Communications and Computers, 2011Major emphasis is placed in today's technological society of being “green.” Being energy efficient and using renewable resources are strongly encouraged in many different aspects of life. One way environmentalists tout of being able to save the planet is through the use of solar panels or wind turbines to power one's home.

Drawing from sensory ethnography, the present multimodal writing—accompanied by photography and digital video—documents and interprets the mobilities of off-grid living on Lasqueti Island, British Columbia, Canada. The data presentation focuses in particular on the embodied experience of off-grid inhabitation, highlighting the sensory and kinetic ...

The chosen area of study is the brick chimney which provided heat, hot water and cooking facilities in the timber houses of Auckland 100 years ago. Demolition of these chimneys is common as adaptive reuse of the older houses of Auckland occurs. The number of chimneys present in four representative streets will be counted, using aerial photography from ...

2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, 2010
This paper deals with problems of off-grid power systems, in particular off-grid power systems with wind power plants and photovoltaic systems. The paper describes a hybrid off-grid power system built at the VSB-TUO campus. This system comprises a wind power plant, a photovoltaic system, a battery bank, a control unit and a streetlight as a connected ...

One critical aspect of the global transition to a low-carbon energy system is the provision of an adequate level of energy services to a large and growing proportion of humanity. The energy poor, living primarily off any electrical grid, offer a unique opportunity and new markets for a modular concept for energy access.

Technical design of Off-grid energy kiosks
2016 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC), 2016Rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa are frequently afflicted by energy poverty; as it is typically cost-prohibitive to extend the electricity grid to these locations, off-grid energy kiosks provide a locally sourced alternative for the community.

The architecture of an off-grid system refers to how the various energy sources, energy storage, controllers, converters, and load are connected together. This chapter defines and describes off-grid system architectures. Examples of mini-grid architectures using conventional generators, solar power, wind power, hydropower, and hybrid combinations ...
