Abstract

Speed control is a key requirement in direct current (DC) motor applications where accuracy, reliability, flexibility, and safety are of high importance. In this study, a microcontroller and resistive touchscreen-based DC motor speed monitoring and control system were developed. The core components employed in the development of the system include Arduino ATMega328P microcontroller, thin film technology (TFT) resistive touch screen, L293D motor driver, and infrared (IR) sensor module. ATMega328P microcontroller is the brain of the system around which the overall circuit design was modeled. TFT resistive touch screen displays the motor speed and also, enables the users to set a desired speed. L293D motor driver regulates the voltage and current supplied to the motor, and a feedback loop comprising an IR sensor module ensures the maintenance of the motor speed at the desired level. A performance test was conducted on the developed system to ascertain its correct functionality. The developed speed monitoring and control system operated satisfactorily during testing; achieving a speed control in the range of 800 to 3000 rpm. The developed device is useful and can be scaled up for various domestic and industrial applications.

Abstract

One of the major challenges hindering the effective operation of the electricity distribution system is the malfunctioning of the protection scheme. Therefore, in this study, the performance of an interrupter (oil circuit breaker (OCB)) on the Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) network was assessed. Five-year outage data (2014 to 2018) regarding tripping of the interrupter on fault and health conditions were collected from the EKEDC Agbara/Badagry Business Unit. The tripping frequency was compared. Inspection of selected OCBs within the considered network was conducted over the study period. A breakdown voltage (BDV) test was carried out on six oil samples each for 11 and 33 kV OCB using Megger OTS60PB. The highest tripping frequency of 75 and 10 were observed in 2014 and 2018 respectively when the interrupter tripped on fault and healthy conditions. The lowest tripping frequency was, however, observed in 2018 with values of 46 and 7 respectively when the interrupter tripped on fault and healthy conditions. The inspection conducted revealed carbonized OCB contacts. The BDV test showed that two oil samples each violated the standard value of 40 kV for 11 and 33 kV OCBs respectively. This study indicated that the defective oil samples required filtration or complete replacement.
