In this paper, a simplified zonal model for the evaluation of the spatial distribution of the air temperature in a thermal zone is presented. This model, in which the air flow is caused only by buoyancy forces, is implemented in ALMABuild. The model is used for the analysis of the effect of the temperature sensor positioning on the control system behaviour and on the indoor comfort conditions. This analysis is performed considering a multi-zone building composed by three offices, focusing the evaluation to the central one. The office is heated by means of a radiator in which the hot water flow rate is varied by a valve controlled via a room temperature sensor. By means of numerical simulations, indoor comfort conditions, energy consumptions and control system response are evaluated for three different sensor positions (far from the radiator, in the middle of the office, close to the radiator), two radiator sizes (one obtained by imposing a high supply water temperature, 80 °C, the other a low supply temperature, 60 °C) and two control strategies (weather compensation and fast restart). The results presented in this study and demonstrate how complete dynamic energy simulation tools can provide to the designer important information, like the room temperature sensor position that should be close to the emitter and far from cold external walls, for the optimal design of HVAC systems.

The use of air conditioners (AC) and lighting that do not suit the needs and excessive results in a lack of comfort and high use of electrical energy. Ultrasonic Sensor of SRF-04 functions to find out the number of people in the room, temperature sensor of DHT 22 functions to calculate the temperature and humidity inside and outside the room, Light Intensity sensor of GY-302 functions to read the level of light intensity in the room and micro controller of Arduino Mega 2560 functions to process all input sensors become the command for operating the AC units and lights. The AC and lighting control system working well and can determine the time and number of AC and light that is needed. Those are based by Indonesian room comfort standards so that it can increase the comfort of the room in terms of cooling systems and room lighting with a temperature of 22oC to 25 oC and light intensity of 300 lux.

The paper designs a temperature control system based on AT89C51 and DS18B20. The design uses the DS18B20 digital temperature sensor as the temperature acquisition unit and the AT89C51 microcontroller unit to control them, not only have the advantages that easy to control and with good flexibility, but also can greatly enhance the controlled temperature index.

The vibration of a translating string, controlled through hydrodynamic bearing forces, is analyzed by the transfer function method. Interactions between the string response and the bearing film are described by the bearing impedance function. This function depends on the string translation speed, the frequency of the film thickness variation, and the spatial location of the bearings. The control system consists of the translating string, bearings, actuators and sensors, and feedback elements. An integral formulation of the controlled system response is proposed that leads to the closed-loop transfer function. The frequency response of the control system is studied in the system parameter space. The feasibility of adding active control to improve the bearing force control is also considered.

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the two energy saving position control strategies for AC drives valid for a wide range of boundary conditions including an analysis of their energy expenses. Design/methodology/approach For energy demands analysis, the optimal energy control based on mechanical and electrical losses minimization is compared with the near-optimal one based on symmetrical trapezoidal speed profile. Both control strategies respect prescribed maneuver time and define acceleration profile for preplanned rest-to-rest maneuver. Findings Presented simulations confirm lower total energy expenditures of energy optimal control if compared with near-optimal one, but the differences are only small due to the fact that two energy saving strategies are compared. Research limitations/implications Developed overall control system consisting of energy saving profile generator, pre-compensator and position control system respecting principles of field-oriented control is capable to track precomputed state variables precisely. Practical implications Energy demands of both control strategies are verified and compared to simulations and preliminary experiments. The possibilities of energy savings were confirmed for both control strategies. Originality/value Experimental verification of designed control structure is sufficiently promising and confirmed assumed energy savings.

Vibration control strategies strive to reduce the effect of harmful vibrations such as machining chatter. In general, these strategies are classified as passive or active. While passive vibration control techniques are generally less complex, there is a limit to their effectiveness. Active vibration control strategies, which work by providing an additional energy supply to vibration systems, on the other hand, require more complex algorithms but can be very effective. In this work, a novel artificial neural network-based active vibration control system has been developed. The developed system can detect the sinusoidal vibration component with the highest power and suppress it in one control cycle, and in subsequent cycles, sinusoidal signals with the next highest power will be suppressed. With artificial neural networks trained to cover enough frequency and amplitude ranges, most of the original vibration can be suppressed. The efficiency of the proposed methodology has been verified experimentally in the vibration control of a cantilever beam. Artificial neural networks can be trained automatically for updated time delays in the system when necessary. Experimental results show that the developed active vibration control system is real time, adaptable, robust, effective and easy to be implemented. Finally, an experimental setup of chatter suppression for a lathe has been successfully implemented, and the successful techniques used in the previous artificial neural network-based active vibration control system have been utilized for active chatter suppression in turning.
