In this study, a dynamic system has been modeled to efficiently use a photovoltaic generation and control system (PVGCS) for driving of a medium power off-grid electric machine. The measures have been taken to respond to three different disturbing factors in this system. First, the photovoltaic panels selected for energy generation have a variable solar radiation effect. Second, the DC motor load at the system output is assumed to have a variable torque. Third, a variable reference voltage, which is determined even in the case of time-varying energy generation and consumption of the system, is followed with minimum error. For this purpose, a push-pull converter has been chosen as a highly flexible structure since it is predicted that it can provide stable and effective variable DC voltage at increasing and decreasing level required for DC motor. The control of the DC voltage at different levels to be provided by the push-pull converter is performed by PI, fuzzy logic, fuzzy-tuned PI, 2-DOF PI, and fractional PID logic whose coefficients are selected by appropriate methods, respectively. The system efficiency and stability under the influence of these five different advanced controllers are compared. In the case of two disturbing factors affecting the system, the difference values (errors) of the voltage generated by each selected controller with the reference voltage are determined comparatively. The studies were carried out by using dynamic system modeling in MATLAB-SIMULINK software. In addition, the results of this study proved which type of controllers is more successful in controlling systems with the second order and more instability factors and which of them responds to sudden changes in errors more quickly.

High voltage circuit breakers are important protection and control equipment for the power grid. The defects and faults of the circuit breaker seriously affect the safety and stability of the power system. As the key component of the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker, the opening/closing coils contain a large amount of information about the operating status of the mechanism. In order to investigate the cause of the difference in the current waveforms, this paper analyzes the factors affecting the circuit breaker opening/closing coil current based on the actual high voltage circuit breaker, and distinguishes the characteristics of the current caused by the environmental difference and Structural difference. At the same time, the characteristics of coil current changes under four different types of mechanism defects are analyzed. These results lay the foundation for status evaluation of high voltage circuit breakers based on opening/closing coil current.

Currently, spraying is a main means for dust prevention and control in underground coal mines. The dust-suppression efficiency via spraying is highly correlated with the wettability of coal dusts. There are many factors affecting the wettability of coal dust, among which coal’s metamorphic degree has great influence. In order to gain in-depth knowledge of the effects of coal metamorphic degree on coal dust wettability and the dust-suppression efficiency via spraying, 6 coal dust samples with different metamorphic degrees were collected and used in the study. In the experiments, the microproperties, wetting performance, and dust-suppression efficiency via spraying were measured. According to the experimental results of coal’s microproperties, with the improvement of metamorphic degree, the content of hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface, the surface roughness, the specific surface area, and the interpore diameter all decreased. In addition, as coal’s metamorphic degree was enhanced from lignite to meager-lean coal, the wettability of the coal dust dropped. On the other hand, as the metamorphic degree of coal quality continued to be improved to anthracite, the wettability of the coal dust increased instead. The measured results revealed that the dust-suppression efficiency via spraying was highly correlated with the wettability of coal dust. The coal dust with better wettability exhibited higher dust-suppression efficiency via spraying. With the increase of water-supply pressure, the effect of coal dust wettability on the dust-suppression efficiency via spraying was weakened, and the difference of dust-suppression efficiency among different coal dust samples was narrowed.

This paper presents a device for measuring and maintaining the constant water level in a tank. The device uses a capacity sensor to measure the water level. The sensor has a DC voltage output proportional to the water level in the tank. This voltage can be used in other automation too. The water level, in percentages, is displayed on a vu meter with 8 LEDs. The circuit for maintaining the constant level consists in a comparator with hysteresis. The level of the water is adjustable, using a reference voltage from a potentiometer (marked in percentages). The level of the water is compared with the prescribed level and the difference between them commands the start/stop of the water pump which supplies the tank through a relay. The device is powered by 220 V and is isolated from the environment.

The identification of system parameters plays an essential role in system modeling and control. This paper presents a parameter estimation for a permanent magnetic DC motor using the simulink design optimization method. The parameter estimation may be represented as an optimization problem. Firstly, the initial values of the DC motor parameters are extracted using the dynamic model through measuring the values of voltage, current, and speed of the motor. Then, these values are used as an initial value for simulink design optimization. The experimentally inputoutput data can be collected using a suggested microcontroller based circuit that will be used later for estimating the DC motor parameters by building a simulink model. Two optimization algorithms are used, the pattern search and the nonlinear least square. The results show that the nonlinear least square algorithm gives a more accurate result that almost approaches to the actual measured speed response of the motor.

Abstract The paper attempts to determine an optimum structure of a directional measurement and control network intended for investigating horizontal displacements. For this purpose it uses the notion of entropy as a logarithmical measure of probability of the state of a particular observation system. An optimum number of observations results from the difference of the entropy of the vector of parameters ΔHX̂ (x)corresponding to one extra observation. An increment of entropy interpreted as an increment of the amount of information about the state of the system determines the adoption or rejection of another extra observation to be carried out.

This paper explores the comparative analysis of the financial controlling, who is a result from the common controlling concept and the financial management. In the specialized literature, financial controlling is seen as an innovative approach to financial management. It is often presented as the most promising instrument of financial diagnostics. Generally speaking, financial controlling is seen as a process of managing the company`s assets which are valued in monetary measures. The difference between the financial management and the financial controlling is that the second covers all functions of management, analysis and control of finances, aiming at maximizing their effective use and increasing the value of the enterprise. Financial controlling is often seen as a function of the common practice of financial management. Its objective is to preserve the financial stability and financial sustainability of enterprises operating in a highly aggressive business environment.
