Level of pollution in towers is high, or it is in continuously increasing and there are a lot of warnings regarding this everywhere. The concept from this paper describes a solution for monitoring in every moment the quality of air and the atmospheric conditions. Another important concept from this paper is the energy saving by using solar energy: a photovoltaic panel can convert the solar radiation into electricity and after that this energy can be stored in batteries(for example Li-Ion battery, as in this application). The battery will be charged by the photovoltaic panel during the day, and the stored energy will be used in the nighttime. The presented project is based on the important concepts from above and consists in two parts, a module for gathering the data from different sensors, processing the data and sending to a second module and also to a database. Based on the values from the sensors, graphs are created automatically for storing the history and the user can monitor anytime the quality of air and atmospheric conditions. In the following paper, there will be presented the block diagrams, implementation and testing for the entire system.","PeriodicalId":145923,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133410387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyzes are made based on the change in the detection accuracy percentage of the K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classification methods on the MATLAB software platform. At the same time, the effect of the binarization threshold value on images with different pixel dimensions (8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, and 128x128) are investigated.

Battery simulation is an extremely important topic as simulation of the battery and the circuit together emphasizes a detailed functioning before the physical implementation and can also reveal hidden faults. In this paper, a SPICE model for LiFePO4 battery cells was implemented and simulated. The model targets specifically the CALB CA180FA LiFePO4 cell used in automotive industry for Electric Vehicles (EV) or in Energy Storage Systems (ESS). There are no models currently implemented for the LiFePO4 battery cells, which affects the simulation process of the systems. The model proves of utmost importance in simulating battery-powered systems, energy storage systems and Battery Management Systems (BMS), helping in understanding the impact these circuits have on batteries they are powered from or are designed for. The most important characteristics implemented are the OCV (Open-Circuit Voltage) - SOC (State of Charge) curve and the internal resistance. The LiFePO4 cell model can be parameterized by choosing the values for cell capacity and internal resistance.","PeriodicalId":145923,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134440520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The considered mathematical model of the turbine allows the estimation of optimal energy quantities, calculating the values of the wind energy captured at different values for the mechanical angular speed, ω, MAS. For a good estimation of the optimum mechanical angular speed, we appeal to the equivalent wind speed, determining, at the same time, the wind energy losses that cannot be captured due to the high mechanical inertia. The power oscillations at the generator are also calculated correlated with the inertia moment, concluding that it is more efficient, in terms of conversion efficiency, that the wind turbines are placed in areas with slightly variable wind speed over time.","PeriodicalId":145923,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Symposium on Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (ISFEE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116409028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
