With the use of real-time acquisition using heterogeneous sensors, communication and innetwork processing, a great level of accuracy in the results can be achieved, but may involve huge energy consumption. In this work, the idea of exploiting 3 different approaches for energy conservation in WSN is presented for water pipelines monitoring namely schemes based on Duty-Cycling and Data-Driven approaches for energy saving, and Least Squares Estimation are presented for reducing communication, sensing and processing energies, when noisy pressure sensors along a straight pipeline are used for finding the location of a leak. Simulation results are shown for localization of small and large leaks for different numbers of sensors that result in various levels of accuracies and energy consumption, which shed some light on the tradeoff that can be achieved in saving energy and attaining good accuracy.","PeriodicalId":149580,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126349576","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}

This system is underactuated, nonholonomic and unstable. In order to achieve a simple control structure, the system is modeled on two levels: a nonholonomic kinematic model covering the motion of the axles midpoint and a holonomic kinetic model reflecting the (unstable) dynamics of the 3D multibody system. The kinematic model can be controlled via dynamic extension and exact feedback linearization while the multibody system is stabilized by a linear static state feedback. Both models are linked by the velocities of the wheels. The unavoidable lack of controllability for vanishing velocity is also addressed.","PeriodicalId":149580,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115150203","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 paper is devoted to the presentation of a comparison study between two DTC-SVM strategies applied to the speed control of an induction motor: (i) a DTC-SVM control using PI controllers and (ii) a DTC-SVM control using sliding mode controllers without and with gain load estimator. Firstly, mathematical fundamentals of both strategies are briefly formulated. Then, and considering a linear torque case, an adaptive load torque estimator is inserted in the speed loop in order to overcome the problem of load disturbance effects. Finally, simulation results dealing with steady-state as well as dynamic behaviors of the induction motor under both DTC-SVM strategies are presented and compared. Simulation results clearly show that SM DTC-SVM strategy with load estimator offers the best performances and the load disturbances effects can be completely discarded.","PeriodicalId":149580,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114510046","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}
