Furthermore, the term off-grid refers to being unconnected to the electrical grid. It is essential to keep the energy balance in positive.

The article describes the telemetry system and includes some programming technics and practices.","PeriodicalId":187762,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 16th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121598736","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}

Firstly, the Bayesian inference was described and then the particle filter was defined. The particle filter numerically solves a problem of a recursive Bayesian state estimator. Secondly, the parameters of the linear system and two types of the non-Gaussian systems were estimated by application of particle filter. The first system was the classical linear system. The second system was the linear system with a noise which had a different probability distribution than the Gaussian distribution and the last system was the system with a nonlinearity. Thirdly, the parameters of the non-Gaussian systems were estimated with the gradient based method Levenberg-Marquardt. Finally, the results from the particle filter were compared with the results from the gradient based method Levenberg-Marquardt.","PeriodicalId":187762,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 16th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126176012","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}

Different values of PID parameters make different step response, so an increasing amount of literature is devoted to proper tuning of PID controllers. The problem merits further investigation as traditional tuning methods make large control signal that can damage the system but evolutionary algorithms based tuning methods improve the control signal and closed loop performance. In this paper three tuning methods for PID controllers have been studied namely Ziegler and Nichols, which is traditional tuning method and evolutionary algorithms based tuning methods, that are, genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). To examine the validity of PSO and GA tuning methods a comparative analysis of DC motor plant is studied. Simulation results reveal that evolutionary algorithms based tuning method have improved control signal amplitude and quality factors of the closed loop system such as rise time, integral absolute error (IAE) and maximum overshoot.","PeriodicalId":187762,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 16th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131841047","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 process was made to allow for the determination of the replacement of the control signal in order to adjust its frequency to the frequency of operation of the control system. The purpose of the algorithm is to adjust the frequency of the measured signal to the frequency control circuit when the frequency of the signals from the measurements is too low. The algorithm is based on Hermite curves taking into account measurement signal and their first derivative. The paper also presents the verification of the algorithm.

Almost four decades ago, engineers and scientists began to venture into the field of fractional calculus by unfolding its applications where fractional differential equation models are valid. It has been found that fractional calculus indeed is becoming ubiquitous, seeing applications in many fields of sciences and engineering, from fractional diffusion equations and various biomedical applications, to signal processing and control engineering applications. A conclusion was then later proposed that fractional calculus is actually a generalization of integer-order calculus, being so powerful, it could overcome the advantages of its integer-order counterparts. This paper offers a comprehensive discussion on the applications of fractional calculus in the design and implementation of fractional-order systems in the form of electronic circuits which could be used for signal processing and control engineering applications. The article starts with the introduction to fractional calculus including some history and mathematical definitions. The second part of the article focuses on fractional-order differential equations and systems. Example circuit designs and implementation are then discussed which includes an elaboration of some papers related to this area. The final part of the article presents possible research topics in this area.","PeriodicalId":187762,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 16th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124578700","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}

Numerical calculations were performed using results of measurements of biomass fired fluidized bed boiler OFz-201. In next step, obtained results of thermal calculations were used to develop energetic characteristic which, take under consideration, the influence of operating conditions on energetic efficiency of boiler.

This has brought significant economical and operational benefits, but it also provided new opportunities for malicious actors targeting critical PCS. To address these challenges, in this work we employ our previously developed Cyber Attack Impact Assessment (CAIA) technique to provide a systematic mechanism to help PCS designers and industry operators to assess the impact severity of various cyber threats. Moreover, the question of why a device is more critical than others, and also the motivation of this work, are answered through extensive numerical results showing the significance of systems dynamics in the context of closed-loop PCS. The CAIA approach is validated against the simulated Tennessee Eastman chemical process, including 41 observed variables and 12 control variables, involved in cascade controller structures. The results show the application possibilities and effectiveness of CAIA for various attack scenarios.","PeriodicalId":187762,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 16th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130651343","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}
