The main purpose of the system is to provide expert early warnings to protect children with health problems. An in-situ PM10, PM2.5 monitoring network was designed and an online PM2.5 monitoring network is under development for each city. Two case studies of PM air pollution analysis and forecast for the Ploiesti city are described. The PM air pollution analysis, forecasting, and children health impact analysis were made by using techniques from statistics and artificial intelligence.","PeriodicalId":257135,"journal":{"name":"2015 19th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115465633","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 optimization process is subject to the constraint that the biomass concentration to be constant at a desired value. The optimal point is obtained making a local approximation of the steady state behaviour by a second degree hyper-surface, whose parameters are estimated with a finite-memory optimal estimator. The plant control in the proximity of each operating point is provided by a linear multivariable law whose parameters are adapted such that the eigenvalues of the closed loop linearized system belong to an invariant spectrum. The behaviour of the proposed algorithm is analysed by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":257135,"journal":{"name":"2015 19th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"59 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116384106","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}

A Super Twisting controller is implemented using a recently proposed gains adaptation law [1], thus not requiring the knowledge of the upper bound of the lumped uncertainties. The controller is extended by a feedforward dynamic inversion control that reduces the effort of the sliding mode controller. Compared to a recently developed Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode Controller for cable-driven parallel robots [2], the proposed controller manages to achieve lower tracking errors and less chattering in the actuation forces even in presence of perturbations. The system is implemented and tested in simulation using a model of a large redundant cable-driven robot and assuming noisy measurements. Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":257135,"journal":{"name":"2015 19th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124652319","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}

Two main operating modes are possible: grid-feeding, when system operates as a power source connected to the grid, and grid-forming (standalone), when system operates as a voltage source supplying an islanded load. A two-level global control architecture is employed for both cases, which relies on three-phase current control in the αβ frame as inner loops. Proportional-resonant (PR) controllers are used to this end. This paper discusses PR controllers design and numerical implementation and proposes a solution to deal with the parameter-varying nature of plant, exhibited especially in the off-grid case. Opportunity of using Smith predictor schemes for compensate pure delay due to digital pulse-width modulation (PWM) is also analyzed. MATLAB®/Simulink® simulation results illustrate the proposed control approach effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":257135,"journal":{"name":"2015 19th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121634480","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}

We combined different properties of the images like color, texture and fractal types. A class of flood and one of non-flood were established based on clustering properties of some features and a criterion of similarity is used to segment the flood zones. Finally, the evaluation of the flood size is proposed. The method was tested on 10 images of flood zones and a rate of accuracy of 98.87% was obtained.","PeriodicalId":257135,"journal":{"name":"2015 19th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130963333","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}
