With the help of these parameters an appropriate controller can be tuned without knowledge of a plant mathematical model, or on the other side an approximate plant mathematical model can be determined on their basis. It is often assumed that the plant model includes time delay. The converse problem, i.e. the determination of the ultimate parameters, is mostly very difficult task because of the time delay existence which is represented by the transcendental function in the complex variable domain. The paper is devoted to determining and employing of ultimate parameters for the common plants with time delay. Most of the obtained results are new and they are presented in the form of transparent tables.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115575623","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}

UCG is the process, which can be attractive from environmental and economic aspect and is able to have a wide utilization in the future. This technology is less expensive than conventional mining. For research and good analyze of this process there was created the physical model of the gasifier, that simulate the conditions of the real coal-bed in geometric similarity. On created physical model was performed a several experiments represent a various underground conditions. In the gasification process the input is the coal (coal-bed) and oxidizer (mixture of the air and oxygen), which suitable combination provides the best conditions for gasification. One of the expected outputs from the coal gasification process is the high temperature in the coal-bed, which enable running of the chemical reaction needed for the syngas generation. The control of this temperature in the single places of the coal-bed would enable to control behavior of the chemical reactions so the burning queue proceeds. The measurement of the temperatures inside the coal-bed is still complicated because there is the high thermocouples mortality in aggressively hot environment. For this reason is needed to use mathematic - physical apparatus for indirect measurement of these temperatures. In this contribution is presented proposal of the indirect temperature measurement structure in the coal-bed that was verified in the laboratory conditions on the experimental gasifier.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121948884","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}

Tested shafts have different properties and are made from different materials. In this paper we focus on the measurement of three types of shafts where two shafts are from the magnetic material and one from the non-magnetic material. The magnetic shafts are divided on the hollow shaft and filled shaft. The laboratory measurement for verification of deviation measurement (instability) were carried out. The measurement result is measured data comparison from three different types of sensors namely sensor of deviations (digital micrometer), sensor based on eddy current (inductive sensor) and sensor based on capacitive principle. These sensors are basic measurement components of the Rotor-kit system and for rotor's instability suppressing is the verification of measurement results for used sensor types also very important.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114794371","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}

Instead of using semi-active or active control methods which normally depend on the quality of measured signals and may have stability concerns, recent studies have revealed that optimal vibration isolation over a wide frequency range can be achieved by using nonlinear damping. The present study is concerned with the realisation of the ideal nonlinear damping characteristic using a feedback controlled MR damper. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the advantages of a simple but effective control strategy. This research work has signilicant implications for the design of MR dampers and the design of vibration control in a range of engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133575914","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 call it the class of 'Π-algebraic' systems. It is shown that every Π-algebraic nonlinear system undergoes a quadratic embedding into a suitable (non associative) algebra. This means that a product can be defined in the state-space, which makes the latter a non associative algebra, whose associated quadratic differential equation has a subset of entries of its solution equal to the solution of the original nonlinear system. We also study a related control problem, where for a meaningful subclass of the considered systems it is shown that a state-feedback regulator can be build up, having exponential performance, which makes the y-axe in IR2 a globally asymptotically stable equilibrium set of the closed-loop system.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123834299","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}

By selecting a suitable annealing process control of steel coils we improve the quality of annealed batch and economic efficiency of furnace operation. When selecting a suitable heat treatment for a specific application purpose, one starts by learning the desired metal properties and by acquiring knowledge about properties structures. One must also consider the structural transformations that take place in systems by temperature changes. Addressing the challenge of accelerating and improving the metal heating procedure is the main research and development direction of the current thermal technology in all industrialized countries in the world. Considering the introduction of new management technologies, it is important to take measurements, in a way to maintain the measuring uncertainties within required limits. In the annealing process (heat treatment of steel), the measuring the temperature inside the steel coils plays an important role. Because the direct temperature measurement cannot be performed for several reasons (e.g. processed material damage, thermocouples wear, difficult assembly of thermocouples into the coil and so on) it is necessary to utilize systems of indirect measurement. This article examines the impacts of a change on the sampling of the measured values frequency, directly in the process of steel coils annealing in regard to the quality of the recorded signal utilizing indirect measurements systems.","PeriodicalId":373601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 14th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116067349","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}
