An alternative biocatalyst-based method for electrical energy conservation

B. Kirov1, V. Galabov2
1 TU-Sofia, FA/ANP
2 TU-Sofia ANP/FA

 

The presented work describes an alternative method for conservation of electrical energy as reduced forms of carbon, namely methane and other more oxidized de-rivatives. The conservation process is biocatalytic and is performed in modified mi-crobial fuel cells (MFC’s). In the latter the cathode provides the electrical energy for the process. However, organics from wastewater are also utilized as a source of en-ergy for the process. The latter consists in the reduction of inorganic carbon (car-bon dioxide) in the presence of the biocatalyst. In this paper we present some exper-imental results with regard to energy consumption, energy-to-organics conversion efficiency and level of organic load removal from wastewater utilized in the process.

  1. KARACHIVIEV
    TU - SOFIA

 

The possibility of modeling the biosensor measuring process for analyzing the parameters characterizing the coagulation ability of milk is analyzed in connection with the achievement of possibilities for overcoming technological weaknesses in the measurement and achievement of equal accuracy in all indicators. The aim of this study is to determine the possibility of modeling the cow's milk coagulation rate by using enzymes of different concentration. The coagulation rate was found in 420 assayed cows' milk samples. Four enzymes were tested with 4 concentrations each and one control group with standard chimosin recommended by the manufacturer. The analyzes were made using a Polo Trade - Computerize Renneting Meter biosensor. The analysis of the results was carried out using the SYSTAT statistical package. Significant differences in the rate of coagulation rate using different types of chymosin and the control group were found.

Sliding mode contol for DC electric drive

R. Voliansky, N. Volianska, A. Sadovoi, Y. Sokhina
Dniprovsk State Technical University

 

The paper deals with the construction of multi-loop control system of DC electric drive. Suggested system is robust, invariant to parametric and coordinate disturbance, and asymptotically stable due to using first order sliding mode control algorithms. Contrary to well-known sliding mode algorithms we propose to use a sliding mode for both goals. At first, we offer to transform dynamic of control object into Brunovsky form by using sliding mode controller. Such transformation allows us to construct a robust and invariant closed loop control system and to form dynamic of the control object. Then, we suggest using sliding mode controller for control of the transformed object. Such approach permits to construct a precise and an asymptotically stable control system. We use the proposed approach for construction current and speed controllers for DC electric drive and proving of our method's benefits by simulation of the constructed system.

Automated text preprocessing for text analysis

M. Marinov
TU-Sofia

 

The amount of written knowledge in the world is increasing exponentially. However, automated systems, intended to help people maintain this knowledge base, are still too few in number and rudimentary. This paper outlines an algorithm, which aims to tackle several issues common to all natural language processing cases. The focus is on reducing word ambiguity, which is caused by: - combining words into compound words; - different word forms used for grammatical reasons; - spelling mistakes people make when writing. There is also a proposal for a way of mitigating other issues, such as: - use of more than one language in a document, specifically Bulgarian and English. - different ways to combine the same words into sentences with the same meaning. - determining word meaning depending on context.

Abstract: The paper considers the problem of state impulse response computation and approximation. The general theory of linear time varying systems is shortly presented and the role of the transient matrix for solving the linear state equation is shown . The basic properties of the transient matrix are considered and the basic approaches for its computation are presented. An algorithm for computation of the transient matrix is proposed, which is based on the integration of the state equation by the method of Runge – Kutta. The role of the adjoint system is shown and the two basic impulse characteristics, namely the normal and the adjoint state impulse responses are presented. It is shown how these characteristics can be approximated in terms of the Legendre orthogonal series. A numerical example, demonstrating the implementation of the algorithms, is also presented and the error of approximation is computed.

In this paper investigations concerning LQG (Linear Quadratic Gaussian) approach for power control of wind turbine generator combined with the methodology LTR (Loop Transfer Recovery) are presented. Two-mass drive train model is considered. Тhe linear model with parametric uncertainty is obtained. This model describes the plant dynamics in whole working range. Based on uncertain model the robustness analysis of the control system based on LQR controller is performed. The results show that the designed LQR controller provides robust stability and robust performance of the control system. These results are compared with the corresponding ones obtained by LQG and LQG/LTR methodologies when part of the states are estimated by Kalman filter. Simulation results show the control system performance in “maximum power extraction” regime when the wind speed varies in a large range.

TRANSIENT AND STEADY STATES ANALYSIS IN LINEAR ELECTRICAL CIRCUTS USING DUHAMEL’S INTEGRAL WHEN THE ENERGY SOURCES ARE WITH ARBITRARY FORM

 

Simona Petrakieva

TU-SOFIA

 

Abstract: In the paper, the Duhamel’s integral for determining the analytical expressions for currents and voltages during the transient and steady states in linear electrical circuits, is applied. Method is compared with other approaches for solving this problem. It is discussed its advantages and disadvantages. Main advantage of this technique consist in the fact that by the integral it can be obtain the analitical expression for the arbitrary quantity (current or voltage, rarely potential) when the energy sources (voltage or current sources) vary in the time as piece-continuous arbitrary  functions. Disadvantages of Duhamel’s integral consists in the big numbers of calculations during the process of determining analytical expressions of the studied quantities and unavailability of physical interpretation of them during the solution. The applicability of the considered method is illustrated on the real example.
