In this paper, we propose a closing strategy when the compensation capacitor and system voltage come to the peak voltage, the method of capacitor banks synchronous closing sequence is analysed, and the shortest delay time to switch closing in optimal phase is given. In order to improve the breaker synchronous closing precision, the adaptive digital AC voltage zero crossing detection is adopted to acquire the zero point of the reference signal, and the method of multi-element liner regression is handled to dynamic predict the breaker operating time and trend. Theoretical analysis and simulation result show that the transient overvoltage and inrush current when closing capacitor banks at peak voltage are decreased effectively, which offers the basis of theory and software algorithms for the development of a synchronous switching control system of compensation capacitor.

Today the increased competitiveness of global market forces companies to provide products and services with quality standards ever higher at lower costs. In this sense, both technological development and innovation, as strategic factor, drive companies to invest in development of smart applications that allows to increase global efficiency and improves the quality, understood as satisfaction of the client. In Continuous Casting Production (CCP), for example, this means Slag Sensing System (SSS) improvement in order to obtain better purity of molten steel and at the same time to reduce the maintenance costs associated with the implantation of casting. After an overview of SSS currently used in industry, this paper deals with vibrational analysis and characterization of the process of CCP to develop an on-line real-time application of vibrational method for slag detection. At first time domain and frequency domain analysis is performed to characterize the vibrations associated with the plant, subsequently, on the base of obtained results, a control algorithm is developed and the related software is coded, in order to drive the closing of the nozzle valve in a real industrial application.

One of the most important factors in the successful application of unmanned vehicles is the ability to determine where a vehicle is in relation to its local environment. While GPS technology works well in most locations, the satellite coverage necessary for this technology to function is not available in cluttered environments and inside buildings. Current technological workarounds involve high resolution image processing, which is expensive in terms of both monetary and computational cost. Our project team is working to develop an alternative localization solution for drones that uses low cost lasers and off-the-shelf components. The technique involves setting up two or more "lighthouse" beacons in a controlled environment. The beacons will pulse invisible infrared light from LEDs and sweep vertical sheets of infrared lasers around the environment. Photodiodes installed on the UGV will respond to these light sources and pass this information to a processor. Based on the timing of the diode response, the angle between the lighthouse and the diodes can be determined. When combined with ultrasonic altitude data, these angles can be processed to determine the location of the diodes and subsequently the location and orientation of the UGV. The accuracy and precision of the final lighthouse system will be assessed to determine its usefulness for localizing drones in a controlled environment. The end goal of the technical project is to design a system that will facilitate the automated driving of a UGV based on localization data from the lighthouse system while being scalable for future implementation in 3D applications.

Diabetes is an incurable disease where the body is not able to maintain the blood sugar level as the glucose in the blood is not utilize due to the destruction of the beta pancreatic cell of the liver. Blood sugar level of body is a very important factor for health and it should be maintain within the desired level or else this would result in complications and often serious damage to the body. Therefore treatment must be provided in case of high or low blood sugar level. In case of high blood sugar level, insulin must be injected and in case of low blood sugar level we should inject glucagon into the body. This paper is concerned on advanced method of simulation that can be used to implement a real insulin and glucagon pump that can work in real time to prevent the fatal effects of diabetes on body. This system also covers all the safety critical system aspect required to build a system that has a direct effect on human life. To provide better insulin and glucagon management and to reduce the need for human supervision, we have implement a control algorithm for the insulin and glucagon pump to automate the delivery process. The control algorithm adapts the glucose metabolic rate and determine the appropriate amount of insulin or glucagon to be delivered into the body. Method that is followed is effective and efficient in maintaining the blood sugar level. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) of the system is very easy and user friendly that makes it easier for the patient and doctor to use. Different sets of testing were used to insure the safety and efficiency of the insulin pump simulation.

The Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) is becoming more and more attractive because of its simple structure, robustness and cost-efficiency. It is a good candidate for variable speed applications such as Electric Vehicles (EVs), electric ships, aerospace, wind turbines, etc. However, the SRM inherently suffers from high torque ripple which is the main limitation preventing its use in high-performance applications. To reduce this torque ripple, the turn-on and turn-off angles of the motor phases can be adjusted. In this thesis, the SRM fundamentals are investigated along with the inductance model. For the linear case, the inductance is calculated using the analytical method. The non-linear model is then discussed as an improvement to this method. control loops are designed based on the system block diagrams which are derived from the small signal model. The turn-on angle is calculated according to the operating conditions, and the turn- off angle is varied within a small range. At each combination of turn-on and turn-off angles, torque ripple, which is defined as the summation of the differences between each instantaneous torque and the average torque, is estimated and compared with other combinations. Based on these results, the best firing angle is selected to achieve the minimum possible torque ripple. The method is verified using simulations in Matlab/Simulink and physical experiments. The control algorithm is implemented on a microcontroller for the experiments and it is able to tune the firing angles in real time at different operating conditions. Spectrum analysis of the torque signal is used to prove the reduction of torque ripple.

The design of a stabilization control algorithm for spacecraft that accounts for actuator saturation, dead-zone nonlinearities, and a velocity limit to ensure a fast and accurate response is reported. This control algorithm is also designed to achieve effective compensation for external disturbances and parametric uncertainty. In addition, extensive simulations were performed using different actuator nonlinearities, disturbance inputs, and even random noise. These results showed that the attitude control and energy saving are accomplished despite these undesired effects in the system. Moreover, the flexibility in the choice of control parameters can be used to obtain desirable performance while meeting constraints on the control magnitude and velocity. These control approaches provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of the advanced control theory to spacecraft attitude control systems.
