Abstract

This paper presents the design and experimental validation of a DC-AC power inverter, controlled analogically with zero hysteresis. A control circuit was built using analog electronics components, and optocoupler devices are used to couple the control module with the power stage. The design of DC-AC inverter with electronics circuit and implementation are shown in detail.  Experimental results show the effectiveness of control technique and implementation, leading to a robust system concerning load disturbances. The developed inverter offers the possibility of generating regulated output voltages of different signal types, both DC and AC, variable in frequency and in amplitude, useful for feeding a load with various AC signals.

Abstract

The inertia issues in a microgrid can be improved by modifying the inverter control strategies to represent a virtual inertia simulation. This method employs the droop control strategy commonly used to share the power of a load among different power sources in the microgrid. This paper utilizes a modified droop control that represents this virtual inertia and applies an optimization algorithm to determine the optimal parameters and improve transient response. The results show better control when different variations are presented in the loads, leading the microgrid to have a better control of the operation. The optimization method applied in this research allows improvement to the transient response, thus avoiding unnecessary blackouts in the microgrid.

Abstract

In a power system, the load demand considers two components such as the real power (P) because of resistive elements, and the reactive power (Q) because inductive or capacitive elements. This paper presents a graphical representation of the electric power demand based on the topological properties of the Julia Sets, with the purpose of observing the different graphic patterns and relationship with the hourly load consumptions. An algorithm that iterates complex numbers related to power is used to represent each fractal diagram of the load demand. The results show some representative patterns related to each value of the power consumption and similar behaviour in the fractal diagrams, which allows to understand consumption behaviours from the different hours of the day. This study allows to make a relation among the different consumptions of the day to create relationships that lead to the prediction of different behaviour patterns of the curves.

Abstract

Laboratory higher education institutions can generate a wide range of wastes,many of which have hazardous characteristics. The uncontrolled accumulation of such wastes also has a significant impact on the environment, safety and health of the academic community. This work formulates strategies that allow the development of integrated solutions to mitigate the latent risk for the community at Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de Antioquia,Colombia, and its surroundings. Therefore, it is considered to quantify the generation of waste in the units of analysis of different experimental spacesand evaluate the factors involved in the implementation of strategies for diagnosis, waste recovery, treatment, and final disposition. Based on the diagnosis and characterization of wastes, alternatives are evaluated that help to prevent and, in other cases, mitigate the impacts that they can cause, in order to consolidate a protocol for waste management. Hazardous waste disposition strategies, treatment mechanisms and minimization strategies, such as microchemistry, precipitation recycling, encapsulation and immobilization methods, evaporation as well as solvent recovery, have been implemented.

Abstract

This paper presents the characterization of excitation source LEDs and sensors without filters for measuring fluorescence in fluorescein and green leaf extract. For this purpose, eight light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used with the following characteristics: one blue, one green, one red, one infrared, and four violets. The first four LEDs were used as sensors without filters to detect fluorescence induced by the other four violet LEDs in 11 samples of different fluorescein concentrations and in 14 samples of different dilutions of green leaf extract. The results show that infrared LEDs can detect the red emission of green leaf extract and red and infrared LEDs detect the fluorescence of fluorescein in concentrations of up to 1.8 μM. The developed system allows and facilitates teaching optical spectroscopy in basic education without incurring high costs.

Abstract

This paper presents the performance of a fixed-point induction control (FPIC) technique working in conjunction with the non-linear control technique called zero average dynamics (ZAD) to control chaos in a buck converter. The control technique consists of a sliding surface in which the error tends to zero at each sampling period. A switch is controlled by using centered pulse width modulation (CPWM) control signal. The converter controlled with ZAD-FPIC has been simulated in Matlab and implemented using rapid control prototyping (RCP) in a DSP to make comparisons between simulation and experimental tests. To perform this comparison, some variations in the control parameter and the voltage reference are made in order to evaluate the performance of the system. Results are obtained with errors lower than 1 % which demonstrates the good performance of the control techniques.
