The article deals with the possibility of efficient control of small and medium-scale biomass-fired boilers by implementing low-cost sensors to sense the trend of carbon monoxide emissions into control of the biomass combustion process. Based on the theoretical analysis, a principle block diagram of the process control system was designed for the possibility of providing near-optimal control of the biomass combustion regardless of its quality parameters. A cost-effective hardware solution to obtain the dependence of CO emissions on O2 concentration in flue gas during combustion and new control algorithms was implemented into the process control and monitoring system of the biomass-fired boilers to test them in the real operation. A description of the designed control system, a data analysis of the monitored values and their impact on combustion process, and some results of the implemented control of the real biomass combustion process are presented in the article.

Technical Realization

This paper describes technical realization of operation monitoring of biomass combustion process. Due to specific properties of biomass fuel and specific demands for economic and ecological conditions of operation of biomass combustion devices, process control system has to be monitored. During process monitoring problem with sensing process variables occurs and that’s why this paper also deals with a method of signal filtration of carbon monoxide and oxygen concentration, because signal includes an interference parts.

The paper deals with the special filtration method using a filter with membership function. The paper presents a model of a filter, its specific characteristics and some parameters that have an impact on quality of filtration. A filter with different membership functions (Gauss, Bell, Power and Triangle) was designed and tested for specific demands, which followed from the experience with the realization of a biomass combustion control system. Data obtained from the combustion process were extremely noisy (influenced by various transfer errors, disturbances and external interferences) and, therefore, had to be properly filtered. The paper also describes some results of filter simulation in the Matlab Simulink environment and its implementation into an on-line monitored process control system of biomass combustion. It was proven by implementation that such a filter can be useful for the signal filtering of oxygen concentration and carbon monoxide emission sensing and it can be very useful in reducing signal interferences arising in biomass combustion.

Three Degree Of Freedom

To fulfil the objective of high speed, high precision and intelligence in the modern equipment and advanced manufacturing industry, the magnetic bearing is requested to have small volume, low cost and low consumption. In this paper, an AC-DC three-degree-of-freedom hybrid magnetic bearing (AC-DC-3DOF-HMB) is studied, which integrates radial bearing and axial bearing in one of the magnetic bearing. The configuration and principle of AC-DC-3DOF-HMB are expounded, and the mathematical models of suspension forces are given. Then based on the function block diagram of AC-DC-3DOF-HMB control system, its hardware and software configuration are designed. The experiment results show that the rotor can be suspended stably with three degrees of freedom and has a good performance in anti- interference, and the feasibility of the control system design can be verified.

Aiming at the shortcoming of the integral accumulation in the process of CVT ratio adjusting control, which is caused by the general PID control method, a new ratio adjusting control system based on the shift integral PID control method was designed. The theory of CVT ratio adjusting process and the enhanced control method were analized. The enhanced PID parameter tuning principle was presented. The test-bed of CVT ratio adjusting control was devised and adopted to do the CVT ratio tracing experiments. The experiments of step ratio from 0.45 to 1.45 and from 1.7 to 0.7 were made. The experimental results proved that the new ratio adjusting control system and the enhanced PID parameter tuning principle were valid, which made the real ratio trace the object ratio rapidly and steadily. The control performance of CVT ratio adjusting was improved.

In Ukraine, the condition of surface water near industrial enterprises is extremely critical. The operation of enterprises leads to intensive water pollution with industrial and domestic wastewater. Therefore, improving the quality of treatment facilities through the introduction of automated control systems is an urgent problem. For the operation of automated control systems for typical cleaning processes, a software package is required, which is developed on the basis of appropriate algorithmic software and mathematical models of processes. To obtain them, methods of mathematical and simulation modeling and block diagram method of algorithmization were used. In order to assess the quality of the developed algorithm for controlling the process of buffer wastewater neutralization during operation, a comparison of control system operation based on this algorithm with the most successful foreign variants of neutralization control systems was made. Simulation for the average values of operating parameters Q = 75 m3 / h, CP = 75 g / l, and Ck = 2 g / l at minimum b = 0.02 g / l pH and maximum buffer value b = 0.47 g / l pH, and also with  unidirectional extreme combination of parameters Q = 50 m3 / h, CP = 100 g / l, b = 0,02 g / l pH and Q = 100 m3 / h, CP= 50 g / l, for minimum b = 0.02 g / l pH and maximum buffering value  b = 0.47 g / l pH shows that the best quality of transient processes is for the control system operating on the basis of the developed algorithm. For any combination of parameters, the transients for this control system provide better quality transients. Studies have shown that the control system based on the developed algorithm in comparison with the previously proposed systems provides better process control by reducing the time of transients and reducing the dynamic deviation of the output parameters, which improves the quality of wastewater treatment. Given the non-stationary process and high requirements for the cleaning parameters, manual control of this process is beyond the power of even an experienced operator. The developed mathematical model describing the dynamics of the wastewater neutralization reactor with buffer properties and the process control algorithm made it possible to proceed to the development of the control system software, which is necessary for the automated control of this process.
