Abstract

The aim of any industrial plant, which is dealing in the energy sector, is to maximise the revenue generation at the lowest production cost. It can be carried out either by optimizing the manpower or by improving the performance index of the overall unit. This paper focuses on the optimisation of a biomass power plant which is powered by G50 hardwood chips (Austrian standard for biomass chips). The experiments are conducted at different operating conditions. The overall effect of the enhanced abilities of a reactor on the power generation is examined. The output enthalpy of a generated gas, the gas yield of a reactor and the driving mechanism of the pyrolysis are examined in this analysis. The thermal efficiency of the plant is found to vary from 44 to 47% at 400◦C, whereas it is 44 to 48% for running the same unit at 600 ◦C. The transient thermal condition is solved with the help of the lumped capacitance method. The thermal efficiency of the same design, within the constraint limit, is enhanced by 5.5%, whereas the enthalpy of the produced gas is magnified by 49.49% through nonlinear optimisation. The temperature of biomass should be homogenous, and the ramping rate must be very high. The 16% rise in temperature of the reactor is required to reduce the mass yield by 20.17%. The gas yield of the reactor is increased by up to 85%. The thermal assessment indicates that the bed is thermally thin, thus the exterior heat transfer rate is a deciding factor of the pyrolysis in the reactor.

Abstract

High voltage direct current (HVDC) emergency control can significantly improve the transient stability of an AC/DC interconnected power grid, and is an important measure to reduce the amount of generator and load shedding when the system fails. For the AC/DC interconnected power grid, according to the location of failure, disturbances can be classified into two categories: 1) interconnected system tie-line faults, which will cause the power unbalance at both ends of the AC system, as a result of the generator rotor acceleration at the sending-end grid and the generator rotor deceleration at the receiving-end grid; 2) AC system internal faults, due to the isolation effect of the DC system, only the rotor of the generator in the disturbed area changes, which has little impact on the other end of the grid. In view of the above two different locations of disturbance, auxiliary power and frequency combination control as well as a switch strategy, are proposed in this paper. A four-machine two-area transmission system and a multi-machine AC/DC parallel transmission system were built on the PSCAD platform. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Abstract

This paper proposes two high-order sliding mode algorithms to achieve highperformance control of induction motor drive. In the first approach, the super-twisting algorithm (STA) is used to reduce the chattering effect and to improve control accuracy. The second approach combines the super-twisting algorithm with a quasi-barrier function technique. While the super-twisting algorithm (STA) aims at the chattering reduction, the Barrier super-twisting algorithm (BSTA) aims to eliminate this phenomenon by providing continuous output control signals. The BSTA is designed to prevent the STA gain from being over-estimated by making these gains to decrease and increase according to system’s uncertainties. Stability and finite-time convergence are guaranteed using Lyapunov’s theory. In addition, the two controlled variables, rotor speed, and rotor flux modulus are estimated based on the second-order sliding mode (SOSM) observer. Finally, simulations are carried out to compare the performance and robustness of two control algorithms without adding the equivalent control. Tests are achieved under external load torque, varying reference speed, and parameter variations.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of testing the bearing resistance of the bolted joints of thin-walled profiles used in modular construction. The two types of joints currently applied in the construction industry were subjected to tests. One of them served as the reference sample, and the other as the research sample, which was used to find a solution that is more favorable in terms of the complexity of its production process and its bearing resistance. In addition to the modified shape of the end-plates, the bearing resistance of the joint was also analyzed with regards to the different diameters of bolts (bolts M12 and M16 were used), their classes (the difference between bolts of class 8.8 and 10.9 was examined), and also the number of them in the joint (3 or 5 bolts). Moreover, two thicknesses of steel sheets (3 mm and 4 mm), from which thin-walled cold-bent profiles were made, were used in the research. The bearing resistance tests were carried out with the use of a testing press of the authors’ own design. On the basis of the measurements, plots of the dependence between the deflection of the samples and the force acting in the middle of their span were drawn. It was shown that the tested profile joint had an increased bearing resistance by up to 26% when compared to the reference sample. The maximum destructive bending moment M was equal to 10.7 kN·m for the reference sample, and to 13.5 kN·m for the analyzed design solution. In total, 6 types of modified joints were made for the tests, of which five showed a comparable or higher bearing resistance than the reference sample. Each type of joint was tested by bending it in two directions in relation to the central axis of its cross-section.

Abstract

What major reflection does Dostoevsky’s work impel, when it refrains from pondering great metaphysical ideas? It invites us to consider the mystery of the human being and the impossibility of providing an ultimate explanation of this enigma. It also shows us that delving into the human psyche and judging it is an ambivalent and risky act against which human self defends itself. In this consistent evasion of cognitive and interpretive closure, it finds a mighty ally in the artistic language of the Russian novelist. Dostoevsky’s psychological and philosophical idea of the individual finds its distinct reflection in the poetics of his works. This paper explores and explains this relation by way of an analysis of Dostoevsky’s lesser known story – The Eternal Husband.

Abstract

Analiza badawcza periodyka „Duchowość w P olsce” pod kątem zawartych w nim aktualnych nurtów i perspektyw teologii duchowości w P olsce pozwoliła na wyciągnięcie następujących wniosków. Teologia duchowości, stanowiąca samodzielną uporządkowaną metodologicznie dyscyplinę naukową, ma duże znaczenie dla teologii, zwłaszcza gdy idzie o połączenie spekulatywnej i przeżyciowej strony życia duchowego człowieka. Ponadto skupia wokół siebie wiele wymiarów duchowości i dziedzin pokrewnych. Stanowi fundament dla duchowości kapłańskiej, małżeńskiej, zakonnej, laikatu. Jest punktem odniesienia dla mistyki, antropologii czy historii duchowości. Z tego też względu wymaga nieustannego doprecyzowywania metodologii nauk. Wśród aktualnych jej nurtów i perspektyw należy wymienić: personalistyczno-chrystologiczną koncepcję duchowości Jana Pawła II , stanowiącej paradygmat teologii duchowości w P olsce, oraz nurt chrystoformiczno-eklezjalny w służbie formacji do kapłaństwa i życia konsekrowanego. Do perspektyw natomiast należy udział teologii duchowości we właściwym sprecyzowaniu duchowości zrzeszeń chrześcijańskich i ruchów charyzmatycznych oraz ich miejsca i znaczenia we wspólnocie Kościoła.
