Monitoring the Activity of Industrial Facilities Using Satellite Images of the Heat IR Range

The results of the development and testing of the methodology for automated processing of satellite images of medium spatial resolution in the heat and short-wave IR range are presented. For the specified test areas, digital maps of the Earth’s surface temperature were obtained for the territories where oil refineries and chemical plants are concentrated. A comparative analysis of the results of automated recognition of heat radiation sources showed a fairly high degree of correlation between the results of processing images of the heat IR range and the results of processing images of the short-wave IR range. We also compared the results of automated recognition of heat radiation sources based on images of the same territory taken from different satellites at different times. The results of testing the proposed methodology confirmed the possibility and high efficiency of using night images from the Terra satellite (ASTER survey instrument) and from the Landsat-8 satellite (TIRS survey instrument) to monitor the production activity of large industrial facilities that are sources of heat radiation. #CSOC1120 © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG

Microgrid energy management and monitoring systems: A comprehensive review

Microgrid (MG) technologies offer users attractive characteristics such as enhanced power quality, stability, sustainability, and environmentally friendly energy through a control and Energy Management System (EMS). Microgrids are enabled by integrating such distributed energy sources into the utility grid. The microgrid concept is proposed to create a self-contained system composed of distributed energy resources capable of operating in an isolated mode during grid disruptions. With the Internet of Things (IoT) daily technological advancements and updates, intelligent microgrids, the critical components of the future smart grid, are integrating an increasing number of IoT architectures and technologies for applications aimed at developing, controlling, monitoring, and protecting microgrids. Microgrids are composed of various distributed generators (DG), which may include renewable and non-renewable energy sources. As a result, a proper control strategy and monitoring system must guarantee that MG power is transferred efficiently to sensitive loads and the primary grid. This paper evaluates MG control strategies in detail and classifies them according to their level of protection, energy conversion, integration, benefits, and drawbacks. This paper also shows the role of the IoT and monitoring systems for energy management and data analysis in the microgrid. Additionally, this analysis highlights numerous elements, obstacles, and issues regarding the long-term development of MG control technologies in next-generation intelligent grid applications. This paper can be used as a reference for all new microgrid energy management and monitoring research

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider at the HL-LHC

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LHeC will open a new chapter of nuclear particle physics by extending the accessible kinematic range of lepton-nucleus scattering by several orders of magnitude. Due to its enhanced luminosity and large energy and the cleanliness of the final hadronic states, the LHeC has a strong Higgs physics programme and its own discovery potential for new physics. Building on the 2012 CDR, this report contains a detailed updated design for the energy-recovery electron linac (ERL), including a new lattice, magnet and superconducting radio-frequency technology, and further components. Challenges of energy recovery are described, and the lower-energy, high-current, three-turn ERL facility, PERLE at Orsay, is presented, which uses the LHeC characteristics serving as a development facility for the design and operation of the LHeC. An updated detector design is presented corresponding to the acceptance, resolution, and calibration goals that arise from the Higgs and parton-density-function physics programmes. This paper also presents novel results for the Future Circular Collider in electron-hadron (FCC-eh) mode, which utilises the same ERL technology to further extend the reach of DIS to even higher centre-of-mass energies.Peer reviewe

Double Loop Control of Linear Dynamical Systems and an Algorithm for Adjustment of the Typical Controllers Using the Nonparametric Model of a Llinear Dynamical System

Текст статьи не публикуется в открытом доступе в соответствии с политикой журнала.The paper considers the double loop control of a linear dynamic system based on a nonparametric model. The process of constructing a controller is presented. At the first stage, the nonparametric model of a macro-object is constructed. At the second stage, a nonparametric controller is constructed. The double loop control scheme preserves analogue devices of local automatic equipment to ensure reliability even in the case of a failure of digital devices. It is proposed an approach to the synthesis of a nonparametric controller for a linear dynamic system of an unknown order when information about a control object is presented in the form of realization of transition functions containing disturbance. The algorithm for the realization of the inverse function for a linear dynamic system is given. An original approach to standard controller parameters adjustment using a nonparametric model of a linear dynamical system is proposed

Fast algorithm of planning a robot's path in 2-dimensional space on the basis of triangulation

This article describes an approach to solution of a problem of planning a mobile robot's path in 2-dimentional space with obstacles. It gives the problem statement, which implies that there is no prior information about surrounding environment. It is supposed that the robot gathers real-time information via on-board sensors. The article also presents a theoretical analysis of such approach performance, along with comparison of the proposed approach to the existing ones, and demonstration of the suggested one's advantages.

Quality assessment method for design solutions of automobile service station

The continuous growth of the motorization level of the society and the dynamically changing vehicle and automobile service markets require appropriate development of the transport and automobile service infrastructure. The drastic changes in the vehicle design produce additional or new requirements to the infrastructure intended for the maintenance, service, repair and parking of vehicles. In accordance with these requirements the existing structures are retrofitted and new ones are designed and built in line with the already developed and approved designs. Due to requirements to the infrastructure and numbers of factors to be taken into consideration, the design, as a rule, have different solutions. Decision making involves several steps: formulation of a set of variants, search and selection of the preferable variant among the variants set. But this search is limited by time and computers capacities so the chosen variant is not always the optimal or rational one. The search procedure has become more complicated by parameters and requirements expressed qualitatively. The quality assessment method for the design solutions allows to reduce the search area, and thus to scan considerably greater numbers of variants and to find the best solution. This paper represents a multi-attribute method that allows to assess the quality of design solutions for automobile service station layout and to choose the best solution out of the suggested set
