Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aplicação de uma metodologia de lógica fuzzy à gestão de estoques: um estudo de caso em uma instituição pública(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-03-01) SANTOS, Gilbert Queiroz dos; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This paper presents a proposal for implementing a fuzzy logic approach to inventory management on a public institution of the federal administration, located in Manaus-AM. Initially, a review of the literature on logistics and supply management, was made. After that were discussed issues relating to inventory management. Then, we discussed issues related to the fuzzy logic. The proposed methodology will allow a better control over inventory, since it will replace traditional quantitative methods of inventory management. The data were collected directly from the warehouse of the institution under study, and refer to the movement of stock of a particular item during the year 2009. The use of fuzzy logic has attracted increasingly more attention from researchers in different areas of knowledge, being, however, that the great challenge posed to them is the modeling of the data collected, due to its computational support needed application. The interaction with the observed values, operated by the rules of fuzzy logic allows a better control of stock in a warehouse, such as service, parts and tender, since it deals with uncertainty and subjectivity. The methodology appears to be able to indicate a better performance of the quoted shares, being able to operate on an automated tracking and inventory management.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desenvolvimento de framework para análise e simulação dinâmica de sistemas elétricos de potência(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-01-18) SENA, José Adolfo da Silva; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This thesis presents a flexible Object Oriented (OO) methodology for the design and implementation of simulation software system used to perform dynamic studies of large electrical power systems. The proposed OO methodology aims at make easier the development, upgrade and maintenance of complex software systems. The user's requirements are mapped to set base classes which are atomic classes to perform the modeling of the dynamic devices such as electrical generators. In order to evaluate the methodology, a simulation software system was developed using the OO modeling. In order to evaluate the Framework performance, two study cases were carried out. The first one apply the Framework on the modeling and simulation of generation units at Tucuruí Power Plant. The simulation results were comparated to data measurements from field tests and shown the good performance of the Framework on reproducing electromechanical phenomena of this large Power Plant. In the second study, by its turn, the Framework was applied to the modeling of a Photovoltaic (PV) generation system, along with its Maximum Power Tracking (MPPT). The MPPT control was implemented using digital techniques. The simulation results show the good performance of the Framework on modeling the current as well as MPPT control of PV generations systems.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desenvolvimento de um sistema multiconversor para a realização de estudos experimentais em microrredes de corrente contínua(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-08-10) COSTA JUNIOR, Fernando José da; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This paper presents the design and development of a Multiconverter System based on a Microgrid comprised of a DC bus and static power converters DC-DC and DC-AC. This system is located at the Power Systems Control Laboratory (LACSPOT) at Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The Multiconverter System consists in three power converters, two in step-down Buck topology and the third a three-phase inverter. The first converter feeds a direct current voltage controlled bus that provides voltage to a second Buck converter. On the second Buck converter is also applied a voltage control strategy in order to maintain a constant power supply. The three-phase inverter is also powered by a DC bus can be connected to the local power grid, allowing studies with grid-tied systems and distributed generation. To test the buck converter studied in this work, were developed digital controllers, based on indirect digital control design method. Both controllers were developed using the output voltages as feedback signals in order to maintain the voltage and power as constant as possible, on the primary and secondary converters, respectively. Besides inner difficult in systems with parametric uncertainties and nonlinearities shown in power converters, the power converter with voltage control also feeds the second power converter. That introduces non-linear characteristics that may cause bar voltage instability. For that reason, it is necessary to develop a control strategy with the goal of keeping the voltage near to the voltage bus reference. To sum up, several tests were performed both in computer simulation, as in the real system in order to check the effectiveness of control techniques studied and applied. The obtained results shown that the Multiconverter System was able to provide a good performance under the designed control strategy.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desenvolvimento e implementação de estratégias de controle digital para regulação de tensão e amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas em um gerador síncrono de 10kVA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-04-29) MORAES, Anderson Roberto Barbosa de; BARREIROS, José Augusto Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1246564618922453; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This paper presents the development and implementation of control strategies for digital automatic voltage regulation and damping of oscillations in a 10kVA synchronous generator 10kVA located at the Power Systems Control Laboratory (LACSPOT) at Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The design of both controllers is based on the pole placement technique. For the design of the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), it was adopted a first order simplified model for the synchronous machine, whose parameters were obtained experimentally. For the damping controller, also called Power System Stabilizer (PSS), it was used an auto-regressive with exogenous input (ARX) discrete model. This model was estimated by means of parametric identification techniques considering, for this purpose, the motor-generator connected to a larger system. The control laws were embedded in a high-performance microcontroller and, for the measurement of signals used in the controllers, an electronic instrumentation was developed which is based on operational amplifiers for the sensors signal conditioning. The control signal is based on the technique of pulse width modulation (PWM) and controls the average voltage of a DC-DC converter, which is used as an excitation circuit which energizes the field winding of the generator. Moreover, the electric drive of the machines that make up the 10kVA group generator was designed and automated by adding security to operators and components of this generation system. The experimental results demonstrate the good performance achieved by the proposed strategy.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Uma estratégia ativa para detecção de ilhamento em geradores fotovoltaicos por meio de injeção de sinais de teste(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-10-27) CARVALHO, Fransérgio Martins; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608In this paper, is made a study of a active technique for detection of islanding that is proper for application in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System (GCPS). The technique is based on injection of testing signals which affect negative-sequence of voltage after islanding case. Definitions and explanations are presented about power distributing system and about the elements which belong to Distributed Generation (DG). Standards about inverter’s function and about model of photovoltaic cell are presented. Details of islanding concept and its Non-Detection Zone (NDZ) as well as main current techniques for its detection are exhibited. It is shown the sequence-negative technique. Some instrumental applications related to negative-sequence measurement, sinusoidal inverter and PLL are developed. Models are designed to accomplish the injection and measurement of negative-sequence through VSI: controller and filter. Simulations were made to detect islanding under ordinary conditions of GCPS: irradiance variation and shading of photovoltaic cell; and under ordinary conditions of a power distribution system: charging variation and unbalanced charge. At last, the applied method performance is validated and compared.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estratégia de identificação paramétrica aplicada à modelagem fenomenológica de um sistema do tipo correia transportadora industrial para fins de detecção de faltas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-07) MEDEIROS, Renan Landau Paiva de; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Belt conveyor systems are essential for large companies, even though this equipment has a great deal of importance that makes its non-planned stop can generate huge amounts of losses or even the stall of the whole production process. Having this importance in mind it becomes necessary to realize the adequate monitoring of the system and detect with a larger prior notice the occurrence of some fault in the system. In an effort to reduce the unforeseen stop, this dissertation investigates a modeling of a belt conveyor system. At first a phenomenological model of the process is discussed based on the mechanical laws and considering the diverse types of movement opposition force throughout the belt conveyor. The main parameters of a belt conveyor belt where estimated through the non-recursive mean square. In sequence a fault detection algorithm was elaborated using the interval analysis theory, in a way that its possible to detect inadequate operation conditions. With the intent to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm a prototype that emulates the tipical operation of a conveyor belt was designed. The results were obtained experimentally, that confirms the great performance of the proposed methodology.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estratégias de controle de ordem fracionária aplicadas ao amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas em sistemas elétricos de potência(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-08-11) AYRES JÚNIOR, Florindo Antonio de Carvalho; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608In this work, a new project methodology was proposed to tune power systems stabilizers (PSS) based on fractional order systems theory (FOPSS). The strategy is based in a generalization of Lead-Lag compensators type project to fractional order transfer function domain. A new project variable, which defines the controller fractional order, is tuned to obtain a good compromise between the damping fulfillment of dominant electromechanical mode and the FOPSS amplified robustness. FOPSS performance was experimental evaluated, in a small-scalled system, located at Power Systems Laboratory of Federal University of Para. This test plant present a typical structure of synchronous generator connected to infinite bus and exhibits a decreased damping electromechanical dominant mode, whose around 1,2 Hz natural frequency value. So FOPSS was designed to improve relative damp of mode target, for all admissible operation range. For practical intent , first experimental tests was made to identify a plant nominal model in the form of a pulse transfer function, used in FOPSS project. This obtained model was validated and then used both to FOPSS project and conventional PSS (applied to performance comparison). The damp control rules of FOPSS were calculated, and then converted to difference equations, and subsequently, embedded in digital systems based on DSPIC microcontrollers. A couple of impulse test were made under different operational conditions. Respective dynamical responses data of plant output signals (active power deviation) and control effort were saved to analysis purposes. The experimental results showed that FOPSS presented a greater robustness and a similar performance compared to dynamical performance of conventional PSS, for all investigated operation range.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Estudos de geradores distribuídos de grande porte conectados ao sistema elétrico via conversores cc-ca aplicados ao projeto de estabilizadores de sistemas de potência(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-12-16) FONSECA, Maria da Conceição Pereira; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This thesis presents a study to develop linear models suitable for conducting stability studies in interconnected electrical power systems that include large utility-scale inverterconnected power stations. To that end, an extended Heffron-Phillips-type model was developed for a study power system consisting of a utility-scale inverter-connected power source and a synchronous generator, both of which having similar power ratings and being interconnected to a larger power system (infinite bus bar). Due to the presence of the distributed generator and associated current regulating control subsystem, the extended model presents a set of signal channels originating at the current regulation subsystem of the distributed generator and arriving at the torque summing point of the synchronous generator. By performing a large set of computational tests, for a wide range of operating conditions, the relative importance of these new channel gains were assessed. It was found that the gains associated with the direct paths have a predominant influence on the contribution of the distributed generator for both synchronizing as well as damping torques actuating on the synchronous generator shaft. Furthermore, the values of these path gains prove to be negligible when the generation level of the distributed generator is rather reduced. This observation allowed for performing further model simplifications in order to obtain a more suitable model for Power System Stabilizers (PSS) design for such class of power systems. In addition, new formulae are proposed hereby which allow for estimating the values of the synchronizing and damping torque coefficients as a function of the active power generation level of the distributed generator. For the test power system, a PSS damping controller was designed by using the developed simplified model. Subsequent ly, the PSS performance degradation has been investigated for a large set of operating conditions, The results showed considerable PSS performance detuning for those operating conditions corresponding to increased generating level at the distributed generator in comparison to synchronous active power generating level. Supplementary computational tests were performed to evaluate potential adverse interacting effects between the PSS and the proportional and integral (PI) control of a TCSC FACTS device in the area. It was found that moderate values must be chosen in order not to substantially reduce the system stability.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Identificação em malha fechada para controle tolerante a falta passivo aplicado a um sistema industrial de bombeamento hidráulico(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-08-30) ROCHA, Erick Melo; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Fluid pumping systems are part of many industrial applications. From the traditional water supply, to the cooling systems of thermonuclear power plants and the complex aircraft maneuvering system, using pneumatic actuators, we find examples of application of these systems. As any physical system, fluid pumping systems may also be subject to anomalous behaviors or failures that can lead to malfunction or even loss of stability of an entire process. Such faults may cause permanent damage due to the effect of undesirable phenomena such as cavitation and water hammer, for example. Thereby, this work proposes the development of a Fault Tolerant Control System (FTCS) aiming at to mitigate the undesirable effects of pressure oscillation and speed variation that may affect this type of system. This research assumes that, for economic and safety reasons, industrial systems operate by default in closed-loop to ensure stability and desired performance. Therefore, a methodology is introduced to identify the open-loop transfer function of industrial plants, based on data obtained by signal measurement, of the industrial process operating in closed-loop, denominated Two-Stage Method. The identified model is used to design a controller that meets the performance criteria defined by the FTCS instead of the traditional control system, designed for a specific operating point regardless of the fault acting in the system. For experimental evaluation, an industrial fluid pumping bench was used, developed at the Automation and Control Laboratory of Federal University of Pará (UFPA). A passive FTCS was designed using robust control technique based on parametric uncertainties. For that end, it was used a set of uncertain models, obtained by parametric identification, considering a desired operating range for the test plant, with the system operating under both normal and fault conditions. Performance indices were calculated in order to quantitatively evaluate the performance of the FTCS monitored system, with the results obtained for the system operating without the FTCS (using classical controller). The results show the good performance of the proposed methodology.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Implementação e testes de campo de um ESP digital(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-05-18) GOMES, Marcus Ciro Martins; BARREIROS, José Augusto Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1246564618922453; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This work presents the development and implementation as well as the results of field tests of a power system stabilizer (PSS) designed with digital control method for damping electromechanical modes of oscillation observed for signs of electrical power measured in a generating unit of 350 MVA of Tucuruí power plant. It is presented and applied the methodology of identifying linear parametric models such as auto regressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) for estimation of models with the ability to capture the relevant information (natural frequency and damping) of dominant electromechanical modes of the system. In possession of ARX parametric model is done then the synthesis of digital damper control law for the ESP, using the technique of pole displacement of the closed loop transfer function. For the synthesis of digital control law, we used a canonical structure type RST. For the field tests, the control law digital ESP buffer was coded in C language and embedded in a hardware prototype of which is based on model DSPIC 30F3014 microcontroller, which incorporates a large number of peripherals for data acquisition and communication. In order to evaluate the performance of the digital PSS developed, experimental tests were performed in a generating unit of 350 MVA power house number 1 from Tucuruí power plant. The stabilizer acts carried out by adjusting the reference voltage regulator automatic voltage of the respective generating unit in accordance with the oscillations observed by measuring the electrical power generator stator. The results of field tests showed an excellent performance of ESP digital damping of electromechanical mode of natural frequency of approximately 1.7 Hz, observed in the field trial.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação de estratégias de controle digital para regulação de velocidade e emulação da dinâmica de turbinas hidráulicas, com implementação e testes experimentais em uma micromáquina de 10 KVA(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-04-28) NASCIMENTO FILHO, Paulo Sergio; COSTA JÚNIOR, Carlos Tavares da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6328549183075122; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Due to the study of power systems in real plants as a hydroelectric power plant it’s not common because the risks and costs involving their operation, it is preferred to conduct computational mathematical models of this system solving problems and developing new technologies. However, computer-realized models do not provide the visible, audible and tactile experience that a real physical model can offer. Therefore, in this work, it is presented a description and modeling of a micro-generation system of 10kVA, which is a real physical system, composed of a DC motor, a synchronous generator and transformers, also called micromachine system, which makes part of the infrastructure of the Laboratory of Electrical Engineering at UFPA. For this system, through this work and the Moraes’ work (2011), were developed electronic subsystems and computer drives, automation and control to operate it safely and to support research in control of power systems, as well as the development of academic work. In this same context, it is proposed an emulation technique of the dynamic of a hydraulic turbine controlling by the power applied to DC motor micromachine system, which was developed mainly for the purpose of supporting the study and development of techniques of speed regulation for hydraulic turbines. It also will present a proposal for a digital speed governor for hydraulic turbines based on the canonical structure RST digital control, whose parameters are designed by two techniques studied in this work. And to prove the effectiveness of tools for hardware, software and theory developed in this work, results of experiments performed at the micromachine system will be presented and analyzed.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação de estratégias de controle robusto multivariável descentralizado aplicadas à melhoria do desempenho de um conversor de potência CC/CC do tipo buck com estrutura single inductor multiple output(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-02-05) MEDEIROS, Renan Landau Paiva de; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608The DC/DC power converter systems are important devices to use in several applications in many sectors of the society. For this reason, several DC/DC converter topologies are developed to improve the performance of devices, aiming at reducing losses and improving the converter energy quality. However, such improvements should assess the control strategies that enable the correct functioning of the power converters. This works covers experimental assessment of the design of robust decentralized multivariable controller applied to a specific topology of the multivariable step-down power converter, where a single inductor element is shared by multiples outputs. Furthermore, it is important to ensure the system stability, as well as the multiple outputs regulations, however some difficulties remains, e.g., hard coupling between system’s outputs, non-linearities due to the inductive element and uncertainties due to imprecision of mathematical models and/or variation of nominal values of the discrete elements that compose the DC/DC converter. Aiming to assess the performance of the proposed design methodology for a multivariable robust controller, to perform experiments of parametric variations on the DC/DC power converter, it is developed several experimental tests and simulations using the Matlab. The results show the improved performance of the proposed methodology.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação e desenvolvimento de um framework para testes de estratégias de controle automático visando melhoria de desempenho em servidores web apache(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-08-29) BARRETO, Marcos Vinicius Sadala; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608In this work, a study is carried out for the computational development of automatic control tests in computer response systems to “HTTP” “Apache” request. In particular, the implementation details and results in an environment for digital performance control of the HTTP response system are discussed. Thus, it was necessary to design and develop an environment for performing data collection in the computational system that provides the response service to “HTTP” requests and makes interventions in the values of the available parameters in order to control the system automatically in closed loop. The parameter to be obtained as endogenous variable of the computational system is MaxRequestWorks, and the exogenous one will be the amount of memory consumed. The tool developed modifies neither the source code of the response software to the clients’ “HTTP” requests nor the operating system code of the host computer, being non-intrusive regarding original system configuration. A proportional-integral (PI) controller was designed in order to keep the average perceived time response of “HTTP” messages regulated. Experimental tests carried out on an Apache server show the improvement obtained on the system's time response.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação experimental de estratégias de controle robusto aplicadas à melhoria de desempenho de um conversor de potência CC/CC do tipo buck com estrutura Single Inductor Multiple Output(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-05) MONTAÑO SAAVEDRA, Alvaro Christian; MEDEIROS, Renan Landau Paiva de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8081923559538095; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Recently, DC/DC power converters have gained wide attention, especially in industry,telecommunications, and the control of renewable energy sources. The increase in the use of this technology can be explained by the growing demand for high-quality DC voltage regulation in various applications. Additionally, recent advances in power electronics along with control engineering have accelerated the development of DC/DC power converters. Therefore, they looked to optimize these converters in several ways, such as improving conversion efficiency and reducing their weight and cost. In the proposed work, control strategies for voltage regulation in a single-inductor, dualoutput Buck DC-DC converter system (SIDO) are investigated. Based on a nominal multiple-input, multiple-output plant model and performance requirements, both a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and a Decoupled PI control strategy are designed to control the power converter system under parametric uncertainties such as variation of the voltage source, variations of constant power loads (CPLs) and variations of load resistances. A prototype of a single inductor dual output DC-DC Buck converter was developed for experimental testing. The results indicate that the proposed LQR strategy approach is reasonable and provides adequate performance improvements in SIDO converter controllers under conditions of varying voltage source and varying load resistances, offering robust performance and system stability; however, more research is needed to address variations in constant power loads and in the design of a PI controller for its application in this kind of system.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Investigação experimental de estratégias de identificação e controle LPV aplicadas ao amortecimento de oscilações eletromecânicas em sistemas elétricos de potência(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-06-29) NOGUEIRA, Fabrício Gonzalez; BARREIROS, José Augusto Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1246564618922453; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608In this thesis is performed an experimental investigation of the performance of a LPV (linear parameter varying) control strategy applied to damp electromechanical oscillations in electric power systems. The study was performed in a 10kVA electric power system, which is configured as a single machine connected to an infinite bus. Furthermore, were also performed field tests on a generating unit of Tucurui Hydroelectric Power Plant. Firstly, a set of routines for the analysis and synthesis of LPV damping controllers were developed and tested computationally, along with routines for the identification of LPV models of the plant. The coefficients of the LPV damping controller, in this case a power system stabilizer (PSS), depends on the value of a variable representative of the system operating condition (scheduling parameter), which in this study, were the terminal active power (P) and reactive power (Q) of the generating unit. For control ends, the dynamics of the plant was represented by an ARX LPV model, which was estimated from experimental data collected in the plant for a wide range of operating conditions. From the LPV model of the plant, the values of the parameters of the LPV controller were determined via an optimization problem, in the form of a parameterized LMI (PLMI). The solution of PLMI is obtained from a relaxation via sum-of-squares decomposition. The LPV PSS was designed to ensure stability and performance for a wide range of operating conditions of the plant, which is generally not possible to obtain with conventional fixed parameter controllers. The LPV PSS control law was implemented in an embedded system based on a digital signal controller. The experimental results showed an excellent performance of the LPV PSS on the damping of the electromechanical oscillations both in the 10kVA electric microgenerator system, and in the Tucurui generating unit.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Metodologia baseada em sistema fuzzy intervalar do tipo-2 para detecção e identificação de faltas de incipientes em motores de indução(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-02-27) ROCHA, Erick Melo; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Since the incorporation of automation in the production processes, aiming at order to improve productivity and quality of products and services, researches on more efficient methodologies for fault diagnosis became more intensive. Such techniques allow the early detection of faults, before then lead to failures. This work investigates techniques for detection and diagnosis of faults and its application to induction motors, limiting their study to two situations, namely: system free of faults and system under incipient partial short-circuit in the coils the stator winding. For faults detection, parametric analysis of fist order ARX (autoregressive with exogenous input) were applied. The parameters of identified ARX modes, which bring information about the dynamics of the dominant system, are recursively obtained by the techniques of recursive least squares (RLS). In order to evaluate the capability for early fault detection, a type-2 interval fuzzy system was developed. This kind of fuzzy system has capability to capture a larger set of uncertainties than conventional (type-1) fuzzy systems. The footprint of uncertainty (FOU), characteristic of type-2 fuzzy system, is a way to accounts for uncertainties coming from noise and numerical errors from the process of parameter estimation. The ARX model parameters are the inputs to the supervisor system. Genetic algorithms (GA’s) were used for optimization of SIF interval type-2, aiming at to reduce the diagnostic error. The results obtained in tests of computer simulation show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Modelagem e controle robusto paramétrico aplicados a sistemas driven-right-leg para rejeição de ruídos em amplificadores biopotenciais.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-30) GOMES, Alan Sovano; FONSECA, Maria da Conceição Pereira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3496755183083633; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608The Driven-Right-Leg (DRL) system is widely applied to mitigate the effects of common mode voltage in biopotential amplifiers. It works as a closed-loop controller, whose objective is to reject disturbances caused by the capacitive coupling of the human body with the power line. In this work, the DRL system is evaluated from a robust parametric control point of view, with the intention of doing a more complete evaluation than the one found in the literature, measuring gain, phase and module extremal margins. The range of interval parametric variations, found in the literature, were used to describe the parametric uncertainties that disturb the studied system. Furthermore, a Lead-Lag controller was designed based on the model under parametric variation obtained, showing how both the analysis and synthesis of DRL controllers can be done with the presented theory. The results obtained were discussed in comparison with the DRL systems found in the specialized literature.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Performance evaluation of robust parametric control strategies applied on suppression of oscillations effects due to constant power loads in multi-converter buck-buck systems(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-06-11) MARCILLO, Kevin Eduardo Lucas; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Multi-converter electronic systems are becoming widely used in many industrial applications; therefore, the stability of the cascaded system is a big concern to real-world power supplies applications. Instability in cascaded systems may occur due to the constant power load (CPL), which is a behavior of the tightly regulated converters. CPLs exhibit incremental negative resistance behavior causing a high risk of instability in interconnected converters; therefore, the mitigation of this problem is an important issue in the multiple-stage switched mode power supply design. Thus, it is important to guarantee stability of the whole system. However, some difficulties remains besides the CPL, e.g., non-linearities due to the inductive element and uncertainties due to imprecision of mathematical models and/or variation of nominal values of the discrete elements that compose the DC/DC buck converter. Aiming to evaluate the performance of the proposed robust methodologies in this work to mitigate the instability problem caused by a CPL, several tests were developed by using an experimental plant and Matlab/Simulink, when the multi-converter buck-buck system is subjected a variation of power reference. The results show the improved performance of the proposed methodologies.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Projeto de controlador baseado em inequações matriciais lineares aplicado a um sistema multiconversor sujeito à incertezas paramétricas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-23) SILVA JUNIOR, Carlos Roozenbergh Porto da; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608Conversion systems are critically important devices in electrical systems across various environments, especially in modern times, as multiple components with different voltage levels and sources are interconnected within a single system. Consequently, dynamic study methods of this network are examined using approaches that simplify the network based on speed modes and switching of other conversion systems, wherein fast systems are simplified to constant power loads (CPL). This method evaluates the network’s stability conditions. The study reveals that CPLs act as negative incremental resistances, and when analyzed through a linear model, it is observed that such loads reduce system damping, thereby decreasing stability margins and potentially rendering the system unstable. Additionally, uncertainties in the physical components of the circuit further affect the stability and performance of microgrids. Hence, designing regulators to mitigate oscillations caused by these effects becomes crucial to ensure the proper performance of these systems.In this work, a robust controller is designed to handle uncertainties and attenuate oscillations in the presence of constant power loads. This controller is implemented in a microgrid composed of two cascaded DC-DC buck converters, one of which is modeled as a CPL. The system model is utilized for both stability analysis and robust controller design in state space, where the compensator synthesis is structured in the form of a linear matrix inequality, solved using system optimization tools. The controller’s results are compared with another controller based on pole placement in both linear and nonlinear switched models, within the Matlab/Simulink simulation platform. Transient response and control signals are evaluated graphically and through performance indices under various operating conditions, including load disturbances and system parameter variations.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Projeto de um controlador amortecedor robusto aplicado a um sistema de potência sujeito a incertezas paramétricas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-16) CUNHA, Leiliane Borges; BARRA JUNIOR, Walter; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0492699174212608This work presents the design of a Stabilizer for the damping of the electromechanical oscillations in electric power systems using robust control technical based on affine parametric uncertainties. These systems are represented by models that have uncertainties in yours parameters, relating to changes in operating conditions. The project methodology is structured to provide a stabilizer that provides the maximum damping to the system, specified by a polytope of characteristic polynomials. For this, it is used poles robust allocation techniques and Chebyshev's theorem, integrated into the solution of linear programming techniques, for the controller design. This technique allows incorporating restrictions on system performance, corresponding to the uncertainties present in the system, making the controller design more robust. Comparisons of the robust controller with a classic controller are made in order to evaluate the results and validate the advantages of the use of controllers designed by the technique proposal. The results and comparisons are performed in simulation environments using MATLAB / SIMULINK software, which allows to model and simulate all kinds of dynamic systems.
