Aiming at this problem, a feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy, which learned unknown modeling error by using previous control information repeatedly, was introduced into Smith prediction monitoring AGC system. Firstly, conventional Smith predictor and improved Smith predictor with PI-P controller were analyzed. Secondly, on the basis of establishing of feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy for improved Smith predictor, process control signal update law and control error were deduced, then convergence condition of this strategy was put forward and proved. Finally, after modeling the automatic position control system, the PI-P Smith prediction monitoring AGC system with feedback-assisted iterative learning control was researched through simulation. Simulation results indicate that this system remains stable during model mismatching. The robustness and response of monitoring AGC is improved by development of feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy for PI-P Smith predictor.展开更多

In the scheme,an embedded microprocessor( LPC3250 from NXP) is chosen as the CPU of the embedded server with a linux operation system( OS) environment. The embedded server provides multiple interfaces for supporting various application scenarios. The whole network is based on local area network and adopts the Browser / Server( B / S) model. The monitoring and control node is as a browser endpoint and the remote node with an embedded server is as a server endpoint. Users can easily acquire various sensors information through writing Internet protocol address of remote node on the computer browser. Compared with client / server( C / S) mode,B / S model needs less maintain and can be applicable to large user group. In addition,a simple network management protocol( SNMP) is used for management of devices in Internet protocol( IP) networks. The results of the demonstration experiment show that the proposed system gives good support to manage the network from different user terminals and allows the users to better interact with the ambient environment.展开更多

The review focuses on bridge and building structures using vibration-based techniques. Structural monitoring systems in Japan historically started with the objective of evaluating structural responses against extreme events. In the development of structural monitoring, monitoring systems and collected data were used to verify design assumptions, update speci cations, and facilitate the ef cacy of vibration control systems. Strategies and case studies on monitoring for the design veri cation of long-span bridges and tall buildings, the performance of seismic isolation systems in building and bridges, the veri cation of structural retro t, the veri cation of structural control systems (passive, semi-active, and active), structural assessment, and damage detec- tion are described. More recently, the application of monitoring systems has been extended to facilitate ef cient operation and effective maintenance through the rationalization of risk and asset management using monitoring data. This paper also summarizes the lessons learned and feedback obtained from case studies on the structural monitoring of bridges and buildings in Japan.展开更多

文摘Mine dust is one of the main hazards in underground longwall mines worldwide.In order to solve the mine dust problem,a significant number of studies have been carried out regarding longwall mine dust control,both in China and Australia.This paper presents a comparative study of dust control practices in Chinese and Australian longwall mines,with particular references to statutory limits,dust monitoring methods and dust management practices,followed by a brief discussion on the research status of longwall mine dust control in both countries.The study shows that water infusion,face ventilation controls,water sprays,and deep and wet cutting in longwall shearer operations are commonly practiced in almost all underground longwall mines and that both Chinese and Australian longwall mine dust control practices have their own advantages and disadvantages.It is concluded that there is a need for further development and innovative design of more effective dust mitigation products or systems despite the development of various dust control technologies.Based on the examinations and discussions,the authors have made some recommendations for further research and development in dust control in longwall mines.It is hoped that this comparative study will provide beneficial guidance for scholars and engineers who are engaging in longwall mine dust control research and practice.
文摘The energy management system(EMS),which acts as the heart of the energy management center of a steel enterprise,is a large computer system focused on the concentrative monitor and control of the production and utilization of energy.Although Chinese steel industry was well developed in the latest decade, so far the levels of the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel among Chinese steel enterprises are remarkably distinct,and the average value of the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel of them has still been much higher than the value of those in developed countries.This bad situation,in the opinion of the author,partially results from the poor ability for most Chinese steel enterprises to manage the production and utilization of energy.National policies associated to energy-saving and ejection-decreasing call for steel enterprises to build the EMS;and more and more steel enterprises themselves also desire to achieve EMS projects so that they can optimize their energy production and utilization.Baosteel,the largest and most advanced steel enterprise in China,has got plenty of experience in the EMS due to its incessant practice for more than 30 years in the design,construction,application,and revampment of its EMS.In the present article,the features of an advanced EMS is described and discussed based on the design practice of the EMS of Baosteel Zhanjiang Project.An advanced EMS should be an optimized and integrated system,which possesses of the characteristic of high managing efficiency,enough openness in expansion,friendly interfaces, and simple structure.Furthermore,it could support many-sided applications,e.g.,energy related data mineing,energy network combination and co-supply,application of geographic information technology,and other technical researched on energy-saving aspects.It is known that some energy-related indexes of Baosteel have stood on a high level better than those of some worldwide famous steel enterprises.Moreover,it goes without saying that the indexes of Baosteel Zhanjiang will be better than those of present Baosteel.Therefore, one can easily expect that the new EMS of Baosteel Zhanjiang will be much more advanced,which will be more helpful to fulfil systematiclly saving of energy,to elevate the efficiency of energy utilization,to lower the comprehensive energy consumption per ton steel.
