Robust control of speed and temperature in a power plant gas turbineISA Interchange
In this paper, an H∞ robust controller has been designed for an identified model of MONTAZER GHAEM power plant gas turbine (GE9001E). In design phase, a linear model (ARX model) which is obtained using real data has been applied. Since the turbine has been used in a combined cycle power plant, its speed and also the exhaust gas temperature should be adjusted simultaneously by controlling fuel signals and compressor inlet guide vane (IGV) position. Considering the limitations on the system inputs, the aim of the control is to maintain the turbine speed and the exhaust gas temperature within desired interval under uncertainties and load demand disturbances. Simulation results of applying the proposed robust controller on the nonlinear model of the system (NARX model), fairly fulfilled the predefined aims. Simulations also show the improvement in the performance compared to MPC and PID controllers for the same conditions.

Objective
The objective of this lab exercise is to gain practical knowledge of the Brayton cycle. The Brayton cycle illustrates the cold-air-standard assumption (constant specific heats at room temperature) model of a gas turbine power cycle. A portable propulsion laboratory[footnoteRef:1] containing a Model SR-30 turbojet is used in this exercise. The student shall apply the basic equations for Brayton cycle analysis by using empirical measurements at different points in the Brayton cycle. [1: Manufactured by Turbine Technologies Ltd. Called TTL Mini-Lab]
Figure 1: TTL Mini-Lab manufactured by Turbine Technologies Ltd. (TTL)Background
A simple gas turbine engine has three main components: a compressor section, a combustion chamber and a turbine section. Basic operation entails drawing atmospheric air into the compressor where it is heated through compression. The compressed and heated air is mixed with fuel in the combustion chamber. The air/fuel mixture burns at constant pressure in the combustion chamber. The resulting hot gas is directed to the turbine section where it expands. As the gas expands it produces a thrust reaction and performs work by turning the turbine. The turbine is connected to the compressor by a shaft. The resulting shaft work is used to drive the compressor and auxiliary power supplies.
The gas turbine has wide spread application. Most notably, it is used to power and propel aircraft and large ships. In some cases only the thrust resulting from the expanding gas exiting the turbine is used for propulsion and the shaft work is used to drive the compressor and power electrical systems. In turbo-fan engines some of the shaft work is used to drive a large fan that aids in propulsion. In other applications, such as helicopters and ships, propulsion is achieved through the shaft work, which is used to drive transmission/gear boxes that are connected to the rotor blades or propeller, respectively. Gas turbines are also commonly used to drive large electrical generators in power plant applications.Theory
The Brayton cycle consists of four basic processes (see Figure3 & 4). Low-pressure air is drawn into the compressor section and undergoes isentropic compression. Next, the heated and compressed air is combined with fuel in the combustion chamber. The air/fuel mixture experiences reversible constant pressure heat addition. The resulting hot gas enters the turbine section where it undergoes isentropic expansion. To complete the cycle (the exhaust and intake in the open cycle) the gas experiences reversible constant pressure heat rejection.
Thermodynamics and the First Law of Thermodynamics determine the overall energy transfer. The following assumptions are used when analyzing the gas turbine cycles:
1. The working fluid (air) is an ideal gas throughout the cycle.
2. The combust ...
The document discusses different types of aircraft propulsion systems including turbojets, turbofans, turboprops, and turboshafts. It explains that turbojets are commonly used for supersonic flight but have poor propulsive efficiency at subsonic speeds. Turbofans address this issue by using a fan to draw additional bypass air around the core, improving propulsive efficiency. Key parameters that impact engine performance like bypass ratio, pressure ratio, and turbine inlet temperature are also summarized. Advanced engines trend toward higher bypass ratios and pressure ratios as well as higher turbine inlet temperatures.

An experimental investigation of engine coolant temperature on exhaust emissi...IAEME Publication
This document presents an experimental study on the effect of engine coolant temperature on exhaust emissions of a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke spark ignition engine. The study found that raising the coolant temperature in the engine block reduced hydrocarbon emissions, while lowering the coolant temperature in the cylinder head reduced nitrogen oxide emissions. Testing over coolant temperatures of 45-85°C and engine speeds of 1500-2400 rpm showed decreasing trends in hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions at higher coolant temperatures and engine loads. The results indicate that exhaust emissions are dependent on engine coolant temperature, with optimal temperatures existing for reducing different pollutants.

This document describes an experimental investigation into the effects of engine coolant temperature on exhaust emissions from a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke spark ignition engine. The experiments varied the engine coolant temperature from 45°C to 85°C at different engine speeds and loads. The results show that raising the coolant temperature decreases hydrocarbon emissions, while lowering the coolant temperature in the cylinder head decreases nitrogen oxide emissions. Both hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides emissions generally decreased as the coolant temperature increased from 75°C to 85°C across different engine loads. The study confirms that exhaust emissions are dependent on engine coolant temperature.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
