ELECTRICAL POWER ENGINEERING
The paper considers efficiency pertaining to parameter compensation of electric power line, higher efficiency of longitudinal compensation owing to controlled shunt reactors.
The paper studies a cascade control synthesis for a two-mass electromechanical object. A cascade synthesis allows to determine a quick action of an electric drive speed regulation loop which is necessary for control of the specified mechanical part. A small parameter method is used in the paper. Calculative expressions for relations of loop frequency characteristics have been obtained in the paper. The paper presents a calculative example with the results of the system mathematical simulation.
A synthesized system is characterized by robustness because variations in object parameters are acceptable if conditions of the system accessory to the given sets are observed.
The proposed method can be applied if an own frequency of elastic vibrations is not very large in comparison with the characteristic frequency of the synthesized system.
НEAT POWER ENGINEERING
The paper proposes a mathematical model of the equipment unit reliability with due account of operational mode effect and main influencing factors.
Its application contributes to reduction of operating costs, optimization of overhaul periods, prolongation of life-service and rational usage of fleet resource.
An analytical method for optimization of water-heating boiler loads has been developed on the basis of approximated semi-empirical dependences pertaining to changes of boiler gross efficiency due to its load. A complex (∂tух/∂ξ)Δξ is determined on the basis of a systematic analysis (monitoring) of experimental data and the Y. P. Pecker’s formula for calculation of balance losses q2. This complex makes it possible to set a corresponding correction to a standard value of the boiler gross efficiency due to contamination of heating surfaces.
Software means for optimization of water-heating boilers has been developed and it is recommended to be applied under operational conditions.
HYDRAULIC POWER ENGINEERING
The paper describes hydraulic tests of discharge capacity and pool conjunction in respect of dam spillway of the Grodno hydroelectric station. The process of ice passage through the spillway dam has been studied in the paper. The paper contains recommendations on safety depth downstream.
