This paper considers the mean square consensus problems for second order multi-agent systems with fixed topologies and measurement noises. Two cases were analyzed: 1) undirected networks with fixed topologies; 2) undirected networks with fixed topologies and measurement noises. In order to attenuate the measurement noises, a time-varying consensus gain was introduced in the consensus protocol. Sufficient conditions were derived for all agents to reach consensus in mean square via algebraic graph theory, matrix theory and stochastic analysis approach, by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function. A numerical example was given to verify our theoretical analysis.
For the purpose of grid peak load shifting, chilled water storage has been paid more and more attentions to integrated with air-conditioning system. In this paper, a new air conditioning system with directly chilled water storage is given. With peak-valley Price, cost for power consumption can be saved 15%-20% by coordinated operation between chilled water storage system and air conditioning system. By sensitivity analysis of system economic performance on ratio of peak price to valley price, it is revealed that with much higher ratio of peak price to valley price, not only system economic performance can seldom be improved, but also chilled water storage is restricted for engineering utilization. This paper supplies theory reference for engineering application of chilled water storage technology.
In this paper, the structure and characteristic of CANopen protocol is analyzed, and the implementation in a Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Generation Station (WEHGS) is described in detail, which includes the hardware interface design of CAN controller based on the ARM7 of LPC2292, and the software implementation. Finally, the practice proved that used CANopen in WEHGS is a good way with real time action, more reliability and low cost.
For the development trends and defects of the Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Generation Station (WEHGS), the design of CAN bus distributed network control system based on CANopen protocol is presented. CANopen master characteristics have been analyzed, then the communication implementation of CANopen monitor msater protocol stack, which includes the hardware interface and software design of CAN controller based on the LPC2292, is described. The tested results show that CANopen monitor master meets the requirements of WEHGS.
In power plants and other complex industrial application fields, incomprehensive design can make the system less durable. The fault of the fieldbus, in principle, comes from the physical layer, whose lay-out directly affects the fieldbus’s reliability. This article discusses from four aspects on how to improve the reliability of the physical layer of CAN bus, which include the selection of cables and connectors, the length of the bus and branch lines, the matching method of terminal resistor, and the interface circuit of hardware. Furthermore, the article presents the plan of using H-bridge type matching terminal, which aims at solving signal-reflection problems. Finally, the theory is verified through the application of intelligent electric actuator with the CAN bus.
