The paper dwells on the psychological and pedagogical conditions of implementing learner-centered approach in teaching foreign language to engineering students at the Tomsk Polytechnic University. The concept of learner-centered approach in teaching foreign language was in detail pedagogically, psychologically and methodologically studied, foreign language teaching regulatory documents in the technical university were analyzed, teaching methods and learning outcomes in accordance with the existing English language teaching methodology were presented, results of the engineering students’ questionnairing and key techniques to improve teaching foreign language based on the learner-centered approach were proposed
In the paper operating mode simulation of a hydro-generator with armature winding taps, running under standalone load with thyristor auto ballast stabilization system of magnitude and frequency of the output voltage of a hydraulic unit has been conducted. The created model enabled to investigate steady-state operation of the plant when connecting ballast load to various winding taps of the hydraulic generator subject to power change of the plant workload. Stabilization of the magnitude and phase of hydro-generator equivalent load as well as the distortion degree of output voltage for each stage of ballast have been evaluated. Ballast stage control algorithm and control laws of gate switching angles of ballast regulator have been proposed. Studies were undertaken within the scope of the RFBR grant entitled “Research and development of micro hydro power plant control systems for the power supply of standalone consumers”.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
