Magíster en Ciencias de la Ingeniería, Mención Eléctrica / En la actualidad, el estudio de generación de electricidad por medio del recurso eólico es de gran importancia, por presentarse como solución para disminuir la contaminación ambiental al reemplazar los sistemas eléctricos a base de generación convencional por energía limpia. También, por constituir una vía de desarrollo para la sociedad al comunicarlo con la tecnología del mundo moderno. Sin embargo, debido a las dificultades que existen para realizar investigaciones de energía eólica con generadores reales, es necesario implementar prototipos que sean capaces de emular, aerogeneradores que serán utilizados en el trabajo de laboratorio. En este trabajo, mediante la técnica Hardware in the Loop , se logra en base a datos reales, emular el comportamiento de una turbina eólica en la plataforma de desarrollo Matlab/Simulink a través del sistema embebido que constituye el conversor de potencia en configuración Back-To-Back contenido en la unidad Triphase PM5F60R. Considerando perfiles de viento de distinta variabilidad con distintos valores medios y con un nivel de detalle adecuado de ingeniería, se estudia el desempeño de los sistemas de control correspondientes al aerogenerador, como: Pitch control y el algoritmo MPPT. En los cuáles se efectúan cambios en algunos parámetros importantes que caracterizan a las turbinas eólicas tales como: inercia, radio del aspa, curva aerodinámica, entre otros. Por otro lado, por medio de estrategias de control de corriente, basadas en múltiples controladores resonantes y amortiguamiento activo se logra compensar las resonancias causadas por los filtros LCL, inyectar corrientes con baja distorsión armónica y entregar potencia activa y reactiva variable a la red. Es así que, en este trabajo se identifican principalmente los siguientes aportes: Debido a que los aerogeneradores varían según su capacidad y modelo; mediante la técnica Hardware In The Loop ; se logra la emulación del aerogenerador y evita el uso de un aerogenerador real, otorgando flexibilidad en el diseño del mismo y su control. Así también, las estrategias de control de corriente por medio de controladores resonantes y metodología Active Damping, permite inyección de corriente a la red con baja distorsión armónica. Finalmente, la plataforma experimental implementada logra presentar un escenario cercano a la realidad de un sistema de generación eólica con conexión a la red por medio de un interface de electrónica de potencia. Su importancia radica debido a la validación de los resultados experimentales, en la habilidad para testear cada uno de los componentes que conforman el sistema implementado y realizar futuras investigaciones a cada uno de ellos de manera rigurosa. Así como también, es objeto de integración a otros sistemas, como por ejemplo, al de una micro-red en operación modo isla y modo red por medio de Droop Control.

The main objective of this research is the development of a flexible test-bench for evaluation of hybrid electric powertrain controllers. As a case study, a real-time near-optimal powertrain controller for a series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has been designed and tests. The designed controller, like many other optimal controllers, is based on a simple model. This control-oriented model aims to be as simple as possible in order to minimize the controller computational effort. However, a simple model may not be able to capture the vehicle's dynamics accurately, and the designed controller may fail to deliver the anticipated behavior. Therefore, it is crucial that the controller be tested in a realistic environment. To evaluate the performance of the designed model-based controller, it is first applied to a high-fidelity series HEV model that includes physics-based component models and low-level controllers. After successfully passing this model-in-the-loop test, the controller is programmed into a rapid-prototyping controller unit for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. This type of simulation is mostly intended to consider controller computational resources, as well as the communication issues between the controller and the plant (model solver). As the battery pack is one of the most critical components in a hybrid electric powertrain, the component-in-the-loop simulation setup is used to include a physical battery in the simulations in order to further enhance simulation accuracy. Finally, the driver-in-the-loop setup enables us to receive the inputs from a human driver instead of a fixed drive cycle, which allows us to study the effects of the unpredictable driver behavior. The developed powertrain controller itself is a real-time, drive cycle-independent controller for a series HEV, and is designed using a control-oriented model and Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. Like other proposed controllers in the literature, this controller still requires some information about future driving conditions; however, the amount of information is reduced. Although the controller design procedure is based on a series HEV with NiMH battery as the electric energy storage, the same procedure can be used to obtain the supervisory controller for a series HEV with an ultra-capacitor. By testing the designed optimal controller with the prescribed simulation setups, it is shown that the controller can ensure optimal behavior of the powertrain, as the dominant system behavior is very close to what is being predicted by the control-oriented model. It is also shown that the controller is able to handle small uncertainties in the driver behavior.

Ce travail s'inscrit dans le contexte général des nouvelles générations de Direction Assistée Electrique (DAE ou EPAS en anglais pour Electronic Power Assistance Steering), dont l'objectif est de tenir compte des caractéristiques des conducteurs à mobilité réduite. En effet, à ce jour, il n'existe pas de système de direction assistée adapté aux capacités articulaires (rhumatismes divers), musculaires (diminution de force, sénescence), ou encore aux douleurs ressenties par le conducteur, ce qui constitue une insuffisance dès lors que l'on s'intéresse à de telles populations. Le principal objectif de cette thèse est donc de proposer une méthodologie générale permettant d'adapter une DAE standard aux conducteurs à mobilité réduite. La méthodologie proposée a été validé sur une plateforme de type Hardware-In the Loop et les résultats expérimentaux obtenus mettent bien en évidence l'intérêt de la démarche proposée. Ils représentent également un point de départ pour l'implantation de l'aide envisagée sur un véhicule réel et jettent les bases pour l'application de la méthodologie à une large classe de patients affectés par des pathologies différentes.

The works were conducted in the "ex situ" biological collection of Anacardium humile A. St.-Hil. and in the laboratory of genetics and molecular biology, both at the Universidade Federal de Goiás – Regional Jataí. For the first study, flowering characteristics of the accessions of the collection were evaluated. The results were submitted to the descriptive and multivariate analysis of the genetic diversity. For the second and third study, physical and chemical characteristics of cashew apples and cashew nuts (from 5 to 15 per access) were evaluated. In the second, the results were submitted to the descriptive analysis for each access and Pearson correlation among the variables measured. In the third, besides the descriptive analysis for the variables, the results were submitted to the multivariate analysis. Diversity was observed with bases on the attributes of flowering and fruiting, where the UPGMA dendrogram and Tocher method were efficient to demonstrate this diversity. The accessions from Serranópolis presented high values of number of flowers and percentage of flowering acess.

This master thesis is a part of a research project where Luleå University of Technology (LTU) collaborates with University of Oulu, SINTEF Narvik and Oulu University of Applied Sciences. The goal with the research project is to develop a Nordic platform for development of autonomous, environmental friendly and energy efficient heavy vehicles in the forest, harbor and mining industry. The purpose with the master thesis is to assist LTU in their role in the research project. The Nordic platform was positioned in the product development process, with the result that it could be useful in the fourth phase ”Detail design” and in the fifth phase ”Testing and refinement” in the Ulrich and Eppinger product development process. A methodology has been developed, covering all necessary steps going from an assembly of a vehicle in an arbitrary CAD program to perform real time simulations (including HiL simulations) of the vehicle in Simulink. The off-road research platform for forest- and agriculture applications developed by LTU was used as a case study in the master thesis. Applying the methodology on this platform showed that choosing correct simulation frequency is important and that graphics enabled in real time simulations requires large computational power.
