Mechatronics system control by criterion of minimum losses

The optimal control laws for complex multiply connected objects are considered in the article on the example of systems of traction mechanisms by the criterion of minimum losses in the gas-air path. A mathematical model of a multiply connected object is proposed, which includes a gas-air path, an electric drive and a control system. The values of electricity consumption by electric drives of draft gears are compared for various control laws (gate valve, electric drive means, using the laws of optimal control). It is shown that due to the transition to the management of electric drive facilities and the application of optimal control laws, it is possible to reduce power consumption by approximately (20-30) %.
