Bramm A.M., Halyasmaa A.I., Matrenin P.V., Eroshenko S.A.  Monitoring system for 6/10 kV power line parameters based on noncontact inductive transducers for detecting unauthorized energy consumption

The paper proposes a method for detecting unauthorized energy consumption in 6/10 kV distribution networks based on noncontact inductive transducers located in close proximity to power lines. The methodological background includes a physical model of coil output signal shaping as per Biot-Savart-Laplace law and Faraday’s law of induction, as well as spectral-energy analysis of signals. The change in the energy of the fundamental harmonic of the industrial frequency (50 Hz) is used as a diagnostic feature. It can be estimated by the results of short-time Fourier transform (STFT) with subsequent recording of the event. The spatial interpretation is based on the consistency/inconsistency of responses from successive control points. The activation of a sensor located earlier along the power flow, in the absence of a comparable response from the next sensor, is interpreted as a sign of load connection on the section of the power line between the two sensors. For experimental testing, a laboratory model of a three-phase power line with the possibility of load type changing was used. The experimental data confirm the applicability of noncontact inductive recording for quick event detection and the localization of the segment of unauthorized switching in case of uniform distribution of control points along the 6/10 KV feeder.
Keywords: power line, power line parameter monitoring, unauthorized power consumption, noncontact monitoring, short-time Fourier transform.

Chemidov I.V., Kazantseva M.A.  Developing unified information space for a radio-electronic company

The development of a unified information space (UIS) at an industrial discrete manufacturing enterprise is discussed. Service-oriented architecture (WCF), application programming interfaces (XML, JSON), and a solution enabling direct interaction of production systems at database level are the key integration elements. The approach ensured end-to-end data identification at all article lifecycle phases, workflow automation, and the integration with industrial equipment. Its application at NPP Radiosvyaz’ JSC has confirmed approach effectiveness owing to the reduction of human factor influence, debottlenecking in IT infrastructure, and higher controllability of production processes. The proposed solutions can be adapted for other discrete manufacturing enterprises within the digital transformation policy.

Shagniev O.B.  Intellectualization of milling process control system in uncertainty conditions

The problem of automatic tool wear identification and compensation in the milling process is discussed. A mathematical model of the dynamics of the elastic "carrier–tool–work surface" system has been developed in view of the nonlinear nature of the contact interaction forces. Experimental investigations and mathematical modeling show that the tool wear may cause self-oscillations and stability loss. Two tool wear models were analyzed and included in the milling model. Mathematical modeling results were used for artificial neural network training. A set of indices calculated by statistical processing of the readings of the tool application force sensor was used as the input data for ANN training. The output data are the cutting depth corresponding to the input parameters given that the tool is new, and the binary expert assessment of the surface machining quality. Based on the ANN evaluation, the logical block makes a decision on the advisability of changing the cutting parameters in accordance with the developed algorithm. Thus, the intelligent adaptation system enables timely tool wear detection and the machining program update without reducing the treated surface quality.
Keywords: mathematical modeling, machining process, milling, neural networks, intelligent control system, self-oscillations, stability.
