HMI este prescurtarea de la "Human Machine Interface" şi reprezintă interfaţa dintre persoană (operator) şi maşină (proces). În prezent prin automatizarea proceselor (AS) se obţine controlul oricărui proces. S-a ajuns la o comunicare între WinCC şi operator sau altfel spus între WinCC şi sisteme. WinCC este o interfaţă pentru operator folosit pentru vizualizarea proceselor şi dezvoltarea grafică. WinCC îi permite operatorului să observe funcţionarea procesului. Procesul este disponibil grafic pe ecran. Se poate urmări în fiecare moment starea procesului şi schimbările intervenite. WinCC îi permite operatorului să controleze procesul. El poate, de exemplu, predefini nişte puncte sau să deschidă un robinet doar folosind interfaţa grafică. Semnalul de alarmă se porneşte automat atunci când procesul este într-o stare critică. Dacă, de exemplu, sunt depăşite nişte valori limită predefinite, apare pe ecran un mesaj care ne atenţionează. Atunci când lucrăm cu WinCC, valorile procesului pot fi scrise pe loc sau să le avem într-o arhivă electronică. Documentarea acestor facilităţi ale proceselor sau a oricărei subsecvenţe se poate face în timpul produceri ei. Proiectarea în WinCC Pentru a crea un proiect în WinCC va trebui să parcurgem următorii paşi: 1. Pornirea WinCC-ului. 2. Crearea unui proiect. 3. Selectarea şi instalarea driver-ului de comunicaţie. 4. Definirea etichetelor. 5. Crearea şi editarea procesului pe calculator. 6. Specificarea proprietăţilor de rularea a WinCC-ului. 7. Activarea pe ecran al WinCC cu Runtime 8. Folosirea simulatorului de test pentru proces pe calculator.

Toate obiectele grafice de care avem nevoie pentru proces vor putea fi create cu ajutorul librăriilor WinCC. Interfaţa realizată este prezentată în figura următoare: Figura 6 Simulare staţie de pompare în WinCC 4. Concluzii În trecut, sarcinile de control al unei maşini sau proces erau rezolvate cu PLC-uri (Programmable Logic Controls) individuale şi izolate. Pentru a atinge un grad de flexibilitate cât mai înalt şi o productivitate ridicată este necesar ca maşinile individuale să fie integrate în întregul sistem. TIA(Totally Integrated Automation) oferă un mediu software comun, ce integrează toate componentele, în ciuda varietăţii tehnologiilor aplicate, într-un sistem uniform. Astfel sunt reunite toate cerinţele pentru programare, configurare, operare, managementul datelor, comunicare, şi menţinerea soluţiilor de control. Articolul prezintă proiectarea supervizorul staţiei de pompare ape uzate Cluj-Napoca bazat pe Reţele Petri, şi testarea proiectului apelând la sistemul autoritar HMI - Human Machine Interface, WinCC. Conectarea WinCC la PLC-ul S7 300 TM, ar da posibilitatea rulării acestuia în timp real, iar Step 7 SIMATIC Manager, ce rulează pe PGurile sau PC-urile Siemens, oferă un set integrat de utilitare pentru toate componentele sistemului ce permite crearea uşoară, testarea, pornirea, operarea şi mentenanţa (service-ul) soluţiei alese pentru controlul procesului de epurare al apei uzate.

Emissions factors are representative values that try to relate the quantity of a pollutant released in the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant. These factors are usually expressed as the weight of pollutant divided by a unit weight, volume, distance, or duration of the activity of emitting the pollutant (e.g., kilograms of pollutant emitted per ton of fuel). For many systems (processes) emission factor represents an average of pollutant measurements in a time period and can be an emissions parameter for the whole process. In the navigation process, on sea or on rivers, this is not possible. We have in the navigation process a complex system where the emission factor depends on many parameters. In this work we introduce a new term - basic emission factor- and we present an inventory of emission factors from inland navigation from different sources. Having these two elements we can make the next step in developing a methodology for determination of basic emission factor directly on board of the ship. Activity related to emission factors is a support work in the project CREATING, a R&D project under FP6 / STREP - Priority Sustainable Surface Transport Keywords: basic emission factor 1. INTRODUCTION Emissions factors is a fundamental tool in developing national, regional, and local emissions inventories for air quality management decisions and in developing emissions control strategies. Emissions factors are representative values that attempt to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant. These factors are usually expressed as the weight of pollutant divided by a unit weight, volume, distance, or duration of the activity emitting of the pollutant (e.g., kilograms of pollutant emitted per ton of fuel). 1.1 Short description of the navigation combustion process Like any combustion system, engines used in inland navigation burn a fuel to release heat and produce power. This process involves the oxidation of hydrocarbons from fuel to produce water and carbon dioxide. However, the fuel and air used in the combustion process typically contain more elements than hydrogen and carbon and oxygen.

5 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC 109 During combustion additional elements implied in the process, form new molecules under the intense heat and pressure. Generally, these unnecessary products of combustion include the pollutants that affect our health and environment. Fuel combustion for navigation activities, like other fuel combustion processes, produces CO2, CH4, N2O, CO, NOx, NMVOCs, and SO2. Engines combustion process is presented in fig. 1 in a simplified scheme: Air for combustion Exhaust gases (water, CO, CO 2, NO x, SO x, hydrocarbons, PM) INPUTS Engine OUTPUTS Fuel (hydrocarbons, sulfur, other) Power Fig.1 Engines combustion process Chemical composition for some fuel is presented in table 1 Table 1 Fuel composition Fuel C % H % S % O % Exhaust gases density Diesel RME Methanol Ethanol Natural Gas* Propane Butane * Volumetric composition: CO2 1.10%; N %; CH %; C2H6 3.42%; C3H8 0.66%; C4H %; C5H %; C6H % [source 5] 2. EMISSION FACTOR The quantity of pollutant released from engines combustion process is a direct function of quantity of consumed fuel. Starting from this judgement we can define a basic emission factor like the quantity of pollutant produced by a weight unit of fuel at a moment or the quantity of pollutant produced when the consumed fuel produces a power unit. Basic emission factors are necessary to determine emissions from each navigation process activities: engines activities and ships activities.

6 110 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC By compilation of this basic emission factors, using equations and different information from databases regarding engines types, fuel types, ships operation modes, time for every operational mode, number of ships, etc., one estimate the emissions level specific for a source (in our case the source is nonroad engines for inland navigation). The elements necessary to calculate basic emission factors for a steady working state (fig.2), are: Pollutant concentration in exhaust gases: c expressed in weight units/ weight units or volume%, (ppm, %) Fuel mass flow in the moment of the measurement: q (kg/h) Engine power in the measurement moment: P(kW) STEADY WORKING STATE Fuel: q(kg/h) Pollutant Power c (ppm) P(kW) BEFQ - basic emission factor BEFP - basic emission factor related to consumed fuel related to power produced by (kg/ton of fuel) consumed fuel (g/kw-h) Fig. 2 The relation between BEFQ and BEFP is: BEFP = BEFQ x sfc x 10-3 (g/kw-h), where: (1) sfc - is the specific fuel consumption (g/kwh); generally is an engine parameter given by the manufacturer in performances diagrams and differs according to the engine power. Basic emission factors are a characteristic of an engine under constant working conditions. For every steady working condition must be established a basic emission factor. Today are used emission factors that can be calculated by different methods: 2.1. Direct measurements Measurements need to be collected over a period of time, to be representative for operations followed and to respect existent requirements and standards in the field. The European standard in exhaust emissions measurements is ISO 8178, Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines Exhaust Emission Measurement, that contains 9 parts: Part 1: Test-bed measurement of gaseous and particle exhaust emissions; Part 2: Measurement of gaseous and particle exhaust emissions at site; Part 3: Definitions and methods of measurement of exhaust gas smoke under steady-state conditions;

7 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC 111 Part 4: Test cycles for different engine applications; Part 5: Test fuels; Part 6: Test report; Part 7: Engine family determination; Part 8: Engine group determination; Part 9: Test-bed measurement of exhaust gas smoke emissions from engines used in non-road mobile machinery. For in-service waterway engine testing, the most important parts of ISO 8178 are Parts 2 and 4. These parts specify theoretical conditions and test cycles to in-service engine testing. Although exists this standard, it is difficult to respect its conditions for on-board measurements. These measurements are generally adapted to the real conditions, so that the ship can execute its activities without changes. For such measurements were published different work manuals and guides that are based on ISO 8178 but with modifications for on-board conditions. 2.2 Mass balance The mass balance identifies the quantity of substance going in and out of the process. Emission factors can be calculated as the difference between input and output of each substance present in process. These techniques are best applied to systems with prescribed inputs, defined internal conditions, and known outputs. This method is recommended to be used in calculation of exhaust gas flow and/or combustion air consumption: Carbon balance method and Carbon/oxygen balance. Both methods are based on exhaust gas concentration measurements and on knowledge of fuel consumption and composition. The both methods are described in TECHNICAL CODE ON CONTROL OF EMISSION OF NITROGEN OXIDES FROM MARINE DIESEL ENGINES, MP/CONF. 3/35, adopted on Sept by the Conference of Parties to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships.[5] 2.3. Engineering calculation An engineering calculation is an estimation method based on physical/chemical properties of the substances and mathematical relationships. Theoretical and complex equations or models can be used for estimating emission factor from a variety of waterway activities and processes. Use of engineering calculations to estimate emission factor from such activities can be a more complex and time-consuming process Associated method for estimation of emission factors This method is a combination of the first three methods and is based on developing a correlation between pollutant emission rates and process parameters through measurements, information from databases or statistic and calculation. This method allows the development of specific emission factors, or emission factors more relevant for particular process stages. Based on test data and using various parameters, a mathematical correlation can be developed to establish emission factors relevant for the process. In this case it is necessary to outline the techniques for determination of emission factors of pollutant substances from the principal operational activities considered major in the navigation process, to establish the data inputs required, and the sources of this data. These calculations are based on standard assumptions about vessel operations, engine load profiles, and emissions characteristics. It is widely acknowledged that in-service engines perform differently than the new engines tested and certified by manufacturers. We mention here reference [2], VESSEL OPERATOR ENGINE EMISSIONS MEASUREMENT GUIDE, Final Report, Submitted by James J. Corbett, P.E., Ph.D., Principal Investigator University of Delaware (may 2003).

8 112 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC This document provides general guidelines and information to an operator who wants to monitor the emissions from one or several of the engines in a fleet of vessels. These guidelines are a result of a partnership between MARAD, the University of Delaware, and industry to research, develop, and disseminate information on energy and emissions technology and technology applications. 3. INVENTORY OF EMISSION FACTORS RELEVANT FOR NAVIGATION PROCESS The main source for databases used in emission factors analyzing, are Lloyds Register, Marintek, Germanisher Lloyd, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, EPA, as it was specified in the analyzed materials (studies, reports, etc.). The Lloyd s Register of Ships is considered to be the authoritative resource for information about ship details, including owner, operator, ship name, ship type, registry number, cargo handling equipment, flag of registry and, significantly, ship engine details such as maximum horsepower and number of auxiliary engines information about ship details, including owner, operator, ship name, ship type, registry number, cargo handling equipment, flag of registry and, significantly, ship engine details such as maximum horsepower and number of auxiliary engines. We propose in this research work to make a collection of emission factors used in analyzed materials and to calculate emission factors from kg/ton of fuel in g/kwh to have a unitary image of these elements. To perform this calculation we have used specific fuel consumption sfc- (g/kw-h). Table 2 provides information about Specific Fuel Consumption (sfc). For diesel engine, information was taken from the EEA/EMEP CORINAIR 1999 and for steam and gas turbine data information was taken from IMO [3] Table 2 Specific Fuel Consumption (sfc) (g/kw-hr) Engine Type sfc ( g/kw-hr) Slow-speed diesel 207 Medium-speed diesel 227 High-speed diesel 227 Steam turbine 290 Gas turbine 290 [source 3] In inland navigation there were identified some categories of ships presented in table 3.

ENTEC study develops a detailed analyze for emission factors based on different operational modes and fuel types. Using data from LMIS (Lloyd s Marine Intelligence Services) ENTEC has presented the emission factors from table 7. We do not find here data for slow speed engines, steam turbine and gas turbine engines, nor for CO.

13 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC CONCLUSIONS For many systems (processes) emission factor represent an average of pollutant measurements in a time period and can be assumed as the emissions parameter for the whole process. In the navigation process, on the sea or on the rivers, this is not possible. We have in the navigation process a complex system where the emission factor depends on many parameters. There are numerous studies and research works that follow to find a methodology to establish emission factors so that they mirror better the whole navigation process. Although there are many studies in the field, there is not a unitary methodology yet. Every work treats the navigation process from certain points of view, every study use own assumptions and approximations and the results are various. Generally, these studies try to estimate emission level from navigation activities on emission factors base and not to establish a methodology for emission factors determination. At present the data that underline emission factors is limited and is an aggregation of engine tests on a variety of engine types and sizes, fuel types, operational mode, etc. Emission factors are still derived from limited data. Some conclusion can be formulated after the study of emission factors from other research works: 1. Three sources that studied emission factors (g/kwh) offer us close values for pollutant released in air during fuel burning ( table 5, 6and 7) even if the used methodologies in calculation of these factors are different. 2. Engine type and fuel type are key elements in relation with emission factors: emissions are increased for MSD engines than those for SSD engines (table 5, 6) except NOx that is better and RO (residual oil) produces more quantities of pollutant than MDO or MGO (table 7). 3. Working state of the engine is another important element in the evaluation of air pollution from navigation: during cruising that generally means steady working state of the engine the emission factors are smaller than those for manoeuvrings mode when the engine is changing frequently its working condition (table 8, 9 for navigation on the sea and table 10, 11 for inland navigation). Understanding how and how much each parameter from navigation process has an influence on the quantity of pollutant released in air, will allow us to find in the next stages of our work a method to calculate the basic emission factor and the emission level. 5.

In this way, it is presented data acquisition equipment for energetic measures which is incorporated in a dispatching system aiming the monitoring and storing of electrical measures which are taken from electrical cells which compose the supervised electrical station. There are distinguished the component elements of the monitoring system: Local data acquisition equipments (LDAqE), Local data acquisition equipments synchronization subsystem, Data communication subsystem, Processing, storing and data displaying subsystem and the software for data processing at the dispatcher level and also at the local data acquisition equipment level. Keywords: Data transmission, Energy system management, Measurements, Transducers, Daq, Dispatcher 1. Introduction When it is analyzed the efficiency of a production process there appears the problem of the consumption of the electrical energy which represents a vital source for each factory. A sustained activity for maintaining the internal electrical energy consumptions at reduced levels explains the worries of many managers regarding the way in which the electrical energy is consumed inside the factory they run. The measures taken into consideration included the implementation of a monitoring and control system of the energetic installation, with the purpose of automat supervision of the electrical energy consumed capable to issue the necessary information for the reduction of the energy and installation s automation costs. The monitoring system for the electrical parameters is designed to go on two main directions: The acquisition of the characteristic parameters of the electrical station (voltages, currents, powers, auxiliary contacts of the switching elements), processing these parameters and sending them to a superior level (dispatcher) through a physical data transmission

15 REVISTA ROMÂN DE AUTOMATIC 119 medium. The taken signals are used for permanent monitoring of the functioning of the electrical distribution station. Synchronous acquisition, on a determined period of time, of a set of characteristic parameters of the transient regime when an error occurs in the monitored electrical station. The set of data stored during the error period is then sent to a computer where the interpretation of data is done by the help of a dedicated program. 2. The architecture of the monitoring System To accomplish the two main directions, there was designed a complex data acquisition, data sending and receiving system [5], [7], [8], which has the block diagram presented in Fig.1. The system functions must provide: permanent and real time visualization of the characteristic measures for the electrical station (currents, voltages, powers, energy, power factors, auxiliary contacts); visual and sound alarm in case of outrunning pre-established range for any of the monitored measures; visual and sound alarm in case any equipment faults (fails of communication lines, fails of data collecting equipments, etc.); recording information into a database (dispatcher), assuring the possibility to process data on the network server computer or on any workstation connected to the network; graphical display of the measures taken from the process, on time periods defined by the users; printing of consumption diagrams and specific diagrams on time periods defined by the user; interconnection into a computer network; data transfer to a central dispatcher. 2.1 Processing, storing and data displaying subsystem This subsystem is composed of an IBM PC compatible computer and the corresponding software which allows storing, processing, displaying and printing data taken from a maximum number of 255 local data acquisition equipments (LDAqE) from electrical cells. This computer can be integrated in a LAN at the dispatcher level, allowing data access to authorized users. 2.2 Data communication subsystem This subsystem is composed of equipments for connecting to the optical fiber environment (equipment at the dispatcher s level and equipment for each of the electrical cell from the perimeter of the supervised station) which assure communication at high speed and high security between the data processing subsystem and the local data acquisition equipments. The proposed subsystem is immune to the electromagnetic interferences and assures optimal galvanic isolation between the acquisition equipments and the equipments form the dispatcher.

By mounting these equipments there is assured the synchronous data take over at the level of each cell from the respective electrical house, and also at the level of the electrical station. This fact is extremely useful for the analysis of the acquisitioned data, allowing the user to supervise the propagation of a flaw at the station level and also at the level of the electrical distribution system. 3. Data processing software At the dispatcher s computer [8] level there is implemented a program which can assure the supervision of the functioning of all cells from an electrical distribution station and which can take over, process and display data regarding a flaw, from any of the local data acquisition equipments mounted in the supervised electrical station. The program offers the user many windows, depending on the desired information to be visualized, and which will be presented in the following: When the program runs on the computer s display, there appears a window, presented in Fig.2, that displays the electrical scheme with the corresponding state (on-off) of the switching elements (switches, connection to ground separators, etc.). This window displays the values of the currents, voltages and powers corresponding to each supply or

So for the electrical supply lines LEA1 and LEA2 there are displayed the values for the supply voltage (at the level of the measurement transformer from the respective line), of the current and of the instantaneous power consumed on the side of the cells leaving the station. At the level of each cell there are displayed the instantaneous values of the current and of the power consumed on the respective leaving line, and the value of the supply voltage is displayed at the level of the measuring voltage cell for each group of line cells. To each switch of each line cell there is a button C1 C7. When a mouse click is done on any of the C1 C7 buttons on the screen there will automatically appear a new window, presented in Fig.3, which describes the selected cell with all the signals taken from the local data acquisition equipment mounted in this cell. There are presented all three supply lines L1, L2, L3 from the respective electrical cell, with the three-phased separator Q1.2, the supply switcher of the respective line Q0.2, and the connect to ground separator Q8.2, in which all are in on state represented by the blue color of the mobile contacts. Another group of information taken from local data acquisition equipment is presented in the screen s right side like rectangular LEDs which describe the state of the contacts taken through digital inputs. On the screen there are displayed all of the energetic values: in the superior region, next to the supply lines, there is displayed information regarding the supply voltages of the respective cell, in the left side there is displayed the information regarding the powers and values for the active energy Wp and for the reactive energy Wq consumed on that line until that moment, and continuously there is displayed the value of the frequency for the supply voltage on the respective line. To the right there are 2 buttons: STATIE and CONFIGURARE. Fig. 2. The electrical scheme of the monitored station

Conclusion The local equipment for energetic data acquisition (LDAqE) is a component element of a complex supervision system for the electrical energetic flow which is implemented in an electrical station from Craiova. The system offers the possibility of permanent monitoring of the electrical measures, energetic consumptions on the supply lines, total station and also flaws monitoring. Through the possibilities that it offers, the system can work interconnected with other monitoring systems and also with other computational systems in the network, allowing this way access to information, at different decisional levels.

37 HERVEX 2007 CAMERA DE COMERT SI INDUSTRIE VALCEA noiembrie CALIMANESTI-CACIULATA ROMANIA INSTITUTUL DE CERCETARI PENTRU HIDRAULICA SI PNEUMATICA Stimate Domnule Director General, UNIVERSITATEA POLITEHNICA BUCURESTI HERVEX 2007 S a l o nul national de hidraulic a s i p ne uma t i ca, sisteme d e etansare, me c a nic a fina, sc ule, d ispozitive si e c h i pame n t e e l e ct ro nice specifice, mecatronic a Ne face o deosebita placere sa va aducem la cunostinta ca Salonul National de Hidraulic, Pneumatic, Elemente de etansare, Mecanic Fin, Scule, Dispozitive si Echipamente Electronice Specifice, Mecatronic HERVEX a ajuns anul acesta la a XV-a editie. Manifestarea a reunit in fiecare an intregul spectru de specialisti din Romania implicati in problematica hidraulicii si pneumaticii. Sugestiile facute de participanti la editiile trecute au determinat organizatorii sa includa in programul editiei 2007 seminarii tematice, prezentari de produse, servicii specifice si demonstratii practice necesare personalului implicat in exploatarea si intretinerea echipamentelor complexe. Aceste activitati sunt gandite a fi discutii interactive moderate de reprezentanti ai unor firme de prestigiu ale domeniului, ai unor unitati de cercetare si ai unor unitati de invatamant superior, discutii prin care participantii sa acceada la cunostinte de ultima ora in legatura cu proiectarea si depanarea echipamentelor si sistemelor hidraulice si pneumatice. De asemenea, implicarea Asociatiei Profesionale Nationale de Hidraulica si Pneumatica din Romania - FLUIDAS, face posibila participarea unui numar de firme din uniunea Europeana prin aderarea acestei Asociatii la CETOP. Necesitatea deschiderii mediului de afaceri din Romania catre Europa si realizarea unor parteneriate intre firmele romanesti si cele din Uniunea Europeana face ca in acest an manifestarea sa prezinte un mare interes pentru participantii la reuniune. Incepand din acest an HERVEX devine si unul din Saloanele Cercetarii pentru regiunea 4 Valcea, acest lucru fiind sustinut de M.Ed.C A.N.C.S ce doreste stimularea conexiunilor dintre cercetare si economie. Avand in vedere interesul acordat de M.Ed.C. si necesitatea diseminarii rezultatelor obtinute in Institutele de Cercetare, din orice domeniu, consideram ca este o oportunitate participarea Institutului Dumneavoastra la acest Salon al Cercetarii Regional. Cu speranta ca veti considera HERVEX 2007 un bun prilej pentru specialistii dumneavoastra de a veni in contact cu posibili utilizatori ai rezultatelor cercetarii, va adresam invitatia de a participa la aceasta manifestare in perioada noiembrie. Pentru informatii suplimentare va rugam sa consultati paginile de internet sau va puteti adresa Camerei de Comert si Industrie Valcea. Cu stima, Ing.
