DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS OF THE DIGITAL MODEL FOR CONTROLLING THE ELECTRIC DRIVE OF THE ETRO-03 OZONATOR BASED ON ELECTRICAL CORONA DISCHARGE

This article highlights the significance of developing a digital control model for the electric drive of the ETRO-03 ozonator, aiming to improve the stability of ozone production, boost system performance, and lower energy consumption through advanced control techniques. The electric drive, being crucial for ozone generation, plays a key role in determining the ozonator’s efficiency. To accomplish these objectives, mathematical models were created and simulated in Python to represent the system's dynamics. The study analyzed essential parameters of the electric drive, such as current, angular velocity, inductance, and resistance. Initial fluctuations in current and angular velocity were quickly stabilized, with the system’s inertial effects examined. The current peaked at 20 A before stabilizing at 18 A, while angular velocity reached 150 rad/s, later stabilizing at 145 rad/s. The system achieved stable operation within 10 milliseconds. The inductance (0.05 H) and resistance (2 ohms) were identified as critical in stabilizing current and angular velocity. Friction torque played a significant role during the initial phase but had minimal impact during steady-state operation. Overall, the research confirmed that integrating digital control systems can enhance the ETRO-03 ozonator’s performance.
