This paper presents the results of complex scientific research aimed at developing a prototype fiber-optic system for controlling the technical condition of buildings, structures, and extended objects. The aim is to develop a quasi-distributed type of fiber-optic control system without electrical signals, with the minimum possible cost of one measurement point. The fiber-optic sensors are based on a new method of controlling the parameters of the light spot by means of a hardware-software complex. The proposed monitoring system is quasi-distributed, is able to determine the damaged and most stressed and deformed areas of load-bearing reinforced concrete structures of buildings at the stage of their occurrence, and will allow for the taking of preventive measures for their protection. The research was carried out on a laboratory bench working together with the hardware-software complex; pixel analysis of changes in the area of the spot and its intensity was used as a fiber-optic sensor. A single-mode optical fiber of the G.652.D 9/125 μm standard was used, with a wavelength of 650 nm. The monitoring system can perform the function of pressure measurement on the building structure, establish the damage zone, and signal in case of an abrupt change in parameters in case of structure destruction. Laboratory tests have shown that the number of channels can be increased to 16 or 32. With the help of this system, it is possible to monitor the technical condition of the underground and above-ground parts of buildings or structures and control their integrity in real-time.

The research on determining rational parameters of heat treatment of a concrete mixture based on hollow aluminosilicate microspheres has defined the features of the intensifying action on the structural concrete mixture by low-pressure steam with optimum heat and mass transfer. Optimum values of temperature, humidity and speed of the medium have been identified. The obtained heat treatment parameters are subject to general regularities of structures for the formation of hydraulic bindings and are in accordance with production conditions, thus providing possibilities for their adaptation into production. The mechanisms for determining the strength of concrete stone according to the structural and thermal effectiveness of the active medium have been defined. Thanks to the strength-building mechanisms obtained, it is possible to reduce the thermal destruction capacity of the system while reducing the process heat consumption. It is confirmed that the main direction in reducing the destructive capacity is determined by the mass flow of moisture, which has the greatest heat capacity and the least thermal conductivity at the initial stages. The invention relates to periods of temperature rise and isothermal heating without impairing the mechanical properties of concrete. It is shown that the real duration excludes high-temperature destruction processes, thereby increasing the mechanical strength of concrete and reducing the overall energy consumption. Thus, there is a reason to argue that it is possible to produce strong and light concrete products under accelerated structure formation and new technologies for heat treatment of concrete based on lightweight fillers with reduced heat consumption.

The article considers the valve converter with a natural current characteristic, which is called the current of parametric, for which the primary is not the source of the electric force but a parametric source of current, to the output of which connected to the counter-parallel thyristor sets assembled on the bridge scheme. The control of thyristors in the current converter is carried out taking into account the characteristic features of the parametric source, to avoid overvoltage on its reactive elements, analyzed algorithmic and modulating functions of the system borne temporary diagrams.

The present work focuses on the development of control systems of wind-diesel power plant with DC-bus, which provide generation static stability for a given operation conditions. The article describes the operating modes of generating units and conversion devices, by which the maximum power output and static stability of the wind-diesel system are realized. Independent controllers setting for each generation source is proposed, making possible a modular extension of the hybrid power plant. The controllers are tuned for wind and diesel generation sources. Two optimization methods are used: linear and modular. By quality indicators analysis of the transients and logarithmic frequency responses the optimal structure and parameters of the regulators are selected. The regulators developed are implemented and used for existing power equipment. The control systems test experimental data obtained confirm the adequacy, reliability and performance of the developed solutions.

This article discusses the possibility of applying a cylindrical coordinate system when examining the magnetic field of a synchronous machine.

A generalized scientific review with elements of additions and clarifications has been carried out on the methods of theoretical research on the electrophysical properties of crystals with ionic–molecular chemical bonds (CIMBs). The main theoretical tools adopted are the methods of quasi-classical kinetic theory as applied to ionic subsystems relaxing in layered dielectrics (natural silicates, crystal hydrates, various types of ceramics, and perovskites) in an electric field. A universal (applicable for any CIMBs class crystals) nonlinear quasi-classical kinetic equation of theoretical and practical importance has been constructed. This equation describes, in complex with the Poisson equation, the mechanism of ion-relaxation polarization and conductivity in a wide range of polarizing field parameters (0.1–1000 MV/m) and temperatures (1–1550 K). The physical model is based on a system of non-interacting ions (due to the low concentration in the crystal) moving in a one-dimensional, spatially periodic crystalline potential field, perturbed by an external electric field. The energy spectrum of ions is assumed to be continuous. Elements of quantum mechanical theory in a quasi-classical model are used to mathematically describe the influence of tunnel transitions of hydrogen ions (protons) during the interaction of proton and anion subsystems in hydrogen-bonded crystals (HBC) on the polarization of the dielectric in the region of nitrogen (50–100 K) and helium (1–10 K) temperatures. The mathematical model is based on the solution of a system of nonlinear Fokker-Planck and Poisson equations, solved by perturbation theory methods (via expanding solutions into infinite power series in a small dimensionless parameter). Theoretical frequency and temperature spectra of the dielectric loss tangent were constructed and analyzed, the molecular parameters of relaxers were calculated, and the physical nature of the maxima of the experimental temperature spectra of dielectric losses for a number of HBC crystals was discovered. The low-temperature maximum, which is caused by the quantum tunneling of protons and is absent in the experimental spectra, was theoretically calculated and investigated. The most effective areas of scientific and technical application of the theoretical results obtained were identified. The application of the equations and recurrent formulas of the constructed model to the study of nonlinear optical effects in elements of laser technologies and nonlinear radio wave effects in elements of microwave signal control systems is of the greatest interest.
