Architecture of an Electrical Equivalence Pyranometer with Temperature Difference Analog Control.

In this paper, an architecture of an electrical equivalence pyranometer with analog control of the temperature difference is presented. The classical electrical equivalence pyranometer employs a Wheatstone bridge with a feedback amplifier to keep the sensor operating at a constant temperature to estimate the incident radiation through the sensor thermal balance employing the electrical equivalence principal. However, this architecture presents limitations under ambient temperature variation, such as sensitivity variation.

Adaptive Pressure Control System Based on the Maximum Correntropy Criterion.

Water supply systems are constantly improving their operation through energy efficiency actions that involve the use of advanced measurement, control, and automation techniques. The maintenance and reliability of water distribution is directly associated with hydraulic pressure control. The main challenges encountered in hydraulic pressure control are associated with random changes in the supply plant and the presence of noise and outliers in the sensor measurements.
