“…The problem of optimal H 1 control is studied in [6] in order to deal with external disturbances in the ventilation circuit. A similar model is introduced in [7] to compute optimal resistance of the branches in the network with genetic algorithms applied on a feedback linearization controller. Equivalent modeling procedures are used to describe natural gas distribution networks by means of a state space representation in [8].…”

“…Let us consider the example presented in [3], where dimensionless magnitudes are introduced. It is worth stressing that the model proposed initially by [3] has been used in recent works to develop control strategies for mine ventilation systems [6,7,24], etc. The ventilation network represented in Figure 1 has three branches, one node and one fan.…”

This work is devoted to the modeling and structural analysis of ventilation networks in small-scale mines using a physically oriented modeling method that ensures power conservation. Small-scale mines are common in the mineral extraction industry of underdeveloped countries and their physical characteristics are taken into account in the modeling process. The geometrical topology of the ventilation network in addition with the conservation laws of the fluid distribution along the network are considered in order to obtain a simple modeling methodology. Non-linear characteristics of the interconnected fluid dynamics represent a challenge to determine significant features of the system from a control point of view. Observability and controllability properties are analyzed by considering the structural systems approach. An structural analysis provides information based on the network topology independently of the mine parameters allowing the number of sensors and actuators to be reduced while also preserving the observability and controllability of the ventilation system. Experimental results are provided by building a small-scale ventilation network benchmark to evaluate the proposed model and its properties.

“…A similar model is proposed by [8], including external perturbation in the model and designing an H 1 optimal controller. Sui et al [9] introduce a control law based on feedback linearization and genetic algorithms to obtain optimal branch resistance values for complex networks. In a different context, a 0‐D approximation of the 1‐D pressure transport (advection and sink) as a time‐delay system is proposed in [10,11] and shown to be efficient as a reference model for feedback control of the large advective flows appearing in the mining ventilation problem; this class of approximation focuses on the control of pure transport phenomena.…”

In view of the frequent ventilation network changes during production in underground mining, decreasing sensors and actuators without altering production control and safety is one of the chief engineering challenges. This work is focused on modeling identification and control strategies for underground ventilation networks in small‐scale mines using an experimental benchmark. Guidelines to obtain a discrete state space model are provided, considering the conservation laws in the network to define the structure of the linear model. The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the use of classic controllers in the mine ventilation system when there are limitations on the number of sensors and actuators available to design a feedback control system. A comparison of three classic control strategies is presented considering the a constraint on the available number of sensors. Experimental and simulation results are presented.

Recent years has seen the proliferation of various fluid pipe networks in our living and working environments. With the growth in size, complexity and scale, fluid pipe networks are faced with numerous problems like pipe collision and bursting. To prevent these problems, ensure the operation efficiency and save cost, this paper probes into the structure and performance of two fluid pipe networks that backs up each other. Based on topological analysis algorithm, the two fluid pipe networks were converted into topological graphs, and created topological models involving pipe elements and nodes. Through optimization of the models, the author proposed the two-pipe connection mode for the two pipe networks. The optimization strategy was then verified through a simulation application in a tree-shaped water injection system. The results show that our strategy can effectively optimize the two-pipe connection, ensure the operation efficiency and save the network cost. The research findings provide a good reference to the design and optimization of fluid pipe networks in China.
