Programmazione e controllo dei gruppi pubblici locali. Dagli strumenti esistenti alle soluzioni innovative per la governance.

Il tema dei servizi pubblici locali è sicuramente centrale nell'attuale contesto socio-economico nazionale ed internazionale, in quanto essi hanno un impatto determinante sulle condizioni di vita dei cittadini e sulla competitività dei sistemi economici. In ragione di ciò, negli ultimi anni in Italia numerose riforme si sono susseguite, con lo scopo di individuare l'assetto più efficace ed efficiente per tale settore. Le suddette riforme hanno così ridisegnato il ruolo degli Enti Locali, che saranno sempre meno gestori diretti e sempre più direttori di una multiforme orchestra composta dalle aziende esterne chiamate a fornire in prima persona le prestazioni agli utenti finali. Il presente lavoro si propone di individuare, anche attraverso una ricerca sui Comuni capoluogo di Emilia-Romagna e Toscana, strumenti di programmazione e controllo in ottica di gruppo che consentano agli Enti Locali di svolgere questo nuovo delicato ruolo. Tali strumenti verranno disegnati sulla base delle necessità informative delle amministrazioni indagate e nel rispetto delle più recenti riforme in tema di programmazione, rilevazione, gestione, controllo, valutazione e comunicazione delle performance pubbliche.

En este trabajo se presentan los avances realizados en el proyecto Open Source WMSCWrapper: una implementación de una caché de teselas que permite transformar cualquier servidor de mapas estándar en un servidor de teselas capaz de satisfacer la demanda de un elevado número de usuarios simultáneos

WMSCWrapper: implementación WMS-C OpenSource para servicios WMS teselados

En este documento se presenta el proyecto Open Source WMSCWrapper: un innovador sistema de caché de teselas geográficas. Su arquitectura permite la inclusión de componentes y sondas experimentales, resultando idóneo para experimentación con nuevas estrategias de caché. El sistema está implementado en Java como un conjunto de servlets que exponen diversos interfaces de servicio como la recomendación WMS del OGC y el perfil WMS-C, así como el acceso por medio de interfaces REST, utilizados por Google Earth, Google Maps y Microsot Bing Maps. Cada petición es analizada en busca del tipo de cliente y de los parámetros obligatorios u opcionales y después transferida a una serie de componentes intercambiables que pueden preprocesar o postprocesar la información según las necesidades. A diferencia de otras implementaciones de WMS-C, se implementan técnicas de gestión de la cache que aplican heurísticas definidas para un dominio de aplicación. De esta manera, se intenta maximizar la probabilidad de acierto, manteniendo el consumo de recursos dentro de unos rangos definidos. Para ello, la actividad de la cache se monitoriza permanentemente almacenando los resultados en un índice espacial en memoria. Este proyecto ofrece un banco de pruebas con el que experimentar con diversas implementaciones de este índice y los indicadores que contienen, así como distintas políticas de reemplazo

Um sistema automatico de regulacao e controle da geracao de energia eletrica a partir de uma turbina eolica

Estações de microondas são alimentadas por banco de baterias que são carregados através da rede, caso estejam perto, ou de grupos geradores a diesel, quando estão localizados em zonas remotas. No Brasil existem 543 dessas estações isoladas da rede de alimentação. Turbinas eólicas acopladas a geradores de energia elétrica poderão, em alguns desses locais realizar o suprimento necessário de energia, e com isso poderão obter uma grande economia na compra e também no transporte do diesel até essas estações. Uma turbina Darrieus de 6m de diâmetro e três pás foi desenvolvida e instalada em uma dessas estações, localizada em Porto Alegre. A turbina parte através de um motor de arranque de 12 V e movimenta um gerador de indução de 3 KW, autoexcitado por capacitores. Variando o banco de capacitores podemos manter a tensão mesmo com a variação do sistema, partindo-o com uma velocidade de vento de 4 m/s e aplicando o freio quando a rotação atingir 200 rpm ou a velocidade de vento chegar a 16 m/s. Ele também realiza o chaveamento dos relés que escolhem o banco de capacitores utilizado, acionam o motor de partida e selecionam o sistema de carga de baterias.

Control automatico de un sistema electrico mediante logica difusa

Substitution of fuzzy logic control in an electrical system normally controlled by proportional-integral frequency was studied and analyzed. A linear model of an electrical system, the concepts which govern the theory of fuzzy logic, and the application of this theory to systems control, are briefly presented. The methodology of fuzzy logic was then applied to develop a model for an electrical energy system. The results of the simulation demonstrated that fuzzy logic control eliminated the area frequency error and permitted that only the area experiencing an increase in charge responds to this variation. Based on the results, it is concluded that control based on fuzzy logic is simple, is easy to maintain, is of low cost, and can be used to substitute traditional velocity controllers.

Controle de Acesso utilizando Arduino, banco de dados MySQL e LabVIEW

The search for more reliable security systems and information management of these systems is leading to a growing progress in new technologies investments that allow the implementation of equipment with a high level of reliability, but also have an agile and practical operation. This led people to turn increasingly looking for home automation systems, enterprise and industry for the automation and integration of their systems. The identification by radio frequency is very widespread today for ensuring both agility in handling records data, the reliability of their identification systems, which are increasingly advanced and less susceptible to fraud. Attached to this technology, the use of the database is always very important for the storage of information collected, the area where the MySQL platform is widely used. Using the open source Arduino platform for programming and manipulation of RFID module and LabVIEW software for the union of all these technologies and to develop a user-friendly interface, you can create a highly reliable access control and agility places a high turnover of people. This project aims to prove the advantages of using all these technologies working together, thus improving a flawed system effectively safety, cheaper and quicker
