Research on Frequency Fuzzy Adaptive Additional Inertial Control Strategy for D-PMSG Wind Turbine

SUMMARY

The traditional additional inertial control (T-AIC) strategy can provide frequency support for the directly-driven wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG). However, due to the fixed control coefficients, the frequency modulation effect is poor under load and wind speed disturbances. In order to improve the frequency transient response of D-PMSG, a fuzzy adaptive additional inertial control strategy (FA-AIC) is proposed in this paper. A simplified D-PMSG model is established for the complexity and low calculation speed. A single-machine grid-connected system composed of a D-PMSG and an equivalent synchronous generator set (ESGS) is taken as the background and analysis of the principle of T-AIC. The proportional and derivative coefficient initial values in T-AIC are tuned by simulating the static characteristics and inertial response characteristics of the conventional synchronous generator set, and fuzzy control technology is introduced to adjust the proportional and derivative coefficients adaptively based on the frequency deviation and the frequency deviation change rate under load or wind speed disturbances. The simulation verification indicates that T-AIC, kinetic energy (KE)-based gain-AIC and FA-AIC all can utilize the D-PMSG additional inertial response to provide frequency support for grid-connected systems. Compared with T-AIC and KE-based gain-AIC, the proposed FA-AIC can not only provide more effective frequency support during load disturbances, but also suppress the frequency fluctuation caused by the wind speed variation and displays a better dynamic frequency regulation effect.

Impacto de la capacitación en la mejora continua de la calidad del diagnóstico citológico / The effect of technical training for the continuous improvement of the quality in cytological diagnosisImpacto de la capacitación en la mejora continua de la calidad del diagnóstico citológico / The effect of technical training for the continuous improvement of the quality in cytological diagnosisLos indicadores generales de la eficacia en los programas de prevención del cáncer cervical se mantienen altos en nuestro país. Objetivos: Evaluar el impacto de la capacitación técnica en la mejora continua del diagnóstico citológico del cuello uterino en el Hospital "Abel Santamaría Cuadrado", período 2005-2007. Diseño: Se realizó un estudio de intervención-acción para medir el efecto de la capacitación en la calidad del diagnóstico de los citotecnólogos, medido mediante la correlación entre un primer diagnóstico emitido por el personal técnico y un segundo por un especialista en Anatomía Patológica, de una muestra de 22864 citologías. Se utilizaron las variables de concordancia en general y por el tipo de lesión, y aplicó la estadística descriptiva para variables cualitativas categóricas, expresadas en frecuencias absolutas y relativas porcentuales. Las comparaciones de frecuencias se verificaron mediante el estadígrafo de Ji cuadrado al 95 % de confianza y la prueba de kappa para la correlación entre observadores. Resultados. Se encontró un incremento de la concordancia en el 2007 con relación al periodo 2005-2006, resultado altamente significativo (X2 = 75.0; gdl = 1; p = 0.00000001). La concordancia de acuerdo al diagnóstico se incrementó con la excepción del NIC-III. Conclusión. Se comprobó que la capacitación influyó en la mejoría continua de la calidad del diagnóstico citológico. Palabras clave: cáncer/prevención, citología,diagnóstico. ABSTRACT In our country general indicators to assess the effectiveness of Programs for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer keep high. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of the technical training for the continuous improvement of cytological diagnosis of the cervical cancer at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital, during 2005-2007. Design: An intervention-action research was conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of the technical training process for improving quality in the diagnosis performed by the technicians of the specialty, measured through the correlation between the first diagnosis issued by technical personnel and a second one by the Pathologist, taken from a sample of 22864 cytologies. General concordance and the type of lesion were the variables used, applying descriptive statistics for categorical qualitative variables expressed in absolute frequencies and relative percentages. Frequency comparisons were verified by means of a chi square test, 95% of confidence and Kappa test for the correlation among observers. Results: An enhancement of concordance was found in 2007 in relation to the period of 2005-2006, highly significant (X2 = 75.0; gdl =1; p = 0.00000001). Concordance regarding the diagnosis increased, except in NIC-III. Conclusion: It was proved that technical training process influenced on the continuous improvement of the quality for cytological diagnosis. Key words: cancer/prevention, cytology, diagnosis.

Epidemiología de las lesiones endometriales en mujeres obesas mayores de 50 años / Epidemiology of the endometrial lesions in obese women older than 50 years oldEpidemiología de las lesiones endometriales en mujeres obesas mayores de 50 años / Epidemiology of the endometrial lesions in obese women older than 50 years oldSe realizó una investigación retrospectiva y analítica, con el objetivo de identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a las lesiones endometriales en las mujeres obesas mayores de 50 años en el municipio Pinar del Río. El universo de estudio estuvo constituido por la totalidad de las mujeres residentes en el área de salud Hermanos Cruz. Se seleccionó un grupo de estudio conformado por las mujeres obesas mayores de 50 años y un grupo de control conformado por las mujeres mayores de 50 años no obesas. Para obtener los datos, se utilizó una encuesta-formulario, donde se incluyeron variables generales de la mujer, antecedentes personales y familiares e historia ginecobstétrica, la cual fue aplicada a ambos grupos, con previo consentimiento. Se realizó un estudio ultrasonográfico a las mujeres incluidas en la investigación y uno histológico del endometrio cuando el examen ultrasonográfico resultó anormal (mayor de 4 mm en posmenopáusicas y de 14 mm en premenopáusicas.). Se confeccionó una base de datos con las variables estudiadas. Los resultados obtenidos se agruparon en cuadros (simples y de contingencia). Para su procesamiento estadístico se utilizaron la frecuencia absoluta y porcentual, el estadígrafo Ji cuadrado, pruebas de probabilidad de Fisher, los odds ratio (crudo y ponderado) y Z. La obesidad estuvo asociada con mayor probabilidad de tener un resultado ultrasonográfico anormal de la medida del grosor endometrial y de lesiones premalignas y cáncer endometrial, principalmente cuando existieron antecedentes familiares de cáncer de mama o colon y antecedentes personales de menarquía precoz, paridad y sangrado uterino anormal. Palabras clave: adenocarcinoma, neoplasias, epidemiología,hiperplasia endometrial,biopsia. ABSTRACT A retrospective and analytic research was carried out with the purpose of identifying risk factors associated with endometrial lesions in obese women older than 50 years old in Pinar del Rio municipality. The universe was comprised of the total of women living at "Hermanos Cruz" health sector. A group of obese women older than 50 years old and a control group of non-obese women older than 50 years old were chosen. To collect data, a survey-form was used; including general variables of women, personal, familial, gynecological and obstetric records. The survey was applied for both groups having a previous consent. A sonographic study was conducted to women participating in the research and performing an endometrial-histological examination when the Sonography showed abnormalities (greater 4mm in postmenopausal and 14mm in premenopausal women). A database using the variables studied was created; and the results were grouped in charts (simple and of contingency). In the statistical process absolute frequency and percentage, chi square, Fisher's probability test, odds ratio (raw and adjusted), and Z test were used. Obesity was associated with a major probability of having an abnormal sonographic result of the endometrial thickness, premalignant lesions and endometrial cancer; mainly when familial history of breast or colon cancers existed as well as personal records of early menarche, parity and abnormal uterine bleeding. Key words: Adenocarcinoma, Endometrial neoplasm, epidemiology, Endometrial hyperplasia, biopsy.
