Performance Evaluation of Sinusoidal Power Supplies for Ozone Generation in Water Purification Applications.

Ozone generation is a water disinfection method, superior to chlorine in terms of fewer byproducts and no residual taste. However, its high production cost limits its widespread adoption. This paper designs an ozone generation sinusoidal power supply for water treatment. Ozone generation requires a high-frequency and high-voltage power supply to produce ozone from oxygen molecules. The study evaluates two power supply topologies, one with a parallel LC filter and the other with an LCL filter, assessing their feasibility, effectiveness, and reliability. Theoretically, the LCL filter achieves higher gains than the parallel LC filter. The larger inductance in the parallel LC filter reduces gain, while the larger inductance in the LCL filter increases gain. Simulation and practical results validate these findings, achieving gains of 40 for the parallel LC filter and 150 for the LCL filter.

Switching robust control for ozone generators using the attractive ellipsoid method.

This paper deals with a switching robust tracking feedback design for a corona-effect ozone generator. The generator is considered as a switched systems in the presence of bounded model uncertainties as well as external perturbations. Three nonlinear dynamic models under arbitrary switching mechanisms are considered assuming that a sample-switching times are known. The stabilization issue is achieved in the sense of a practical stability. We apply the newly elaborated (extended) version of the conventional attractive ellipsoid method (AEM) for this purpose. The same analysis was efficient to obtain the minimal size of region where the tracking error between the trajectories of the ozone generator and reference states converges. The numerically implementable sufficient conditions for the practical stability of systems are derived based on bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs).
