Impact of automation on enhancing energy quality in grid-connected photovoltaic systems

Virgilio Alfonso Murillo Rodríguez NOE VILLA VILLASEÑOR José Manuel Robles Solís OA Guirette-Barbosa (2023, [Artículo])

Rapid growth in the integration of new consumers into the electricity sector, particularly in the industrial sector, has necessitated better control of the electricity supply and of the users’ op-erating conditions to guarantee an adequate quality of service as well as the unregulated dis-turbances that have been generated in the electrical network that can cause significant failures, breakdowns and interruptions, causing considerable expenses and economic losses. This research examines the characteristics of electrical variations in equipment within a company in the industrial sector, analyzes the impact generated within the electrical system according to the need for operation in manufacturing systems, and proposes a new solution through automation of the regulation elements to maintain an optimal system quality and prevent damage and equipment failures while offering a cost-effective model. The proposed solution is evaluated through a reliable simulation in ETAP (Energy Systems Modeling, Analysis and Optimization) software, which emulates the interaction of control elements and simulates the design of electric flow equipment operation. The results demonstrate an improvement in system performance in the presence of disturbances when two automation schemes are applied as well as the exclusive operation of the capacitor bank, which improves the total system current fluctuations and improves the power factor from 85.83% to 93.42%. Such a scheme also improves the waveform in the main power system; another improvement result is when simultaneously operating the voltage and current filter together with the PV system, further improving the current fluctuations, improving the power factor from 85.83% to 94.81%, achieving better stability and improving the quality of the waveform in the main power grid.

Synthesis of hollow carbon spheres by chemical activation of carbon nanoparticles for their use in electrochemical capacitor

Cesar Eduardo Sanchez Rodriguez EDUARDO TOVAR MARTINEZ MARISOL REYES REYES Luis Felipe Cházaro Ruiz ROMAN LOPEZ SANDOVAL (2022, [Artículo])

"Naphthalene combustion has been used to synthesize grams per hour of solid carbon spheres (CS). The carbon soot was activated by acid treatment consisting in a mixture of HNO3 and H2SO4 (1/3 v/v) to produce hollow carbon spheres (HCS). The effect of two concentrations of CSs (5 and 10 mg mL−1) in the acid mixture, on the physicochemical properties of the activated HCSs was studied. The HSCs were subjected to a thermal treatment to increase their graphitization to enhance their electrical conductivity. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of HCSs due to the acid treatment whereas FTIR spectra showed that the chemical activation produced functional groups on the carbon spheres surface and the heat treatment effect to remove some of them as well. A specific surface area of 300 m2 g−1 and a large density of micropores for the acid-treated CSs as well as the heat-treated CSs were estimated by analysis of N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. A specific capacitance 70 F g−1 was calculated by cyclic voltammetry of the acid and thermally treated HCSs at 5 mV s−1, for both CS concentrations, indicating the possibility of synthesizing these HCSs using a simple method in large quantities for their use in electrochemical capacitors."

Desarrollo y comercialización de adyuvantes herbolarios como alternativa terapéutica para el tratamiento del síndrome metabólico en adultos mexicanos. Evaluación de solicitud de patente y registro sanitario

SYLVIA ADRIANA PINAL CALVILLO (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Este trabajo de tesis parte de la creciente preocupación global sobre la Epidemia

Metabólica, enfocándose en su prevalencia, impacto económico y las perspectivas

futuras en México. Se centra en la interconexión entre enfermedades metabólicas,

factores de riesgo compartidos y la respuesta a intervenciones comunes,

destacando la obesidad, diabetes y síndrome metabólico como ejes centrales.

Adicionalmente, examina la Medicina Ancestral y la estandarización en la

producción de remedios herbolarios como estrategias potenciales para mitigar esta

crisis.

El trabajo revisa los antecedentes de la Medicina Tradicional según la Organización

Mundial de la Salud (OMS), su uso en condiciones metabólicas, y su integración en

sistemas de salud. Se presta especial atención al uso de plantas medicinales en

México y a nivel global, resaltando la transferencia intercultural de conocimientos

herbolarios en la era de la globalización.

En el marco general, se establecen los objetivos del estudio y se detalla la

caracterización de productos herbales específicos para el tratamiento del síndrome

metabólico, se centra en el uso sinérgico de: Syzigium cumini, Coix lacryma-jobi, y

Mossanona depressa. Se analizan sus propiedades farmacológicas y usos en el

tratamiento de la diabetes y el síndrome metabólico.

La sección de formalización comercial aborda la constitución de la sociedad, los

registros ante el Instituto Mexicano de Propiedad Intelectual (IMPI) y la Comisión

Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos a la Salud (COFEPRIS), la determinación

de patentabilidad, y las estrategias de protección de propiedad intelectual.

Finalmente, el estudio concluye con recomendaciones para la mejora regulatoria en

este campo y detalla la tramitología necesaria para la implementación de estas

estrategias. La investigación subraya la importancia de integrar la medicina

tradicional en los sistemas de salud modernos para combatir la epidemia

metabólica, especialmente en contextos como el de México.
