1. Introduction
In modern industrial processes, environmental protection and energy efficiency enhancement are among the key challenges [1,2]. In this context, ozonator devices are widely used for effective disinfection of water, air, and various surfaces. The high oxidative capacity of ozone makes it an indispensable tool in eliminating bacteria and viruses, highlighting it as an environmentally friendly solution [3,4,5].
However, to improve the efficiency of ozonator devices, there is a need to optimize and synthesize their electric drive control systems [6]. Utilizing the capabilities of digital control systems is crucial in this regard. Digital control systems not only enhance accuracy and reliability but also allow for automatic adjustment of the device's operating modes, thereby reducing energy consumption and increasing the efficiency of ozone production.

The main objectives of these studies are to effectively control the operation of the ozonator device, reduce energy consumption, and improve the quality of the ozone production process. Initially, the principles of ozonator operation and the characteristics of the electric drive system were analyzed. Since the electric drive system is a key component of ozone generation, its stability and efficiency directly impact the overall productivity of ozone production. Therefore, a mathematical model of the system was developed to ensure its efficient operation.

The researchers achieved positive results in improving ozone production efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The experimental data were compared with the simulation results, and the system's performance and reliability were assessed. Additionally, optimization issues related to the system were addressed during the study. During the optimization process, the operating parameters of the electric drive were adjusted to their most efficient levels, enhancing the quality of ozone production. Various sensors, including current, voltage, and temperature sensors, were used to manage the system's operation. These sensors enabled real-time measurement of the system's operating parameters.

3. Results and Discussions
To create a mathematical model for synthesizing and optimizing the digital control system of the ozonator device's electric drive, the following key elements need to be considered. The input and output variables of the device are: u(t) - control signal (input), y(t) - output signal of the ozonator, e(t) = r(t) − y(t) - error signal, where r(t) is the desired (reference) value. The structural diagram of the ozonator device's control system is presented below in Figure 1.

The necessary equations for creating the model are as follows:
Dynamics of the Electric Drive System:
A simple first-order inertial model can be used to describe the dynamics of the electric drive system (Figure 2):

Where: Tm is the time constant of the electric drive, and Km is the amplification coefficient.

Figure 2. Dynamic Response of the Ozonator Drive System
This graph illustrates the dynamic response of the ozonator device's electric drive system. Initially, the system starts from zero and gradually increases its output value over time. The graph describes an exponential growth, meaning the system stabilizes and reaches a set value after a certain period. This dynamic reflects the inertial nature of the system, indicating that it does not respond immediately to input stimuli but adapts to them over time. The system is stable because it remains in a steady state as time progresses.
However, in some cases, the digital control system can be described in discrete time. If we use the sampling period Ts, the control system can be represented as follows:

Where: u[n] is the control signal at the n - th discrete time; Kp, Ki, Kd are the proportional, integral, and derivative coefficients, respectively.
And when the complete system is given with feedback:

Optimization Criteria for the Model:
-
Transient Process: The system's temporal characteristics (e.g., rise time, settling time, overshoot).
-
System Stability: Ensured through the analysis of amplitude-phase frequency characteristics.
-
Energy Efficiency: Minimizing power consumption.
-
Digital Simulation: The model's parameters can be analyzed and optimized using simulation software like Python, MATLAB, Simulink, or others. In this research, we conducted the study using Python.
Optimization Methods: 1) Gradient Descent - a method for minimizing or maximizing parameters; 2) Genetic Algorithms - used to find the best results.
Thus, by synthesizing the mathematical model of the ozonator device's digital control system for the electric drive, its parameters can be optimized. This model can be used for digital simulation and application in real physical systems.
Analysis of the Research Work: In the scientific research, the structural diagram of the ozonator device's control system was identified. The diagram shows the system's input signal u(t)u(t)u(t) and output signal y(t). Within the system, there is an ozone production process and a feedback mechanism that calculates the error signal e(t). This feedback system is used to detect the control signal error and adjust the system's response accordingly. The diagram visually explains how the overall control system works and how its components interact with each other.
