While IFD-based deep learning and multi-sensor fusion offer promising solutions, challenges remain in integrating heterogeneous data and managing computational complexity. Transfer learning from pre-trained models can mitigate these issues, particularly with limited labeled datasets common in industrial applications. However, integrating transfer learning with multi-sensor fusion for diagnosing complex fault scenarios, especially combined bearing defects under varying operational conditions, remains underexplored in current research. This paper proposes a novel multi-sensor fusion approach for bearing fault diagnosis that combines vibration and acoustic signals within a transfer learning framework. Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is applied to multi-sensor inputs, and the resulting wavelet coefficients are fused using the Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy Ratio (ME-to-SER) criterion to fine-tune pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on the Spectra Quest Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS) across various bearing fault scenarios, including combined faults, under variable speeds. The proposed approach achieves high accuracy (up to 100%) using multi-modal fused data, outperforming single-modality methods. It excels in complex fault classification and maintains robustness under various operational conditions. The fusion approach efficiently handles heterogeneous data to enhance diagnostic reliability, whereas transfer learning effectively addresses limited labeled datasets and reduces the computational burden of training deep CNNs from scratch.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 101025"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144240974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem is formulated as a mixed-integer second-order cone stochastic model with an objective function that minimizes the investment costs of purchasing and installing D-STATCOMs, wind turbines, photovoltaic systems, and small hydropower plants, as well as the expected value of energy purchase cost by the distribution company. A two-stage stochastic programming formulation addresses uncertainties in electrical demand, energy prices, wind-based distributed generation, solar-based distributed generation, and small hydropower-based distributed generation. Stochastic scenarios are generated using the k-means clustering technique. Moreover, a relaxed convex model is proposed to reduce the number of candidate nodes for installation, significantly improving computational efficiency while ensuring optimality. The proposed methodology’s accuracy, efficiency, and robustness are validated on two benchmark distribution systems with 70 and 136 nodes, respectively. The results demonstrate that the simultaneous integration of distributed renewable generators and D-STATCOMs effectively reduces operational costs and energy losses, achieving a loss reduction of 42.3% and 13.6% for the 70-node and 136-node test systems, respectively, while enhancing voltage regulation and improving the loading of network components. Furthermore, the model estimates the cost reductions required for solar and wind technologies to become economically viable under uncertainty, providing a practical tool for policymakers to design effective financial incentives.

An often overlooked sector in this context is the healthcare sector. This is particularly significant because hospitals play a crucial role in sustainability. On the one hand, climate change poses the greatest global health threat of the 21<sup>st</sup> century. Hospitals will inevitably face increasing challenges due to climate change, such as the emergence of new pathogens or if extreme heat exacerbates preexisting cardiovascular conditions, leading to more health complications. On the other hand, hospitals are energy-intensive and significantly contribute to climate change. In Germany, the healthcare sector accounts for 5.2 percent of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, with hospitals being a major source. The need for energy-efficient modernization in hospitals is urgent, especially since they are part of our critical infrastructure. Ensuring their energy supply, even in crises, is vital for a resilient and independent energy system. Given the importance of climate protection in the healthcare sector, this article analyses which strategies hospitals should pursue to achieve climate protection targets and which measures should be prioritized. In addition, the analysis includes an estimation of the associated costs, providing a basis for understanding the financial implications of climate mitigation efforts in hospital settings. Through stakeholder workshops and a narrative literature review, we have identified 10 suitable climate protection measures for the hospital sector.

This reduction results in rapid changes in the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), heightening the risk of grid instability. Accurate inertia forecasting is essential for ensuring grid stability, particularly in systems such as the Great Britain (GB) power system, where inertia levels occasionally fall below critical thresholds. However, most traditional and online estimation techniques provide reactive inertia assessments, limiting their effectiveness for proactive grid management. Moreover, existing machine learning (ML)-based models primarily focus on either short-term or long-term forecasting and are often trained on limited datasets, which undermines their robustness and generalisation capabilities. Critically, these models do not prioritise the detection of low-inertia events, which are key moments requiring swift action from grid operators to maintain system stability. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel hybrid deep learning neural network (DLNN) model that integrates bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) and bidirectional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) architectures to effectively learn complex temporal dependencies in power system dynamics. The model is benchmarked against baseline architectures, including Bi-LSTM, Bi-GRU, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
