Recognizing the critical role of accurate solar irradiance predictions in optimizing the operation of multi-vectored energy hubs, this research integrates NeuralProphet's advanced neural network components, including its trend and seasonality modules, to enhance forecasting accuracy. The innovative integration of NeuralProphet's trend, seasonality, and autoregressive components allows for superior performance in forecasting compared to traditional models. When the model's performance is compared to historical solar irradiance data, it is evident how well it captures underlying trends in comparison to more conventional approaches. In contrast, Dataset 1 has a daily forecast MAE for the model that is about 38.6 % lower than Dataset 2, but Dataset 1 has weekly and monthly forecast MAEs that are 6.25 % and 5.6 % higher, respectively. Better day ahead accuracy is also shown by the daily forecast MAPE for Dataset 1 being 45.1 % lower than for Dataset 2. Furthermore, Dataset 1 has a daily R<sup>2</sup> value of 99.5 %, while Dataset 2 has a value of 99.0 %. This suggests that Dataset 1 has 0.5 % more accurate day ahead forecasts. There is a 0.1 % increase in accuracy as evidenced by the weekly R<sup>2</sup> values for Dataset 1, which is 98.4 %, while Dataset 2 is 98.3 %. The R<sup>2</sup> for monthly projections shows that Dataset 1 has a 0.5 % poorer accuracy over longer time horizons, with 95.6 % for Dataset 1 and 96.1 % for Dataset 2. These results demonstrate the model's potential to optimize the operation of energy hubs by accurately forecasting GHI, contributing to more efficient micro-grid management and a reduction in dependency on fossil fuels. The findings demonstrate that deep learning techniques can be integrated into renewable energy forecasting, offering substantial benefits for the design and management of future energy systems..</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100817"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142535324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Still, existing methods for fault detection face challenges due to load and network topology, conditions, and installed equipment. However, recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are enabling researchers to create alternative approaches for fault detection and location strategies. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel method for detecting, classifying, and locating faults in power systems through voltage waveform analysis using a convolutional neural network (CNN) integrated with the Piecewise Function Put Together (PFPT) algorithm for fault detection and fault zone localization in a power distribution network. Utilizing Park's transformation, noise reduction PFPT sine fitting, and CNNs, the proposed method distinguishes between 'healthy' and 'faulty' conditions. Simulation results reveal that while the voltage Park's vector time behavior of a healthy system remains stable, it exhibits circular or mixed patterns under faulty conditions. These patterns enable the identification of four types of short circuit faults—single-line-to-ground (LG), line-to-line (LL), line-to-line-to-ground (LLG), and three-line (3L) faults—by analyzing 3D voltage Park's waveforms at network buses. The study validates fault type identification through the observation of rotating Park vectors from sine fitting of time-based voltage waveforms. By converting 3D voltage waveforms into high-resolution images, the method utilizes a CNN for fault recognition, achieving an accuracy of 93.1%.

In this work a contact-separation mode based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been used to power the device. TENG uses triboelectric phenomenon to transform mechanical energy into electrical energy. A contact-separation mode TENG operates through the interaction of two triboelectric materials. These materials act as an anode and a cathode, respectively, and develop opposite charges when brought into contact. Upon separation, the charged surfaces retain their individual charges, creating a potential difference between the materials. This difference generates an electrostatic field that drives the flow of electrons from one electrode to the other. As the electrons return, the field collapses, and the materials come back into contact, repeating the cycle. The device has been used to power a heart rate monitoring system. Experimental results demonstrate the output performance and long-term durability of the TENG device.

To enhance the resilience, stability, and security of the power grid, the proposed model in this paper intentionally divides the affected power network into islands. This paper presents an intelligent partitioning approach to create an islanding solution through multilayer graphs using spectral clustering. The controlled islanding algorithm uses a multi-criteria objective function that considers the correlation coefficients among the frequency of the buses and minimal disturbances in the real and reactive power. The proposed control technique is implemented in two phases. The first phase employs correlation coefficients between frequency of the buses and modularity clustering to identify clusters of coherent buses. During the second stage, all nodes are categorised into groups using Multi-level constrained Spectral Clustering (ML-CSC) to determine the solution for Intentional controlled Islanding that satisfies bus coherency with the minimum level of disruptions to real and reactive power flows across the boundaries. The proposed algorithm for resolving the generator coherency issue and an intelligent islanding solution is demonstrated by simulation experiments conducted on an IEEE 39-bus transmission test system developed in DIGSILENT Powerfactory version 2023.

This work developed a hexapod, a six-legged robotic system, to overcome these identified challenges. The robot was developed in tandem with a telemetry system for surveillance. Although, automating the surveillance process using robotic systems has been in the works for some time.
