Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are being replaced with more sustainable electronic alternatives which offer significant advantages including lower weight, less maintenance and increased reliability. Furthermore, gains can be achieved in operational efficiencies as electrical systems offer more options for re-configurability and solutions can be developed for use within various aircraft functions. This paper presents a Hybrid Power Drive integrated power module for increased sustainability in aircraft systems. Developed by Microchip, it primarily drives various electrical motors, and yet, can be customized to meet specific customer requirements. This flexible solution can accommodate a wide range of commercial aviation actuation systems. The necessity for fully custom products is therefore reduced, providing a more sustainable solution for the next generation of aircraft.","PeriodicalId":434652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132641726","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}

This is because modern power grids need to be monitored/controlled via information and communication technology (ICT). One of the most significant challenges associated with such power networks is the risk of operational issues (e.g., congestion, voltage instability, etc.) as a consequence of stealthy false data injection (FDI) cyberattacks bypassing bad data detection (BDD) algorithms embedded in both DC and AC state estimations. Toward this end, this paper develops a detection framework oriented toward multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks to protect the measurements to be processed by power system operators in the upper level. Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) backpropagation, which is a network training function updating the weight/bias based on LM optimization, is implemented to train the developed neural network (NN). A mean absolute percentage error and mean of squares of the network errors are considered to assess the accuracy of the prediction. The developed feed-forward neural network tracks the measurements (e.g., active and reactive powers, voltage magnitudes, etc.) to find the relationship between them to warn the system operator in case of systematic manipulation in the dataset. The effectiveness of the proposed detection framework is validated on the IEEE 14-bus transmission system and the IEEE 33-bus distribution grid.","PeriodicalId":434652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116070943","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}

For instance, multiple urban studies, such as integrated urban water management (IUWM) and water sensitive urban design (WSUD), discuss the structured management of water, land, and resources for acquiring the most lucrative and societal benefits. However, many rural water infrastructures lack proper planning, coordination, and monitoring. Besides, minimal applied decision making at lower levels misleads to the inefficiency of rural water sources. Research gaps exist in long term water quality testing and continuous monitoring of stored water in rural areas. The current study aims to develop a decentralized system, termed Sustainable Integrated Rural Water Management (SIRWM), for overcoming the challenges plaguing rural areas by utilizing rainwater harvesting (RWH) as the primary source in a study area in Rajasthan, India. The overall setup of the SIRWM targets to diminish over-reliance on groundwater sources in areas facing drought. The study comprises five segments, in the sequential order of survey and data collection, network prioritization, implementation of RWH system using Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools, installation of water filters at households, and collection of real-time feedback through interactive voice response system (IVRS) (an android application) in a selected community of the study area. The integration of all these components results in achieving a robust rural water management.","PeriodicalId":434652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126353166","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}

However, due to the high number of interferences and the high maintenance and operation costs, as well as the possible negative impacts on the environment and traffic, it is not always feasible to use this process, especially in large urban centers. Thus, this article brings to light the study of a new method of allocation of pipelines for underground electricity distribution grids, based on the premise of sharing trenches between low and medium voltage grids, presenting the innovative constructive methods involved and the direct benefits to society and the environment.

The uncertainty of renewable power generation in systems such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine needs to be compensated with balancing devices. The balancing devices can be an Energy Storage System (ESS) or conventional thermal fossil-fuel generators with enhanced flexibility. The uncertainty of renewable generators can be statistically analyzed for cost-effective assessment and operation of those compensating devices. Multiple uncertainty factors can be investigated and modeled as a joint probability distribution function (PDF) considering the temporal correlation among themselves. Several uncertainty factors with different marginal distributions and scales can be integrated as multivariate probability distribution by transforming them into normal distribution using rank correlation. As the number of uncertainty factors considered in a microgrid increases, it leads to much more complexity to in defining the conditional probability distribution generated from a joint PDF. In this paper, a method to model the distribution of net-load forecast error is proposed considering the correlation among uncertainty factors. A data-driven Gaussian process regression is introduced to train and validate conditional PDF among uncertainty factors, which are transformed into normal distribution without losing intrinsic marginal distribution. The conditional density function based on the proposed method has better suitability to estimate distribution of netload error. The conditional density function based on the proposed method shows better suitability for estimation of net load error distribution.","PeriodicalId":434652,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131554953","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}
