For this sake, this work was developed as a reliable diagnostic tool for wind turbines to improve wind power stability accordingly. A convolutional extension neural network (CENN) was proposed to identify vibration and audio signals captured from a gearbox. According to the status of the contained faulty gears, a gearbox was categorised as one of the three types: (i) broken, (ii) rusty and (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii). It was further assigned one of the three severity levels: mild, moderate and severe. Therefore, there were a total of nine combinations for identification. Captured raw vibration and audio signals were applied to a chaotic synchronisation detector by which 3D chaotic error scatter feature images were generated to train and test the CENN. The recognition rate provided by CENN and the majority rule reached 99.6%, and then slightly fell to 97.4% in a noise robustness test, and consequently CENN outperformed counterparts in terms of the recognition rate and the robustness against noise. Accordingly, multiple gearbox faults can be well diagnosed for the first time in the literature. Finally, this paper concludes with a simplified version of the original proposal.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"48 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141693393","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, the weights in ensemble prediction models are usually preset based on the overall performance after training, which prevents the model from adapting in the face of different scenarios, limiting the improvement of prediction performance. In order to improve the accurateness and validity of the ensemble prediction method further, this paper proposes an ensemble deep reinforcement learning approach using Q‐learning dynamic weight assignment to consider local behaviours caused by changes in the external environment. Firstly, the variational mode decomposition is used to reduce the non‐stationarity of the original data by decomposing the load sequence. Then, the recurrent neural network (RNN), long short‐term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) are selected as the basic power load predictors. Finally, the optimal weights are ensembled for the three sub‐predictors by the optimal weights generated using the Q‐learning algorithm, and the final results are obtained by combining their respective predictions. The results show that the forecasting capability of the proposed method outperforms all sub‐models and several baseline ensemble forecasting methods.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"10 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141703502","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}

When the generated power of the renewable resources is less than the required load, the energy storage systems can help to compensate all or part of the power shortage. In the current study, a stand‐alone micro grid including wind and tidal turbines, PV systems, batteries and fuel‐based generation units is considered to supply the required load of the micro grid. The generated power of each dispatch‐able generation units is determined in such a way as to minimize the operating cost. In the operating cost of the micro grid, the operating cost of the fuel‐based generation units and the reliability cost associated to the penalty of the curtailed loads are considered. To calculate the reliability cost of the micro grid, a comprehensive reliability evaluation of the micro grid considering the resource‐dependent failure rates for all composed components is performed.

However, although a DSA model can be trained well for a specific topology, it often does not perform well for other topologies. Since the topology in real‐world power systems is frequently changing, the performance reduction of DL‐based DSA methods is very serious, which is a challenging and urgent problem. This paper proposes a novel DSA method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) to solve this problem. In the proposed method, a strong yet simple domain adaptation approach named adaptive batch normalization (AdaBN) is used, which significantly enhances the extensibility and generalizability of the DSA model when the topology changes and eliminates the need to train a large number of models. This approach achieves a deep adaptation effect by modulating the statistics from the source domain to the target domain in all batch normalization layers across the model. Unlike other domain adaptation methods, this method is parameter‐free, requires no additional components, and has advanced performance despite its simplicity. In addition, this paper introduces TGAN‐based data augmentation to deal with the difficulty of costly data collection and labelling. This data augmentation makes the proposed model applicable to small databases. The test results of the proposed method on IEEE 39‐bus and IEEE 118‐bus systems show that this method can evaluate system dynamic security during topology changes and in the face of data noise with high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"45 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141697975","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}

To apply this approach to a working transformer, the magnitude of the response current needs to be measured by using Rogowski coil sensors across a load current. The saturation of the power frequency magnetic field in these current sensors must be prevented to ensure accurate measurement of such small response currents. Here, a method is presented to suppress the power frequency magnetic field using a sensing system including a special connection of three‐phase current sensors based on the sum of the three‐phase power frequency load currents of the transformer being close to zero. Each sensor comprises two secondary coils: a measuring coil and an anti‐saturation coil. The anti‐saturation coils are connected in parallel with one another through small inductors to eliminate the power frequency magnetic field in the cores of the sensors. Theoretical analysis is used to derive a solution for this system. The experimental results verify the proposed method as enabling the sensors to function with a transformer carrying a load current of 2333 A.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141850516","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}
