The predominant approach relies on the cumulative sum operator, a knowledge-based technique that requires a well-characterized shape and extensive empirical experience. In this work, we propose a paradigm for data-driven modelling that simultaneously learns the structures of grey forecasting models and estimates the measurement noise at each observation. First, in the context of a state-space framework utilizing the integral representation of the grey model as a state equation, a candidate feature library is designed to explicitly depict the model equation, likely in a redundant form, and solved by sparse learning. Then, by combining signal-noise decomposition and time-stepping constraints, a regularized objective function is formulated to jointly learn model structure and noise. Next, large-scale simulations are designed to investigate the finite sample performance of the proposed method, including model structural identification accuracy, forecasting accuracy, and denoising capability. The results demonstrate high accuracy in model structure learning and robustness to measurement noise. Finally, we conduct fatigue testing on aircraft lap joints to collect crack propagation data. The proposed method is then applied to uncover dynamic patterns in the evolution of fatigue cracks and predict the remaining useful life of aircraft lap joint structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144059058","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}

Deep reinforcement learning algorithms provide potential solutions for intercepting maneuvering targets of speed advantage, but they are greatly hindered by policy training inefficiency. To address these limitations, we propose a novel event-triggered deep reinforcement learning (ETDRL) algorithm along with an event-triggered training and time-triggered execution (ETTE) framework. The ETTE framework reformulates the agent-environment interaction as an event-triggered Markov decision process (ETMDP) model, where the agent updates its action only when the environment state meets a specific event triggering condition, otherwise maintaining the previous behavior between events. As a result, this approach significantly accelerates policy training by reducing the total number of decision steps required during the learning phase. To mitigate the potential degradation in control performance caused by the event-triggered mechanism, the ETTE framework enables well-trained policies to be executed with a fixed decision interval, that is, in a time-triggered way. Based on the proposed method, an ETDRL guidance law is developed for intercepting maneuvering targets of speed advantage under constraints of limited maneuverability, large initial heading error, and bearings-only measurement. By following the design principle of nullifying the line-of-sight angular rate to establish a collision course with the target, we model the guidance problem as an ETMDP. The twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is utilized to train the ETDRL guidance law. Numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed ETDRL method over DRL algorithms in terms of policy training efficiency, while also highlighting its enhanced guidance performance over traditional methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144047279","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 event has a major impact on the stability of the power grid. The recent research has been mainly concentrated on identifying the parameters of sub-synchronous oscillation. Sub/Super synchronous oscillations (Sub/Sup-SO) simultaneously occur, increasing the difficulty in accurately identify the parameters of SO. This work presents a novel method for parameter identification that effectively handles the Sub/Sup-SO components by utilizing the Rife-Vincent window and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) simultaneously. To mitigate the impact of spectral leakage and the fence effect of DFT, we integrate the tri-spectral interpolation algorithm with the Rife-Vincent window. We use the instantaneous data of the phasor measurement unit (PMU) to identify Sub/Sup-SO-related parameters (Sub/Sup-SO damping ratio, frequency, amplitude and phase). First, the spectrum of the Sub/Sup-SO signals is analyzed after incorporating the Rife-Vincent window, and the characteristics of the Sub/Sup-SO signal are determined. Then, the signal spectrum is identified using a three-point interpolation algorithm, and the damping ratio, amplitude, frequency, and phase of the Sub/Sup-SO signals are obtained. In addition, we consider the identification accuracy of the algorithm under various complex conditions, such as the effect of Sub/Sup-SO parameter variations on parameter identification in the presence of a non-nominal frequency and noise. The proposed algorithm accurately identifies the parameters of multiple Sub/Sup-SO components and two Sub-SO components that are in close proximity.

The Rayleigh scattering signal denoising, and vibration existence judgment of localization points are carried out to obtain the differentiated frequency demodulation results of the sensing points of the dual-core fiber array. Then a fault-tolerant control strategy is used to determine the sensor weight coefficients and vibration judgment coefficients during data fusion processing, and array data fusion is carried out based on time series data using Kalman filter to realize error value identification and filling.
