Flashover of power transmission line insulators is a major threat to the reliable operation of power system. This paper deals with the flashover prediction of polymeric insulators used in power transmission line applications using the novel condition monitoring technique developed by PD signal time-frequency map and neural network technique. Laboratory experiments on polymeric insulators were carried out as per IEC 60507 under AC voltage, at different humidity and contamination levels using NaCl as a contaminant. Partial discharge signals were acquired using advanced ultra wide band detection system. Salient features from the Time-Frequency map and PRPD pattern at different pollution levels were extracted. The flashover prediction of polymeric insulators was automated using artificial neural network (ANN) with back propagation algorithm (BPA). From the results, it can be speculated that PD signal feature extraction along with back propagation classification is a well suited technique to predict flashover of polymeric insulators.

The simulation analyses of a dish solar power system with stirling engine in this study are applied to system performance prediction if four different test sites; Seoul, Pusan and Cheju in Korea, and Naha in Japan. The effects of difference of concentrator type such as monolithic and stretched-membrane construction on system efficiency are also evaluated. The total amount of generated power for a year depends on the site. However the total maximum system efficiency in every site is approximately 16% and there isnt striking difference. It is also found that the maximum collector efficiency of stretched-membrane concentrator is about 3∼15% lower than that of the monolithic type.

This study aims at developing and applying a hybrid model to the wind power prediction (WPP). The hybrid model for a very-short-term WPP (VSTWPP) is achieved through analytical data, multiple linear regressions and least square methods (MLR&LS). The data used in our hybrid model are based on the historical records of wind power from an offshore region. In this model, the WPP is achieved in four steps: 1) transforming historical data into ratios; 2) predicting the wind power using the ratios; 3) predicting rectification ratios by the total wind power; 4) predicting the wind power using the proposed rectification method. The proposed method includes one-step and multi-step predictions. The WPP is tested by applying different models, such as the autoregressive moving average (ARMA), support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN). The results of all these models confirmed the validity of the proposed hybrid model in terms of error as well as its effectiveness. Furthermore, forecasting errors are compared to depict a highly variable WPP, and the correlations between the actual and predicted wind powers are shown. Simulations are carried out to definitely prove the feasibility and excellent performance of the proposed method for the VSTWPP versus that of the SVM, ANN and ARMA models.

최근 태양광에너지는 실시간 태양의 위치를 추적하여 모듈경사각과 이루는 갓을 산정하여 일사량을 보정하는 부분에서 컴퓨팅과의 결합이 확대되고 있다. 태양광 발전은 태양의 위치에 따라 출력변동이 심하고 출력 예측이 어려워 효율적인 전력 생산을 위해서 신재생에너지를 전력계통에 안정적으로 연계할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 실증단지 내 발전단지의 실시간 기상자료 예측값을 이용하여 최종적으로 태양광 발전량 예측값을 산정하는 태양광 발전을 위한 발전량 예측 모델을 분석한다. 태양광 발전량은 태양광 발전기별 모듈특성, 온도 등을 감안하여 보정계수를 입력하고 예측 지역의 위치 경사각을 분석하여 발전량 예측 계산 알고리즘을 통해 최종 발전량을 예측한다. 또한, 제안 모델에서는 실시간 기상청 관측자료와 실시간 중기 예측 자료를 입력 자료로 사용하여 단기 예측 모델을 수행한다.

The correct situation awareness (SA) of operators is important for managing nuclear power plants (NPPs), particularly in accident-related situations. Among the three levels of SA suggested by Ensley, Level 3 SA (i.e., projection of the future status of the situation) is challenging because of the complexity of NPPs as well as the uncertainty of accidents. Hence, several prediction methods using artificial intelligence techniques have been proposed to assist operators in accident prediction. However, these methods only predict short-term plant status (e.g., the status after a few minutes) and do not provide information regarding the uncertainty associated with the prediction. This paper proposes an algorithm that can predict the multivariate and long-term behavior of plant parameters for 2 h with 120 steps and provide the uncertainty of the prediction. The algorithm applies bidirectional long short-term memory and an attention mechanism, which enable the algorithm to predict the precise long-term trends of the parameters with high prediction accuracy. A conditional variational autoencoder was used to provide uncertainty information about the network prediction. The algorithm was trained, optimized, and validated using a compact nuclear simulator for a Westinghouse 900 MWe NPP.

세계적 기후 위기와 저탄소 정책 이행으로 신재생 에너지에 관한 관심이 높아지고 이와 관련된 산업이 증가하고 있다. 이 중에서 태양 에너지는 고갈되지 않고 오염 물질이나 온실가스를 배출하지 않는 대표적인 친환경 에너지로 주목받고 있으며, 이에 따라 세계적으로 태양광 발전 시설 보급이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 태양광 발전은 지리, 날씨와 같은 환경의 영향을 받기 쉬우므로 안정적인 운영과 효율적인 관리를 위해 정확한 발전량 예측이 중요하다. 하지만 변동성이 큰 태양광 발전을 수학적 통계 기술로 정확한 발전량을 예측하는 것은 불가능하다. 이를 위해서 정확하고 효과적인 예측을 위해 딥러닝 기반의 기술에 관한 연구는 필수적이다. 또한, 기존의 딥러닝을 활용한 예측 방식은 장, 단기적인 예측을 나누어 수행하기 때문에 각각의 예측 결과를 얻기 위한 시간이 길어진다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 시계열 특성을 가진 태양광 발전량 데이터를 사용하여 장단기 통합 예측을 수행하기 위해 순환 신경망의 다대다 구조를 활용한다. 그리고 이를 다양한 딥러닝 모델들에 적용하여 학습을 수행하고 각 모델의 결과를 비교·분석한다.

In this study, we introduce the prediction of brake power for low-speed full ships and container carriers using the linear regression and a machine learning approach. The residual resistance coefficient, wake fraction coefficient, and thrust deduction factor are predicted by regression models using the main dimensions of ship and propeller. The brake power of a ship can be calculated by these coefficients according to the 1978 ITTC performance prediction method. The mean absolute error of the predicted power was under 7%. As a result of several validation cases, it was confirmed that the machine learning model showed slightly better results than linear regression.

An anchorage system is essential for most reinforced concrete structures to connect building components. Therefore, the prediction of strength of the anchor is very important issue for safety of the structures themselves as well as structural components. The prediction models in existing design codes are, however, not applicable for large anchors because they are based on the small size anchors with diameters under 50 mm. In this paper, new prediction models for strength of a single anchor, especially the tensile strength of a single anchor, is developed from the experimental results with consideration of size effect. Size effect in the existing models such as ACI or CCD method is based on the linear fracture mechanics which is very conservative way to consider the size effect. Therefore, new models are developed based on the nonlinear fracture mechanics rather than the linear fracture mechanics for more reasonable prediction. New models are proposed by the regression analysis of the experimental results and it can predict the tensile strength of both small and large anchors.

In this study, we designed a data-driven model to predict chlorophyll-a using M5P model tree and extreme learning machine (ELM). The Juksan weir in the Youngsan River has high chlorophyll-a, which is the primary indicator of algal bloom every year. Short-term algal bloom prediction is important for environmental management and ecological assessment. Two models were developed and evaluated for short-term algal bloom prediction. M5P is a classification and regression-analysis-based method, and ELM is a feed-forward neural network with fast learning using the least square estimate for regression. The dataset used in this study includes water temperature, rainfall, solar radiation, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, N/P ratio, and chlorophyll-a, which were collected on a daily basis from January 2013 to December 2016. The M5P model showed that the prediction model after one day had the highest performance power and dropped off rapidly starting with predictions after three days. Comparing the performance power of the ELM model with the M5P model, it was found that the performance power of the 1-7 d chlorophyll-a prediction model was higher. Moreover, in a period of rapidly increasing algal blooms, the ELM model showed higher accuracy than the M5P model.
