A continuous and reliable supply of electricity is necessary for the functioning of today’s modern and advanced society. Since the early to mid1980s, most of the effort in power systems analysis has turned away from the methodology of formal mathematical modelling which came from the areas of operations research, control theory and numerical analysis to the less rigorous and less tedious techniques of artificial intelligence (AI). Power systems keep on increasing on the basis of geographical regions, assets additions, and introduction of new technologies in generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. AI techniques have become popular for solving different problems in power systems like control, planning, scheduling, forecast, etc. These techniques can deal with difficult tasks faced by applications in modern large power systems with even more interconnections installed to meet the increasing load demand. The application of these techniques has been successful in many areas of power system engineering.

Three-phase induction motors are the “workhorses” of industry and are the most widely used electrical machines. This paper presents a scheme for Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI). The proposed approach is a sensor-based technique using the mains current measurement. Current sensors are widespread in power converters control and in electrical drives. Thus, to ensure continuous operation with reconfiguration control, a fast sensor fault detection and isolation is required. In this paper, a new and fast faulty current sensor detection and isolation is presented. It is derived from intelligent techniques.

Fuzzy Logic Method in SCADA to Optimize Network Electric Power Smart GridIJRESJOURNAL
Abstract: Smart grid is one of the solutions in terms of distribution of electricity to make it more effective and reliable. One of the main functions of the smart grid is to provide an important role in maintaining the reliability of electricity supply. Some sections in the smart grid include existing equipment at the site and the central computer. In order to convey the data from the site plant to the central computer, it needs a smart grid instrument controllers like SCADA. SCADA has a role to monitor, control, and communicate in two-ways between equipment on the site plant and the central computer. In SCADA systems, we often experience difficulty in obtaining data such as uncertainty of data and non-precision data. Then a method to overcome it is needed. In this study, Fuzzy Logic is used to detect network conditions toward the aspects of loading and the interference of overcurrent. Using four input variables with three and four linguistic value and four output variable with two linguistic value has resulted in eighty one rule base. Identification of faults was conducted by how big the DC voltage and the current. Once validated by SCADA systems and the use of Fuzzy Logic, we obtained 97.53% of the perfection of the system.
In today's era of advanced technology, Artificial Intelligence has been proven as a boon for various fields. Utilization of AI in power system is the need of upcoming future.

AC drives are employed in process industries for varying applications resulting in a wide range of ratings. The entire process industry has seen a paradigm shift from manual to automated systems. The major factor contributing to this is the advanced power electronics technology enabling power electronic drives for smooth control of electric motors. Induction motors are most commonly used in industries. Faults in the power electronic circuits may occur periodically. These faults often go unnoticed as they rarely cause a complete shutdown and the fault levels may not be large enough to lead to a breakdown of the drive. An early detection of these faults is required to prevent their escalation into major faults. The diagnostic tool for detection of faults requires real time monitoring of the entire drive. In this work, detailed investigation of different faults that can occur in the power electronic circuit of an industrial drive is carried out. Analysis and impact of faults on the performance of the induction motor is presented. A real time monitoring platform is proposed to detect and classify the fault accurately using machine learning. A diagnostic tool also is developed to display the severity and location of the fault to the operator to take corrective measures.
ENHANCEMENT OF POWER SYSTEM SECURITY USING PSO-NR OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUEIAEME Publication
Maintaining power system security is one of the challenging tasks for the power system engineers. The security assessment is an essential task as it gives the knowledge about the system state in the event of a contingency. Contingency analysis technique is being widely used to predict the effect of outages like failures of equipment, transmission line etc., and to take necessary actions to keep the power system secure and reliable. The off line analysis to predict the effect of individual contingency is a tedious task as a power system contains large number of components. Practically, only selected contingencies will lead to severe conditions in power system.

Efficient decentralized iterative learning tracker for unknown sampled data i...ISA Interchange
In this paper, an efficient decentralized iterative learning tracker is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the unknown controllable and observable sampled-data interconnected large-scale state-delay system, which consists of NN multi-input multi-output (MIMO) subsystems, with the closed-loop decoupling property. The off-line observer/Kalman filter identification (OKID) method is used to obtain the decentralized linear models for subsystems in the interconnected large-scale system. In order to get over the effect of modeling error on the identified linear model of each subsystem, an improved observer with the high-gain property based on the digital redesign approach is developed to replace the observer identified by OKID. Then, the iterative learning control (ILC) scheme is integrated with the high-gain tracker design for the decentralized models. To significantly reduce the iterative learning epochs, a digital-redesign linear quadratic digital tracker with the high-gain property is proposed as the initial control input of ILC. The high-gain property controllers can suppress uncertain errors such as modeling errors, nonlinear perturbations, and external disturbances (Guo et al., 2000) [18]. Thus, the system output can quickly and accurately track the desired reference in one short time interval after all drastically-changing points of the specified reference input with the closed-loop decoupling property.

In the field of electrical network, it is necessary, under different conditions, to learn about the behavior of the system. Power Flow Analysis is the tool per excellent that allow as to make a deep study and define all quantities of each bus of the system. To determine power flow analysis there is a lot of methods, we have either numerical or intelligent techniques. Lately, researchers always work on finding intelligent methods that allow them to solve their complex problems. The goal of this article is to compare two intelligent methods that are capable of predicting quantities; artificial neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system using real electrical networks. To do that we used few significant discrepancies. These methods are characterized by giving results in real time. To make this comparison successful, we implemented these two methods, to predict the voltage magnitudes and the voltage phase angles, on two Moroccan electrical networks. The results of the comparison show that the method of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system have more advantages than the method of artificial neural network.
SYNCHROPHASOR DATA BASED INTELLIGENT ALGORITHM FOR REAL TIME EVENT DETECTION ...IAEME Publication
The wide area measurement system (WAMS) has been installed at several locations in power system. Phasor measurements units (PMU) are considered as the building blocks of WAMS are being installed at various locations of power system. PMU is sending very large volume of data to Power system control center with the sampling rate of 50 or 25 samples per second. However there are always several events per day occurring in the system but the rate at which data is received and the volume of data to be analyzed is a big challenge for power system engineer. There is a need for developing an intelligent system to handle large volume of Synchrophasor data and identify Power system event in the present context. This paper presents an intelligent algorithm to automatically detect such events using wide area measurements in real time. In this work, Synchrophasor measurements received from PMU are fed to KNN based pattern recognition algorithm which is used to identify the Power system events. The severity and the type of the event can be judged through the change in voltage magnitude and phase angle at various buses. The developed algorithm is tested for IEEE 14 bus system and results are verified.
Predictive maintenance of rotational machinery using deep learningIJECEIAES
This paper describes an implementation of a deep learning-based predictive maintenance (PdM) system for industrial rotational machinery, built upon the foundation of a long short-term memory (LSTM) autoencoder and regression analysis. The autoencoder identifies anomalous patterns, while the latter, based on the autoencoder’s output, estimates the machine’s remaining useful life (RUL). Unlike prior PdM systems dependent on labelled historical data, the developed system doesn’t require it as it’s based on an unsupervised deep learning model, enhancing its adaptability. The paper also explores a robust condition monitoring system that collects machine operational data, including vibration and current parameters, and transmits them to a database via a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) network. Additionally, the study demonstrates the integration of this PdM system within a web-based framework, promoting its adoption across various industrial settings. Tests confirm the system's ability to accurately identify faults, highlighting its potential to reduce unexpected downtime and enhance machinery reliability.

In this paper, we propose a fully automated machine learning based forecasting system, called Photovoltaic Power Forecasting (PVPF) tool, that applies optimised neural networks algorithms to real-time weather data to provide 24 hours ahead forecasts for the power production of solar photovoltaic systems installed within the same region. This system imports the real-time temperature and global solar irradiance records from the ASU weather station and associates these records with the available solar PV production measurements to provide the proper inputs for the pre-trained machine learning system along with the records’ time with respect to the current year. The machine learning system was pre-trained and optimised based on the Bayesian Regularization (BR) algorithm, as described in our previous research, and used to predict the solar power PV production for the next 24 hours using weather data of the last five consecutive days. Hourly predictions are provided as a power/time curve and published in real-time at the website of the renewable energy center (REC) of Applied Science Private University (ASU). It is believed that the forecasts provided by the PVPF tool can be helpful for energy management and control systems and will be used widely for the future research activities at REC.

Linear regression and R-squared correlation analysis on major nuclear online...IJECEIAES
The primary cooling system is an integral part of a nuclear reactor that maintains reactor operational safety. It is essential to investigate the effects of the cooling system parameter before implementing predictive maintenance techniques in the reactor monitoring system. This paper presents a linear regression and R-squared correlation analysis of the nuclear plant cooling system parameter in the TRIGA PUSPATI Reactor in Malaysia. This research examines the primary cooling system's temperature, conductivity, and flow rate in maintaining the nuclear reactor. Data collection on the primary coolant system has been analyzed, and correlation analysis has been derived using linear regression and R-squared analysis. The result displays the correlation matrix for all sensors in the primary cooling system. The R-squared value for TT5 versus TT2 is 89%, TT5 versus TT3 is 94%, and TT5 against TT4 is 66% which shows an excellent correlation to the linear regression. However, the conductivity sensor CT1 does not correlate with other sensors in the system. The flow rate sensor FT1 positively correlates with the temperature sensor but does not correlate with the conductivity sensor. This finding can help to better develop the predictive maintenance strategy for the reactor monitoring program.

Abstract: With the advent of predictive maintenance (maintenance) in 1980, dramatic changes were happened in
maintenance planning of equipment. As predictive maintenance is depended on failure prediction of equipment in
use, this approach requires using many tools and equipment, including Artificial Intelligence techniques such as
neural networks. Thermal power plant activity is among industries that maintenance costs are important for them
and using predictive maintenance has economic justification. Thermal power plant function is so that any failure in
each subsystem will suspend power generation and will cause more costs. In this study, predicting failure in thermal
power plant sub- systems is based on Perceptron multilayer network model with levenberg marquardt algorithm. For
this purpose, thermal power plant 500 MW manufactured by Siemens Co, in East Iran has been considered as case
study. Study results show that the model has prediction ability of MSE=0.1877 mean squared error in predicting
failure time of equipment according to environment conditions that makes easy predictive maintenance planning in
terms of visit numbers and required services and timely procurement of parts and storage costs.

1. Introduction:
Machine failure happen when one component,
structure or system cannot reach planned aim.
Maintenance includes planned activities that make
acceptable systems [2]. Preventive maintenance
included prevention based on time until 1970 and was
based on services and basic maintenance. With the
continuous expansion of awareness and TPM since
1970, continuous expansion of equipment technical
conditions was begun. In 1980, predictive maintenance
or maintenance based on conditions or equipment status
replaced preventive maintenance. Predictive
maintenance plays important role in TPM as it identifies
their status using new methods of examining technical
conditions of equipment at the time of operation by
identifying depreciation signs or possibility of imminent
failure. Predictive maintenance includes continuous
collection and interpretation of data related to
production conditions and the main component
operation of the equipment, failure prediction and
identifying appropriate maintenance strategies [2]. In
recent years, artificial intelligent networks have been
used in pattern identification applications and failure
detection issues; one advantage of using artificial
intelligent networks is the ability to identify patterns
that are imprecise. This study is for implementation of
neural networks in predictive maintenance of Plants.
Some researchers have studied the function of
neural networks in identifying failure. Wangand Knapp
has studied on Backpropagation neural network
application in CNC machine failure detection using
oscillatory data. Becraft and Lee have studied
development of Artificial Intelligent system as a mean
for detecting failure in chemical process factories with

provided a real time neural network based on status
control system for mechanical equipment circulation, in
this study, another type of neural network has been used
named ARTMAP that has been developed by Karpenter
et. Al in 1992, in this method, network training is a
combination of training with supervisor and training
without supervisor. Also, in this model, new
information on machine status are controlled
consistently by oscillatory data. Lucifredi, Mazzieri and
Mrossi compared two Multiple Linear Regression
statistical methods and one developed method called
dynamic kriging technique and neural networks in order
to recognize the best technique for control and supervise
systems. The study results show ineffectiveness of
statistical methods in getting an optimal response.
Combining these methods with neural network is
effective in predicting optimal maintenance time.
In this study, Perceptron multilayer neural
networks are used on data that have been collected over
2 years daily. Then results are analyzed. Excel, Matlab,
Spss and other similar software are used for data
analysis and DCS system is used for data collection.
This information include measured amount by accurate
tool sensors, equipment failure and its date.

dynamic systems that transform hidden rule or
knowledge beyond data into network structure by
patterning from neural system function and human brain
through processing on experimental data and solve
complex problems relying on learning ability and
parallel processing [15].
1-3- Neural networks
Neural networks can be called electronics models
that are made from human brain neural structure.
Learning and training mechanism of brain is based on
experimentation. Electronics models of natural neural
networks are based on this pattern, and the way of
dealing with problem by these methods is different from
calculation methods by computer systems.
Neural network is made of many neural cells with
great and continuous processing that is used in parallel
solving of problems. Neural networks learn through
examples. They are not planned for a special task.
Examples must be selected with high accuracy or
network maybe created incompletely. Here there is no
way to understand that a system is failures unless an
error occurs. An artificial network is a set of neurons,
however artificial neurons work like vital neurons; thus,
it takes different inputs with many weights and
produces an output that is depended on input [16].
When a neural network is made of putting so many
neurons beside each other, we will have a network that
its behavior is depended on b and w in addition to f
output function. In such a great network, many b and m
parameters must be quantified by network designer
[12].

51
This process is known as learning process in
neural networks terminology. In fact, in a real
experiment when input signals of a great network are
connected, network designer trains network through
measuring output and selecting b and w parameters that
desired output is obtained. When such a network was
trained per a set of inputs for creating desired outputs,
we can use it to solve a problem including a
combination of inputs.
2- Perceptron neural network method application
Procedure
In this method, firstly, input values are normalized.
For this purpose, data are transformed; so that data are
in [L, H] distance. This is done using below equation:
Eq. 1
Where
Eq.2
In above equation, L and H are low and high
boundaries of normalization distance and are considered
0 and 1, respectively. Xmin and Xmax are the minimum
and maximum values of Xi, respectively, that above
equation can be simplified as below.
Eq. 3
For each number related to a special variable, a
weight according to the least error is given so that this
variable is applied in associative sub system, then the
sum of all variables are added for each status. Weights
must be so that their sum equals to 1.
Eq. 4
Where w1+w2+…+wn=1
Then an artificial neural network for example
according to Fig. 2 is designed in Matlab software, so
that the best weight creates the least error. The process
of using this method is shown in 3 Fig.

study results)
Fig. 3: implementation process of multilayer Perceptron
neural network method (Resource: study results)
Levenberg-marguardt training method is used for
training multilayer Perceptron neural network. In this
method, input data are as weighted sum of normalized
numbers and output function is each system failure. The
mean square errors index (Eq. 5) shows error
magnitude, also, root mean square error or root mean
square deviation (Eq. 6) is the difference between
predicted amount by model or statistical estimator and
real amount [13].

4- Conclusion
Using neural network method and studying results,
it was found that we can predict failure rate per
effective inputs on system failure with acceptable
percent of error prediction in all five systems’ power
plant equipment (The maximum mean square error of
MSE= 0.1877). Predicting equipment failure, we can
estimate human resources, needed tools for equipment
maintenance and number of services before failure and
then used these parameters in maintenance planning. As
a result, using neural network methods positively effects
on planning gas power plant maintenance.
