Trenchless technologies comparing thrust boring with horizontal directional ...Tobiloba Omitola
Thrust boring and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) are trenchless construction methods for installing underground infrastructure with minimal surface disruption. Thrust boring involves drilling a borehole and inserting a steel casing simultaneously using an auger drill head. It is unsteerable. HDD involves drilling a steerable pilot bore, reaming it to size, and pulling the pipeline back through. Key factors in selecting between the two methods include soil conditions, required accuracy, and ability to steer around underground obstacles. Thrust boring is best for stable soils while HDD allows for navigation and is suitable for longer distances and avoiding existing utilities. Both methods seek to minimize environmental and community impacts compared to traditional trenching.

Directional boring, also known as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a trenchless technique for installing underground utilities that causes minimal environmental impact. It involves drilling a pilot hole and then enlarging the hole to pull cables, pipes, or conduits through. There are four main stages: 1) drilling the pilot hole, 2) enlarging the hole with a back-reamer, 3) preparing and pulling the pipeline through, and 4) documenting the final installed location. HDD is beneficial because it is cheaper than traditional techniques, enables deeper installations, is quicker, avoids the need for access pits, and causes less environmental disruption.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Installation of Pipelines by
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD)

DESIGN GUIDELINES
26. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
History
o HDD –
Innovation of the oil well drilling industry.
o Drill Rig Components Similar –
HDD uses an inclined ramp as opposed to vertical mast.
o Pilot Hole –
Same as drilling directional oil well
(Starts vertical/ends horizontal).
o Tools Interchangeable –
Drill Pipe, downhole tools (cutting heads).
o Drilling Fluid –
Used to transport spoils, reduce friction, stabilize hole, etc.
o Process Similarities –
Process referred to as drilling as
opposed to boring.
27. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
The HDD Process
o Pilot Hole –
Small diameter hole is drilled along a designed drill path.
o Prereaming –
Pilot hole is enlarged to 1.5 times the diameter of the
product pipe.
o Barrel Reaming –
Used for swabbing and cleaning the hole.
o Reaming & Pullback –
Product pipe is attached behind reamer and pulled into
the enlarged hole.
28. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Pilot Hole
o Begins when the bit enters the ground at entry point
o Complete when bit “punches out” at or near exit point
o Progress achieved in soft soils by hydraulic cutting
with jet nozzle
o Progress achieved in rock by mechanical cutting with
mud motor & bit
29. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Directional Control
o Control achieved by non-rotating drill string.
o Steering bias created by bend near the leading edge of the drill
string.
o Change in direction achieved by rolling drill string so that bend
points in desired direction.
o Path calculated using inclination and azimuth readings from
steering tool mounted near bit or from surface monitoring
system (TruTracker®).
o Drill string continually rotated where directional control not
required.
31. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Prereaming
o Conducted to enlarge hole prior to pipe installation
o Reamers attached at exit point, then rotated and pulled
towards the rig to enlarge the hole.
o Reamers consist of circular array of cutters and fluid jets.
o Drill pipe is added behind the reamers as they progress
towards the drill rig.
o Insures pipe string always maintained in the hole.
o Also possible to ream away from the rig.
32. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Reamers
Jet Reamer Rock Cutter
Barrel Reamer Rock Cutter
33. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Pullback
o Prefabricated pipe attached behind reamer at exit point and pulled to rig.
o Swivel/thrust bearing placed between pipe section & reamer to
minimize torsion.
o Pull section supported using combination of roller stands and pipe
handling equipment (sidebooms, cranes, roller cradles) to minimize
tensile forces in pipe.
o Laydown area needed beyond exit point must equal length of drill
for continuous length of prefabricated pipe. Temporary ramps can
be constructed for continuous pipe or split in half and welded prior
to the day of pullback.
35. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Buoyancy Control
o Positive Buoyancy – The weight of the
volume of the fluid displaced by an object is
greater than the dead weight of the object.
o Density of drilling fluid (80-90 lbs/cu.ft.)
greater than water (62.4 lbs/cu.ft)
o Uplift forces for large diameter pipelines can
be substantial.
o Buoyancy control used for pipe 30 inches or
over in diameter.
o Most common control is to fill pipe with water.
36. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Feasibility Considerations
o Technically Feasible –
If it can be installed using existing tools and techniques
regardless of cost.
o Contractually Feasible –
If cost can be accurately estimated to allow contractors
to submit lump sum bids.
o Economically Feasible –
If its installation cost is less than the cost of an
equivalent construction method.
37. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
HDD Feasibility-
Governed by Three Parameters
o Pipe Diameter –
Welded steel pipelines up to 56 inches.
o Length –
Smaller diameter welded steel pipelines up to 7,000 feet.
o Subsurface Material –
Must be able to create open hole in rock or cohesive
soils or fluidized condition in cohesionless soils such
as sand or silt. Coarse grain, excessive rock strength/
hardness (50,000 psi), & solution cavities in bedrock
prevent these two conditions.
38. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Drill Profile Segments
o Entry Point (Rig Side) & Entry Angle – Optimum 10-12 degrees
(Rigs 10-18 degrees)
o Downslope – Min. 30 feet or one drill rod length
o Point of Curvature (P.C.)
o Radius of Curvature – 100 x D Recommended
o Point of Tangent (P.T.)
o Horizontal – Min. 30 feet or one drill rod length
o Point of Curvature (P.C.)
o Radius of Curvature – 100 x D Recommended

Subsurface Material
o Coarse Grained –
Gravel, Cobbles and Boulders cannot be fluidized
for removal nor stable enough for open hole.
Gravel can bind bit.
o Excessive Rock Strength –
May deflect drill string, wear bits, slow drill rates,
resulting in extended construction duration.
o Poor Rock Quality –
Vertical Rock fissures cause fracouts
(drilling fluid surfacing).
44. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Soil Borings
o Intervals –
Provide contractor with as many as possible
(Min. 500’ intervals)!
o Locations –
Use 30-50’ clearance. Borings taken along drill path
centerline can cause Fracouts. Grout if unavoidable.
o Depth –
20 feet below drill path elevation.
o Soil Sampling –
Collect split spoon soil samples @ 5 foot elevations.
45. COMMITMENT & INTEGRITY DRIVE RESULTS
Lab Analysis
o Soil Classification –
Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS) ASTM D 2487.
o Sands/Silts (SW thru OH) –
Only need classification & blow counts.
o Coarse Grained Gravels (GC thru GW) –
Need sieve analysis ASTM D-422.
o Rock –
Compressive strength ASTM D 2938
