Neural Network-Based Actuator Fault Diagnosis for a Non-Linear Multi-Tank SystemISA Interchange
The paper is devoted to the problem of the robust actuator fault diagnosis of the dynamic non-linear systems. In the proposed method, it is assumed that the diagnosed system can be modelled by the recurrent neural network, which can be transformed into the linear parameter varying form. Such a system description allows developing the designing scheme of the robust unknown input observer within H1 framework for a class of non-linear systems. The proposed approach is designed in such a way that a prescribed disturbance attenuation level is achieved with respect to the actuator fault estimation error, while guaranteeing the convergence of the observer. The application of the robust unknown input observer enables actuator fault estimation, which allows applying the developed approach to the fault tolerant control tasks.
Transmission line is one the important compnent in protection of electric power system because the transmission line connects the power station with load centers.
The fault includes storms, lightning, snow, damage to insulation, short circuit fault [1].
Fault needs to be predicted earlier in order to be prevented before it occur
Fault detection of feed water treatment process using PCA-WD with parameter o...ISA Interchange
Feed water treatment process (FWTP) is an essential part of utility boilers; and fault detection is expected for its reliability improvement. Classical principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to FWTPs in our previous work; however, the noises of T2 and SPE statistics result in false detections and missed detections. In this paper, Wavelet denoise (WD) is combined with PCA to form a new algorithm, (PCA- WD), where WD is intentionally employed to deal with the noises. The parameter selection of PCA-WD is further formulated as an optimization problem; and PSO is employed for optimization solution. A FWTP, sustaining two 1000 MW generation units in a coal-fired power plant, is taken as a study case. Its operation data is collected for following verification study. The results show that the optimized WD is effective to restrain the noises of T2 and SPE statistics, so as to improve the performance of PCA-WD algorithm. And, the parameter optimization enables PCA-WD to get its optimal parameters in an auto- matic way rather than on individual experience. The optimized PCA-WD is further compared with classical PCA and sliding window PCA (SWPCA), in terms of four cases as bias fault, drift fault, broken line fault and normal condition, respectively. The advantages of the optimized PCA-WD, against classical PCA and SWPCA, is finally convinced with the results.
A Survey On Real Time State Estimation For Optimal Placement Of Phasor Measur...IJSRD
The traditional methods of security assessment using offline data and SCADA data have become inconsistent for real time operations. The latest and propelled strategy in electric power system used for security assessment is “synchrophasor†measurement technique. The device called Phasor measurement unit (PMU) provides the time stamped data for proper monitoring, control and protection of the power system. PMU measures positive sequence voltage and current time synchronized to within a microsecond. The time synchronization of data is done with the help of timing signals from Global Positioning System (GPS). However, Phasor measurements units cannot be placed on every bus in a network mainly because of economical constraints. In this paper we provide a literature survey of determining the minimum number of Phasor measurement units to be placed in a given network so that the system becomes observable.
Optimization of Power System Problems Methods Algorithms and MATLAB Codes 202...HibaNadhimAmeen
Providing a reliable and secure power and energy system is one of the main
challenges of the new era. The efficient operation of power systems contributes to
decrease in fuel consumption and gas emission, conservation of natural resources,
ensuring sustainability with better planning, and providing cleaner energy. The
evolving modern optimization methods lead to more effective solutions and are
promising for the continuously changing power system management, planning, and
operation. One of the most favored tools of researchers and electric system
developers for power system optimization is MATLAB software. Therefore, there
has been an increased call for sharing the properly developed codes for power
system optimization.

Recent Trends InDigital Differential Protection of Power Transformerijiert bestjournal
Digital protection has several advantages over conventional protection scheme. For protecting
costliest and vital equipment such as transformer, digital schemes have been proposed by several authors in recent
past. This paper throws light on all such efforts and it will help researchers to focus on integrated efforts to protect
transformer in a better and efficient way. Artificial intelligence along with signature and pattern recognition
techniques give much more useful information about happenings in and outside of transformer. Efforts are put by
all concerned with fast, accurate, flexible, reliable and easy to understand scheme of protection. With the advent of
soft computing methods condition monitoring with protection has become on line objective. Keeping all these
state of art techniques of protection, this paper will be a useful resource. Discrimination of several faults external
and internal needs digital signal processing and feature extraction as well. Many algorithms are proposed as
summarized in paper.
Power system static state estimation using Kalman filter algorithmPower System Operation
State estimation of power system is an important tool for operation, analysis and forecasting of electric
power system. In this paper, a Kalman filter algorithm is presented for static estimation of power system state
variables. IEEE 14 bus system is employed to check the accuracy of this method. Newton Raphson load flow study
is first carried out on our test system and a set of data from the output of load flow program is taken as measurement
input. Measurement inputs are simulated by adding Gaussian noise of zero mean. The results of Kalman estimation
are compared with traditional Weight Least Square (WLS) method and it is observed that Kalman filter algorithm is
numerically more efficient than traditional WLS method. Estimation accuracy is also tested for presence of parametric
error in the system. In addition, numerical stability of Kalman filter algorithm is tested by considering inclusion of
zero mean errors in the initial estimates.
Power System Simulation: History, State of the Art, and ChallengesLuigi Vanfretti
This talk will give an overview of power system simulation technology through several decades, aiming to provide an understanding of the modeling philosophy and approach that has lead to the state of the art in (domain specific) power system simulation tools. This historical perspective will contrast the de facto proprietary software development method used by the power engineering community, against the open source development model. Aspects of resistance to change particular to the power system engineering community will be highlighted.
Given this particular context, power system simulation faces enormous challenges to adapt in order to satisfy simulation needs of both cyber-physical and sustainable system challenges. Such challenges will be highlighted during the talk.
There is, however, an opportunity for disruptive change in power system simulation technology emerging for the EU Smart Grid Mandate M/490, which requires "a set of consistent standards, which will support the information exchange (communication protocols and data models) and the integration of all users into the electric system operation." These regulatory aspects will be explained to highlight the importance of collaboration between the power system domain and computer system experts.
Open modeling and simulation standards may have a large role to play in the development of the European Smart Grid which will have to overcome challenges related to the design, operation and control of cyber-physical and sustainable electrical energy systems. To contribute to this role, the KTH SmarTS Lab research group has been applying the standardized Modelica language and the FMI standard for model exchange in order to couple the domain specific data exchange model (CIM) with the powerful and modern simulation technologies developed by the Modelica community. These efforts will be also discussed.

Para completar la imagen, se pidió a las participantes que eligieran una palabra que fuera clave o que las inspirara en su carrera académica: avance, búsqueda, constancia... Estas palabras se muestran en el fondo de las fotografías en colores llamativos, que contrastan con el blanco y negro de los retratos.
La exposición supone un paso más para mejorar la posición de la mujer en la investigación en la US. Conseguir la igualdad de hombres y mujeres es una actuación estratégica dentro de la sociedad, siendo la universidad un ámbito especialmente relevante desde el que se pueden llevar a cabo estas actuaciones. La Universidad de Sevilla tiene un fuerte compromiso en materia de igualdad y un absoluto convencimiento de que crear oportunidades para la igualdad no es solo una cuestión de justicia social, sino que aporta una mejora en el funcionamiento y representa un factor de calidad, modernización y excelencia centrada en las personas.
Las mujeres siguen infrarrepresentadas entre la comunidad científica y tecnológica a pesar de su masiva incorporación a la formación superior. Menos del 30% de las personas científicas que investigan en el mundo son mujeres. La brecha de género en la creación de conocimiento persiste en todo el mundo y se hace necesario seguir trabajando para remover los obstáculos que sustentan esta situación.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Ali Abur obtained his B.S. degree from Orta
Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, Ankara, Turkey in
1979 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The
Ohio State University in 1981 and 1985 re-
spectively. He was a faculty member at Texas
A&M University until November 2005 when
he joined the faculty of Northeastern Universi-
ty where he served as Chair of the Electrical
and Computer Engineering Department until
2013. He is currently a Professor in the same
department with research and educational ac-
tivities mainly in the area of power systems.
He is an IEEE PES Distinguished Lecturer
and a Fellow of the IEEE for his work on
power system state estimation. He co-authored
a book and published widely in IEEE journals
and conferences. He was on the Editorial
Board of IEEE Transactions on Power Sys-
tems and Power Engineering Letters during
1999-2011.

12:00 h. – Seminario: “Detection of
System Disturbances Using Sparsely
Placed Phasor Measurements”.
This talk will cover some applications of
sparse estimation methods to power sys-
tem problems. The common enabling
technology for these applications will be
the phasor measurement units which can
provide voltage and current phasor meas-
urements at sampling rates of 30 times a
second. We will first review the main fea-
tures of these devices and then describe
two power system problems which can be
formulated in such a way that their solu-
tion can be obtained using phasor meas-
urements and sparse estimation methods.
The first application is the identification
of branch outages for grids which are not
fully observable. One example is the
identification of outages in external sys-
tems from which a very limited number
of real-time measurements are typi-
cally available. The problem of line
outage identification will be formu-
lated as a sparse selection problem
and will be solved by a mixed integer
programming algorithm. The second
example is related to fault location in
power grids where synchronized
voltage measurements are sparsely
available at a limited number of bus-
es. It will be shown that the fault
location problem can be formulated
as a sparse regression problem and
then solved using the least absolute
selection and shrinkage operator
(lasso) algorithm. Relationship be-
tween the equivalent current injec-
tions at faulted branch terminals and
the distance to the fault point along
the branch yields a fast and efficient
way to locate faults.

16:00 h. – Seminario: “Linear state
estimation of balanced and unbalanced
systems” .
Exclusive use of phasor measurements
provided by phasor measurement units
(PMU) for static state estimation allows
implementation of simplified and robust
solution algorithms. In this talk we will
first review the state estimation prob-
lem formulation based on conventional
measurements and then show the bene-
fits of using PMU measurements. Two
alternative solution algorithms will then
be presented. These algorithms will be
shown to possess some attractive fea-
tures with respect to computational effi-
ciency as well as robustness against bad
data. In addition, side benefits that im-
pact capability to detect and identify
parameter errors as a result of using
PMU measurements will also be de-
scribed. In addition to the conventional
balanced system solution, it will be
shown that unbalanced operation can
also be monitored using similar algo-
rithms with minimal changes made in
the balanced algorithm.
