The Crowsnest Fire in 2003 burned over 20,000 hectares of forest land, severely impacting the local lumber and tourism industries. A woman was forced to immediately evacuate her home with few possessions as the fast-moving fire approached. She watched from a safe distance as the fire consumed the landscape, feeling both masochistic and unable to look away from the destruction. While the fire devastated the area, leaving it black and appearing devoid of life, it created conditions for new, more diverse undergrowth to develop going forward, potentially increasing the region's ecological diversity.

1) High vibration was detected in the structure of a large boiler and associated buildings, which was traced to resonance with nearby coal mills operating at 7.8Hz.
2) Attempts to balance the mills were not practical, so dynamic vibration absorbers were designed and installed to tune the structure to a different frequency range, successfully reducing the vibration.
3) Future plant designs incorporated vibration isolating foundations for each mill to prevent structural resonance from occurring.
Ray Beebe has over 50 years of experience in power generation and condition monitoring of steam turbines. He discusses several case studies where condition monitoring helped identify issues in steam turbines. Condition monitoring techniques like vibration analysis, performance analysis of parameters like valve output, stage pressures and enthalpy drop efficiency can help detect problems like blade deposits or damage. The case studies show how condition monitoring helped detect issues and schedule repairs before further degradation occurred. Mr. Beebe emphasizes that condition monitoring data should be used to only open turbines for repair when there are clear technical and economic reasons to do so.
Ray Beebe has learned many lessons over 45 years of condition monitoring experience:
1) Simple instruments and approaches can identify many issues, like finding a loose rubber bung caused erratic vibration.
2) Regularly review monitoring procedures to check if they are still needed, can be simplified, or test intervals extended.
3) Specialist test equipment requires full-time skilled operators to regularly maintain and use equipment properly.
A power station was experiencing annoying low frequency vibrations that caused glassware to vibrate and crash to the floor in the chem lab and shake the control room, disturbing operators. The vibrations occurred at around 8Hz and were found to be caused by coal mills that rotated at the same frequency, resonating with the steel structure of the building. Vibration absorbers using scrap mass and compression springs were installed and tuned to the structure's natural frequency, reducing vibrations to a non-problematic level. The absorbers solved the problem and remained effective for years without further issues.
This document discusses how to optimize energy usage in pumps through condition monitoring techniques. Pumps use 25% of the world's motor-driven electricity, or around 6.5% of global electricity production. Condition monitoring can detect degradation in bearings, casing wear, misalignment, and internal wear in impellers and seals. Performance analysis by measuring head-flow curves is particularly useful for detecting internal wear and optimizing the timing of pump overhauls to balance repair costs and wasted energy. The document provides examples of using performance analysis on boiler feed pumps to schedule optimal overhaul times that minimize total costs.

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.
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%.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Educational drivers summary
12. Observations
People in reliability have a wide variety of educational
backgrounds and experience.
Reliability: a job people “move” into, not an early career choice
Few of the skills used by reliability engineers are taught in BEs.
Many reliability professionals do targeted education in the form
of university-coordinated postgraduate studies, vendor- supplied
or institution organised training.
Lots of engineers, but relatively few have undertaken PG
reliability education

34. STORIES OF SOME CAREER OUTCOMES
Some comments noted over the years from
students/graduates
Most from around Australia, but also in every
continent (OK, not Antarctica!)
Monash Uni – but similar feedback would be
expected from other courses
Wordy slides, but kept as they are worth reading
35.
36.
37. A
My Grad Dip gave me the framework to understand
in depth how a large maintenance department
should run and the confidence to stand up there
and tell it how it is!
Set me up for a career in helping organisations
close the gap.
(Set up own company).
38. B NEW STUDENT IN THE UK: BEFORE
Have spent a fair bit of time over the last few
months looking (and speaking with course
coordinators) at eg xxxxxxx uni, yyyyyyyy Uni (only
35 miles from my home so would've been ideal)
and zzzzzzzz Uni who all do something
similar. However, not wishing to be patronising
their modules did not seem as interesting, courses
were less flexible and the universities were not as
highly ranked (not even close) in global terms as
Monash. In addition, their course coordinators were
not as helpful- costs were all much of a muchness
though.
39. B ...AND AFTER….
….has been of huge worth ….
… accountants need to be made aware of potential
pitfalls that they can make… could lead to the demise of
the organisation. It needs good solid engineering
arguments with a knowledge of life-cycle costing to
make this clear to all and MRE gave me the mix
between engineering and management required in
modern industries or with hi-tech assets.
Being qualified in a subject that the organisation has
bought into (my manager was my project sponsor) led to
him taking a deeper look at the subject and ultimately
gave him faith in me and what I'm qualified to provide.
The number of positions I have been offered since
receiving the Master’s degree has been incredible
40. C THE OAM…
“For meritorious service in the fields of Marine
Engineering and Engineering Management”
Captain XXXX has been an outstanding advocate
of technical excellence and engineering reform over
a long period, and he took the initiative in
addressing systemic weaknesses and commencing
correction action of cultural deficiencies in the
maintenance of the Fleet’s aging Amphibious and
Afloat Support ships. He worked tirelessly to
improve engineering standards and took a leading
role in initiating the reinvigoration of consistently
correct maintenance approaches in the Fleet.
41. D
I have been offered a job with another company as
a reliability manager. It would not be fair to not give
any credit for this opportunity to the Monash MRE
program. This program more than prepared me for
the interview and we had a good candid discussion
about where they are and where they need to go.
I'm very much appreciative to you and Monash for
this program.
42. E
The presentation was given to my planning team
yesterday afternoon and some actions have been
planned to be taken as a result of the presentation.
Planners showed great interest in the topics and
the presentation did turn out to be a very
contributive and useful to the operation of
maintenance planning office. Thanks a lot!
(Feedback on work done for an assessed
assignment)
43. F
I have found the unit (indeed all four units) that I
have undertaken in the Maintenance Management
program to have been of real value within my job
role as a maintenance practitioner.
Thanks for the level of feedback on previous
assignments from this and other units. Not an
experience I'm used to after studying at xxxxxx
xxxxx. Greatly appreciated.
44. G
This assignment asked me to provide a policy and a
manual for “your organization”. I work at the xxxx
refinery in xxxxxx.
Therefore, the information included in this assignment is
real information… I was intrigued by the thoughts of a
Reliability Policy. Until I took this unit, I had never
heard of a Reliability Policy and had never seen one.
Today, I showed my assignment to my supervisor. I
discussed the advantages of having a Reliability Policy
with him and suggested that he discuss developing a
Reliability Policy with our plant leadership team. He was
open to this suggestion.
One reason that I like taking the courses is that I feel
that I can apply them directly to what I am doing at work.
45. H
I've been at xxxxxxx Power Station for 3 years now
as the Maintenance Manager and loving it. There's
certainly some issues here but we'll steadily work
through those.
Success in my mind was no doubt due to the
Master’s course and how I applied it at my last job
(and the opportunities available and taken there
too, of course). …. I certainly consider the Masters
one of the best career moves I've ever made.
46. I
Please find attached Assignment 3. I believe this
has directly impacted my career, as I have been
successful in furthering my career with xxxxxxx, at
the LNG plant in yyyyyy.
I will fill the role of Maintenance Team Leader,
starting in Mid October - busy couple of months
ahead!!!!
47. J AND K
Applied my learning from the unit I studied, and
gained $US80000 value for my company. (US)
I would say that the MRE studies got me through
the front door and through the selection criteria and
then my experience got me over the line. More
significantly the MRE studies gave me the
confidence to apply for the job (I ended up with 5
offers) and made me want to work directly in the
MRE field.
48. L
I still work in Offshore Oil & Gas Industry and have
earned a wider appreciation and respect for my
documented operational skills.
I have just left xxxxxxxx in Korea after over 3 years.
Next week I start with a company in Norway as their
Project Manager for some contracts in Rio de
Janeiro. The company appreciate very much the
experience and skills of grey-haired personnel and
especially the effort of graduating with a Master’s
Degree at the age of 57. The oil industry is
booming and skill shortage requires those > 55's to
be appreciated and sought after for their skills.
(Student from Norway, but mostly working
elsewhere)
49. M
I have gained a lot from it. It has given a lot of
structure to things I had learned on the job, as well
as the huge amount of new stuff I have learn.
It has been influential in getting 3 jobs so far. ( The
first job as a Maintenance Planning Superintendent,
a second job as a Senior Project Engineer in
Argentina, and now my current job as Regional
Maintenance Manager).
50. AND LASTLY….N AND O
I got a new job based on the fact that I had applied
and been accepted into the course…..
(I do not recall him completing it..!)
Continuing to enjoy the unit, except I showed my
boss this assignment which I completed primarily in
my own time and he liked the fault tree and wants
me to produce a FTA for conductors and connectors
giving me more work. Great stuff! as my employer
and I are getting value out of it, I don’t know about
the extra work for me though!
:-)
51. TWO FINAL STORIES
The Graduate Certificate …. was instrumental in
helping me become Production Supervisor at a new
plant. A great opportunity for further advancement,
apart from about $40K increase in salary
Within the two years from enrolment I have gone
from a project 2I/C co-ordinator to a maintenance
superintendent, adding around $35K to my salary.
Your masters program has been a big contributor to
this. The content is the underlying factor with which
individuals can build the confidence needed to take
the next step".
