SCADA data based condition monitoring of wind turbines

Wind turbines（WTs） are quite expensive pieces of equipment in power industry. Maintenance and repair is a critical activity which also consumes lots of time and effort, hence making it a costly affair. Carefully planning the maintenance based upon condition of the equipment would make the process reasonable. Mostly the WTs are equipped with some kind of condition monitoring device/system, which provides the information about the device to the central data base i.e., supervisory control and data acquisition（SCADA） data base. These devices/systems make use of data processing techniques/methods in order to detect and predict faults. The information provided by condition monitoring equipments keeps on recoding in the SCADA data base. This paper dwells upon the techniques/methods/algorithms developed, to carry out diagnosis and prognosis of the faults, based upon SCADA data.Subsequently data driven approaching for SCADA data interpretation has been reviewed and an artificial intelligence（AI） based framework for fault diagnosis and prognosis of WTs using SCADA data is proposed.     

Mixed nonlinear dynamic voltage phasor tracing method based on WAMS/SCADA

By considering the static voltage characteristic of the load, we propose a WAMS/SCADA mixed nonlinear method to estimate the voltage of unobservable buses caused by topology change or phasor measurement unit （PMU） malfunction in a power system. By modeling the load characteristic with data from SCADA, we employed the Gauss-Seidel method to solve the nonlinear equations and estimate the voltage of unobservable buses with the high precision voltages of neighboring buses measured by a PMU. Simulations were carried out on the IEEE 39-bus system, and the results show that this novel method can dynamically and accurately trace the variation of the voltage phasor of the unobservable buses.     

Improved blind multiuser detection algorithm based on minimum output energy

Based on minimum output energy,an improved blind multiuser detection algorithm is proposed by the use of Hopfield neural network.Compared with traditional algorithms,the proposed algorithm does not need the circuit for constraints.The resources are greatly saved and the complexity is reduced as well.The simulation results show that the performance of the improved algorithm is similar to that of the optimal multiuser detection algorithm which is not suitable for the mobile station.Compared with the traditional gradient blind multiuser detection algorithm,the convergence speed of the improved algorithm is quickened.     

基于神经网络的数字广播信号无线定位算法(英文)

为了提高非视距(NLOS)环境下无线定位的准确性和可靠性,提出了一种利用数字广播信号进行移动台定位的神经网络方法.该方法利用神经网络的学习特性和逼近任意非线性函数的能力,建立到达时间(TOA)和到达时间差(TDOA)测量数据与坐标之间的映射关系.将神经网络的连接权值作为非线性动态系统的状态量进行估计,用基于扩展卡尔曼(EKF)的实时神经网络训练算法来训练多层感知器网络.由于基于EKF的训练算法给出的是连接权值的近似最小方差估计,其收敛性要优于误差反向传播(BP)算法.仿真结果表明,该算法在NLOS环境下有较高的定位精度,性能优于BP基的神经网络算法和最小二乘算法;且该定位方法不依赖于特定的NLOS误差分布,也无需视距(LOS)和非视距识别.
