Forecast Model Update Based on a Real-Time Data Processing Lambda Architecture for Estimating Partial Discharges in Hydrogenerator.

The prediction of partial discharges in hydrogenerators depends on data collected by sensors and prediction models based on artificial intelligence. However, forecasting models are trained with a set of historical data that is not automatically updated due to the high cost to collect sensors' data and insufficient real-time data analysis. This article proposes a method to update the forecasting model, aiming to improve its accuracy.

Wavelet-Like Transform to Optimize the Order of an Autoregressive Neural Network Model to Predict the Dissolved Gas Concentration in Power Transformer Oil from Sensor Data.

Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is one of the most important methods to analyze fault in power transformers. In general, DGA is applied in monitoring systems based upon an autoregressive model; the current value of a time series is regressed on past values of the same series, as well as present and past values of some exogenous variables. The main difficulty is to decide the order of the autoregressive model; this means determining the number of past values to be used.

A strategy for designing of customized electromechanical actuators of blood pumps.

Congestive heart failure is a pathology of global incidence that affects millions of people worldwide. When the heart weakens and fails to pump blood at physiological rates commensurate with the requirements of tissues, two main alternatives are cardiac transplant and ventricular assist devices (VADs). This article presents the design strategy for development of a customized VAD electromagnetic actuator.
