Опыт реализации комплексной системы диагностики высоковольтного оборудования. Вестник Казанского государственного энергетического университета.2020. Т. 12, № 1 (45). – С. 82–92.

В данном исследованим для реального энергетического объекта для ОРУ-110 кВ разработана и апробирована комплексная методика оценки технического состояния электрооборудования на базе дополнительных методов технического диагностирования состояния оборудования на основе инфракрасного и ультрафиолетового периодического контролей, а также метода измерения частичных разрядов. В результате исследования выявлены дефекты в различных видах оборудования с разной степенью их развития, где каждый из методов в отдельности покрывает только определенную (свою) группу дефектов, которая может быть идентифицирована только в 20-25% случаев с помощью другого метода из перечисленного списка, при этом точность идентификации дефекта при использовании всех трех методов технического диагностирования, как например, было продемонстрировано на трансформаторах тока и напряжения повышается до 90%. А применение ультрафиолетового контроля совместно с тепловизионным контролем позволяет повысить точность идентификации дефектов на 15%.

Robust Short-Term Wind Speed Forecasting Using Adaptive Shallow Neural Networks // Problems of the Regional Energetics. 2020. № 3 (47). 68 – 79 pp.

Wind speed forecasting is necessary to integrate wind farms into power systems. This work aims to develop a machine learning model for short-term wind speed forecasting with acceptable accuracy but high robustness and the possibility of automatic online retraining. A shallow multilayer perceptron, trained only on retrospective data on wind speed, is proposed. The most significant results are combining simple neural network architecture with ReLU activation function, Adam training method developed for deep neural networks; and the automatic hy- per-parameters selection using Grid search with open upper bounds. The significance of the obtained results is that shallow neural networks using ReLU, Adam, and Grid search are practically not inferior to adaptive models in terms of tuning speed and the risk of subsequent differences in accuracy be- tween training data and data supplied during operation. At the same time, shallow neural networks make it possible to obtain more accurate forecasts, and due to their small size, they are trained quickly; and retraining can be performed automatically when new data arrives.

Comparison study of wind flow velocity short-term forecasting methods based on adaptive models and neural networks // International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology, 29(8 Special Issue), pp. 2108-2115. 2020. (Scopus Q4). 

The article is devoted to the study and comparison analysis of wind flow velocity short-term forecasting methods based on adaptive models and neural networks. The research used data obtained from the Russian island. The adaptive Holt, Brown and Holt-Winters models are compared, and their best parameters are selected for the problem at hand. The paper gives the results of research on the influence of the number of hidden layers, the activation function, and the method of training a multilayer neural network on the accuracy in forecasting. The results showed a significant advantage of a rectified linear unit (ReLU) as an activation function relative to the sigmoid function and hyperbolic tangent, as well as the advantage of the Adam method over classic Gradient Descent. Adaptive methods showed MAPE 16%, and Neural networks showed 10%. Adaptive methods ensure quick tuning a task solution with a low risk of overfitting, so the accuracy between the training data and real-life accuracy will be the same. Artificial neural networks allow to obtain more accurate forecasts but require careful tuning and have the risk of overfitting as a significant accuracy decreasing in case of changing climatic conditions.

Application of swarm intelligence algorithms to energy management of prosumers with wind power plants // International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Vol. 10. no. 6. 2020. pp. 6172-6179. (Scopus Q2.)

The paper considers the problem of optimal control of a prosumer with a wind power plant in smart grid. It is shown that control can be performed in non-deterministic conditions due to the impossibility of accurate forecasting of the generation from renewable plants. A control model based on a priority queue of logical rules with structural-parametric optimization is applied. The optimization problem is considered from a separate prosumer, not from the entire distributed system. The solution of the optimization problem is performed by three swarm intelligence algorithms. Computational experiments were carried out for models of wind energy systems on Russky Island and Popov Island (Far East). The results obtained showed the high effectiveness of the swarm intelligence algorithms that demonstrated reliable and fast convergence to the global extreme of the optimization problem under different scenarios and parameters of prosumers. Also, we analyzed the influence of accumulator capacity on the variability of prosumers. The variability, in turn, affects the increase of the prosumer benefits from the interaction with the external global power system and neighboring prosumers.

Methodology for Analysing the Technical State and Residual Life of Overhead Transmission Lines

The paper presents an industry-validated technique for analysing the technical state of overhead power transmission lines and predicting their residual life with the ability to predict the schedule of their repairs and maintenance. The authors propose a new approach to overhead lines technical state identification based on the analysis of its components: towers, conductors and insulation nodes. Also, within the framework of the study, an indirect method for assessing the physical wear indicator of overhead power transmission lines has been developed, taking into account the previously carried out replacement of its elements and components. The feasibility of extending the life of the overhead power transmission line components based on residual life assessment methods is justified. The developed methodology is intended for energy utilities as well as engineering supervision organisations conducting overhead power transmission lines surveys. Novel recommendations are formulated to assess the physical wear of the overhead transmission lines.

As a result of the application of the aforementioned approaches together with hyperparameters, tuning and pipelining of the algorithms, the optimal structure, parameters and the application sphere of different regressors were identified for various testing samples. The mathematical model developed within the framework of the study gave the opportunity to provide robust photovoltaic energy forecasting results with mean accuracy over 92% for mostly-sunny sample days and over 83% for mostly cloudy days with different types of precipitation.

Improving Accuracy and Generalization Performance of Small-Size Recurrent Neural Networks Applied to Short-Term Load Forecasting

The load forecasting of a coal mining enterprise is a complicated problem due to the irregular technological process of mining. It is necessary to apply models that can distinguish both cyclic components and complex rules in the energy consumption data that reflect the highly volatile technological process. For such tasks, Artificial Neural Networks demonstrate advanced performance. In recent years, the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Networks has been significantly improved thanks to new state-of-the-art architectures, training methods and approaches to reduce overfitting. In this paper, the Recurrent Neural Network architecture with a small-size model was applied to the short-term load forecasting of a coal mining enterprise. A single recurrent model was developed and trained for the entire four-year operational period of the enterprise, with significant changes in the energy consumption pattern during the period. This task was challenging since it required high-level generalization performance from the model. It was shown that the accuracy and generalization properties of small-size recurrent models can be significantly improved by the proper selection of the hyper-parameters and training method. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was validated using a real-case dataset.
