Wind energy is one of the most promising alternatives as energy sources; however, to obtain the best results, producers need to forecast the wind speed, generated power and energy price in order to provide the appropriate tools for optimal operation, planning, control and marketing both for isolated wind systems and for those that are interconnected to a main distribution network. For the present work, a novel methodology is proposed for the forecasting of time series in wind energy systems; it consists of a high-order neural network that is trained on-line by the extended Kalman filter algorithm. Unlike most modern artificial intelligence methods of forecasting, which are based on hybridizations, data pre-filtering or deep learning methods, the proposed method is based on the simplicity of implementation, low computational complexity and real-time operation to produce 15-step-ahead forecasting in a time series of wind speed, generated power and energy price. The proposed scheme has been evaluated using real data from open access repositories of wind farms. The results show that an on-line training of the neural network produces high precision, without the need for any other information beyond a few past observations.

Induction motors can be modeled in different ways for correct operation and control, one of these is the αβ representation, this model has six state variables that can be monitored: rotor position, rotor speed, α flux, β flux, α current and β current. Usually, only three of these variables can be measured directly with sensors. These sensors are subject to long periods of work and stress, so a failure in these sensors cannot be ruled out. Sensor failure can cause problems to control the motor, instability or motor performance degradation. That is why fault tolerant controllers are proposed to maintain the stability of the induction motor despite sensor failure, assuming that the error is classified correctly and in a short period of time. This paper is concerned with the detection and classification of sensor faults: rotor position, α and β currents, in real time, considered faults can occur by sensor disconnection, sensor degradation, sensor failure, or connection damage, among other hardware or software phenomena. Different neural networks are proposed and compared for real-time classification, these are: Multilayer perceptron, convolutional neural network, the unidirectional Long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional LSTM. The results show that the CNN neural network presents the best performance compared to the other methods, but the LSTM has a shorter classification time with high accuracy to classify the true class. The CNN used corresponds to a simple configuration of a convolution layer with 20 filters of 2×1, followed by a pooling layer and two dense layers. The results show that CNN has a classification accuracy above 99% and an average classification time per sample of 4.6236e-08 s. For its part, the LSTM shows a classification accuracy of approximately 99% and an average classification time per sample of 3.1298e-09 s, MLP shows a classification accuracy of 97.96% with a classification time of 5.5 e-10 s, while BiLSTM shows an accuracy above of 98% and a classification time of 4.47e-4 s.

The main steps involved in a fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme are the detection of failures, isolation and reconfiguration of control. Fault detection and isolation (FDI) is a topic of interest due to its importance for the controller, since it provides the necessary information to adjust and mitigate the effects of the fault. Generally, the most common failures occur in the actuator or in sensors, so this article proposes a novel model-free scheme for the detection and isolation of sensor and actuator faults of induction motors (IM). The proposed methodology performs the task of detecting and isolating faults over data streams just after the occurrence of the failure of an induction motor (IM), by the occurrence of either disconnection, degradation, failure, or connection damage. Our approach proposes deep neural networks that do not need a nominal model or generate residuals for fault detection, which makes it a useful tool. In addition, the fault-isolation approach is carried out by classifiers that differentiate characteristics independently of the other classifiers. The long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network, bidirectional LSTM, multilayer perceptron and convolutional neural network are used for this task. The proposed sensors’ and actuator’s fault detection and isolation scheme is simple. It can be applied to various problems involving fault detection and isolation schemes. The results show that deep neural networks are a powerful and versatile tool for fault detection and isolation over data streams.

Motivated by the increasing complexity of systems to be controlled and different system components that cause uncertainties, threats, and disturbances, among other system stressing phenomena. Resilient control is an important design paradigm that has attracted attention from academics, practitioners, and the industrial sector. Therefore, this paper proposes the design of a model-free resilient control for unknown discrete-time nonlinear systems based on a recurrent high order neural network trained with an on-line extended Kalman filter-based algorithm for output trajectory tracking in the presence of uncertainties, disturbances, and unmodeled dynamics. This paper also includes the stability proof of the entire proposed scheme; its applicability is shown via simulation and experimental results including a comparative analysis of the proposed controller against well-known controllers for a three-phase induction motor.
