Analysis of the Ultrasonic Signal in Polymeric Contaminated Insulators Through Ensemble Learning Methods

Abstract

Outdoor insulators may experience stress due to severe environmental conditions, such as pollution and contamination. Through the identification of partial discharges by ultrasonic noise, it is possible to assess the possibility of a power grid failure occurring. In this paper, ensemble models are used to analyze an ultrasonic signal from an ultrasonic microphone Pettersson M500. As the insulators are susceptible to developing irreversible failures, it will be evaluated whether the ultrasonic signal will remain over time, so that it is possible to assess whether the discharges being captured can result in a failure in contaminated polymeric insulators, evaluated in a high voltage laboratory under controlled conditions. The ensemble models were used in this paper because they typically require less computational effort than techniques based on deep learning and have acceptable performance for the problem at hand. The bagging, boosting, random subspace, bagging plus random subspace, and stacked generalization ensemble models are evaluated, and the best result of each model is used to compare the differences between the models. The bagging ensemble learning model proved to be faster and have lower error than other ensemble models, long short-term memory (LSTM), and nonlinear autoregressive (NAR).

“…In the results, 65% accuracy was achieved in predicting next month's price direction and 60% accuracy in predicting next week's price direction. Besides the models that are based on deep layers [53,54] and hybrid models [55], other models are gaining space, such as ensemble learning methods [56][57][58], neuro-fuzzy systems [59,60], and group method of data handling [61]. In Table 1, a comparison is made between some of these presented related works.…”

Artificial Intelligence of Things Applied to Assistive Technology: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Shallow neural networks have three layers and deep ones have more than three layers, including the input layer and the output layer [63]. These models can be applied in prediction [64][65][66], classification [67][68][69], and optimization [70][71][72] problems.…”

Architecture using blockchain data privacy for healthcare data management

“…According to Dinh and Thai [39] there is a disruptive integration between AI and blockchain. Artificial intelligence has many applications, such as computer vision [40][41][42], time series forecasting [43][44][45][46][47], pattern classification [48,49], optimization [50], and recently some papers have been presented relating the topic to blockchain [51]. According to Atlam et al [52] besides the application of blockchain in AI there is room for application in the internet of things.…”
