Soft sensors experience an increasing interest in recent years, as they can replace expensive hardware meters and the required embedded computing hardware has become cheap and powerful. We report results for the implementation of a soft sensor for the flow rate estimation in centrifugal pumps that achieves root mean square errors of about 5%. The proposed soft sensor is based on generic models for the drive and hydraulic part of the pump to ensure widespread applicability. We show the soft sensor and the models it is based on can be parametrized with simple measurements. All theoretical considerations are corroborated with measurements on a real industrial pump in a laboratory setup. The results show that the proposed soft sensor is capable of providing reliable flow rate estimates in spite of plant model mismatch and uncertain hardware components.

This paper proposes the participation of wind generation in the decentralized control of load frequency of a hybrid power system consisting of, in addition to wind generation, conventional generation and battery storage. The wind generation is modelled as a ‘Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG)’ in a separate control area with its own virtual frequency. It has also been proposed to operate the wind generation system in a ‘de-loaded’ mode, thereby allowing it to take part in frequency regulation services. For the purposes of a decentralized control design, the overall system model is decomposed into three subsystems. Static state-feedback control gains are computed by posing the decentralized control problem as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) subject to structural and stabilizing constraints.

Fine-grained plant pathology classification is an important task for precision agriculture, but at the same time, it is challenging due to the subtle difference in plant categories. Variances in the lighting conditions, position, and stages of disease symptoms usually lead to degradation of classification accuracy. Knowledge distillation is a popular method to improve the model performance to deal with the indistinguishable image classification problem. It aims to have a well-optimised small student network guided by a large teacher network. Existing knowledge distillation methods mainly consider training a teacher network that needs a high storage space and considerable computing resources. Self-knowledge distillation methods have been proposed to distil knowledge from the same network. Although self-knowledge distillation saves time and space compared with knowledge distillation, it only learns label knowledge. In this paper, we propose a novel self-distillation method to recognize the fine-grained plant category, which considers holistic knowledge based on the Squeeze and Excitation Network. We label this new method as holistic self-distillation because it captures knowledge through spatial features and labels. The performance validation of the proposed approach is performed on two public fine-grained plant datasets: Plant Pathology 2021 and Plant Pathology 2020 with the accuracy of 98.22% and 90.72% respectively. We also present experiments on the state-of-the-art algorithm (ResNet-50). The classification results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with respect to accuracy.

This paper proposes a hybrid computational framework for fault detection during the coil winding manufacturing process by using a combination of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model with a Supervised Machine Learning (SML) algorithm. The conventional End of the Line (EoL) tests are insufficient in detecting faults during process resulting in increased manufacturing costs and lead times. The proposed methodology utilises a Knowledge Distillation (KD) approach to address the challenges associated with the technique and optimise the student model's performance by employing architecture search and data augmentation. Multiple SML algorithms were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in predicting faults during manufacturing. The random forest algorithm demonstrated superior performance due to its ability to handle complex data and identify the impact of interdependencies of process parameters on the final product quality. The method was validated by conducting physical experiments on a linear coil-winding machine, and the results indicated that the random forest algorithm has the potential to decrease simulation time from 2 minutes to less than a second. The proposed methodology has the potential to reduce manufacturing time, enhance stator quality, and ultimately improve their reliability and safety.
