  • Algorithm for forming a strategy for automatic updating of artificial intelligence models in forecasting tasks in the electric power industry

    Changes in external conditions, parameters of object functioning, relationships between system elements and system connections with the supersystem lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the artificial intelligence models results, which is called model degradation. Reducing the risk of model degradation is relevant for electric power engineering tasks, the peculiarity of which is multifactor dependencies in complex technical systems and the influence of meteorological parameters. Therefore, automatic updating of models over time is a necessary condition for building user confidence in forecasting systems in  power engineering tasks and industry implementations of such systems. There are various methods used to prevent degradation, including an algorithm for detecting data drift, an algorithm for updating models, their retraining, additional training, and fine-tuning. This article presents the results of a study of drift types, their systematization and classification by various features. The solution options that developers need to make when creating intelligent forecasting systems to determine a strategy for updating forecast models are formalized, including update trigger criteria, model selection, hyperparameter optimization, and the choice of an update method and data set formation. An algorithm for forming a strategy for automatic updating of artificial intelligence models is proposed and practical recommendations are given for developers of models in problems of forecasting time series in the  power industry, such as forecasting electricity consumption, forecasting the output of solar, wind and hydroelectric power plants.

  • A survey of metrics for evaluating the performance of generative models in image creation

    This paper provides a survey of metrics used to assess the quality of images generated by generative models. Specialized metrics are required to objectively evaluate image quality. A comparative analysis showed that a combination of different metrics is necessary for a comprehensive evaluation of generation quality. Perceptual metrics are effective for assessing image quality from the perspective of machine systems, while metrics evaluating structure and details are useful for analyzing human perception. Text-based metrics allow for the assessment of image-text alignment but cannot replace metrics focused on visual or structural evaluation. The results of this study will be beneficial for specialists in machine learning and computer vision, as well as contribute to the improvement of generative algorithms and the expansion of diffusion model applications.

  • Calculations of bending reinforced concrete structures based on a nonlinear deformation model using the LIRA PC

    The article presents and analyzes the algorithm for calculating bending reinforced concrete structures by normal section based on a nonlinear deformation model recommended in the standards for the design of reinforced concrete structures SP 63.13330.2018. Calculation of reinforced concrete structures based on a nonlinear deformation model is a priority, since it expands the set of controlled parameters, which leads to a more accurate description of the operation of building structures. The features of performing the calculation using this algorithm, as well as other approaches to calculating bending reinforced concrete structures by a normal section based on deformation and other models, are considered. The sequence of calculations using computer technologies is shown using the example of calculations in the engineering nonlinearity1 system of the LIRA-SAPR software package. The results of calculating a rod element of the calculation scheme are given: changes of the bending moment, stiffness, and deformation modulus for finite elements along the rod length. In this case, the calculation in the engineering nonlinearity1 system is performed with subsequent adjustment of the stiffness characteristics of the finite elements, carried out during the iterative calculation, with clarification of the stress-strain state, deflection of the element and its reinforcement. Additional capabilities of performing calculations using the engineering nonlinearity2 system are described: expanded the possibilities of assigning various laws of material deformation, describing the loading of the calculation scheme, reinforcement of structures, and the possibility of using a step processor.

  • Data transfer protocol selection for implementing a remote monitoring and control system for hydrogen fuel cells

    The paper considers the issue of choosing a data transmission protocol through telecommunication networks for the implementation of a distributed monitoring and diagnostic system for hydrogen solid polymer fuel cells. It has been established that the organization of such systems is potentially possible on the basis of protocols: HTTP, Websockets and UDP, however, to ensure maximum efficiency in making diagnostic decisions, the use of the UDP protocol is preferable. Experimental estimates show that the maximum time to receive a diagnostic message will be no more than 250 ms, and the average is about 125 ms.

  • Determination of the effective pulse frequency of a dynamic loading system for comparison of field and laboratory test results

    The article is devoted to the method of calculating the effective frequency of the load impulse FWD, which allows establishing a correspondence between the laboratory-determined viscoelastic characteristics of asphalt concrete layers included in the road pavement and the modulus of elasticity calculated by backcalculation based on the deflection  bowl determined in field tests using FWD. The article proposes an algorithm for finding this frequency, presents the results of its calculations, and compares the elastic moduli obtained in the laboratory and by the results of the backcalculation.

  • The use of an aggregated digital twin to control a highly efficient pulse voltage stabilizer

    The article discusses the issues of controlling a pulse voltage stabilizer, which has the potential to provide high specific characteristics, efficiency and quality of the output voltage. It is shown that it is advisable to use a digital computing device to control this stabilizer. The oscillograms of the processes in the layout of a pulse voltage stabilizer with a digital control device are presented and an intermediate conclusion is made about an increase in the duration of transients in the stabilizer layout in comparison with the minimum possible due to the lack of time required to accurately calculate the duration of the control signals of the stabilizer's power transistors. It is proposed to calculate in advance the necessary durations of the control signals of the stabilizer's power transistors with a step-by-step change in the external operating conditions of the stabilizer and to store the results in the memory of the digital control device. The time diagrams of processes in the stabilizer simulation model are presented, in which control is implemented according to the proposed option.

  • A freely resting beam on a tensionless Winkler foundation loaded by forces at its ends

    The article presents an analytical solution for a specific case of a system with unilateral constraints: a beam freely resting on a tensionless Winkler foundation, loaded with identical vertical forces F at both ends. It is shown that beam separation from the foundation occurs when the reduced beam length αl exceeds π (αl > π); the size of the detachment region does not depend on the magnitude of the applied force. An increase in foundation stiffness (for a constant beam length) leads to an expansion of the detachment zone. The bending moment at the midpoint of the beam with detachment is maximal at the «detachment moment» and equals 0.4F⁄α. The deflection at the midpoint also depends on the foundation stiffness and is proportional to the applied force. As the foundation stiffness increases, the bending moment and deflection decrease, approaching zero for an infinitely stiff foundation. The article provides a calculation algorithm for the described beam and an example demonstrating changes in the stress-strain state parameters of the beam with increasing foundation stiffness. The obtained results, in the author's opinion, are interesting in themselves and can also contribute to the set of verification problems for structurally nonlinear systems.
