Abstract

Many industries, among which the cement industry, have showed growing interest in the exploitation of its gathered data to optimize its production line. In this work, typical problems occuring in cement plant are addressed.&#13;The first one concerns the prediction of cyclones cloggings phenomena. Several methods are discussed in an attempt to solve this predictive maintenance problem. Whilst one method relies on operating points clustering via K-Means, the other one consists in modeling the problem as a binary classification task where samples close to cloggings get a value 1 and the normal samples get a value 0. After some processing to counteract the imbalanced dataset problem and a feature space reduction, the Random Forest, SVM and One-Class SVM algorithms are evaluated to conduct the classification.&#13;The second task was the prediction of the clinker quality based on some measurements inside the production line. Through the collection of raw meal quality, fuels flows and clinker quality measurements, a multivariate time series problem is established and an autoregressive model (VAR) is used in this forecasting task.&#13;In any case, the prediction performance is relatively low. Even if some alternative methods could improve the predictions, the main reasons explaining poor forecast can be found in the available dataset in which the sampling period of some key data was too low.&#13;Ultimately, the understanding of monitoring data obtained from industrial plants could result in efficiency improvements and cost reductions.

Abstract

Le rapport suivant a été écrit dans le cadre de mon stage dans l'entreprise « Behave! ». Son principal objectif est d’identifier et de défendre le modèle de Machine Learning le plus pertinent dans la cadre de prévisions portant sur 7 styles d’investissement différents : « Growth », « Momentum », « Quality », « Size », « Value », « Volatility » et « Yield ».&#13;&#13;Étant donné que ce mémoire est rédigé selon une orientation "rapport d’entreprise", une part importante de ce document est consacrée à la construction de modèles et à l’analyse de résultats.&#13;&#13;De nombreuses recherches académiques ont néanmoins dû être effectuées et viendront, aussi souvent que possible, appuyer les conclusions établies au fur et à mesure des chapitres.&#13;&#13;Ma tâche au sein de l’entreprise peut être divisée en trois étapes majeures, il en va de même pour la construction de ce rapport.&#13;Premièrement, les facteurs de risque sont définis et systématiquement liés à leurs styles d’investissement. C’est l’occasion d’étudier les techniques utilisées par l’entreprise pour les calculer.&#13;&#13;Dans un deuxième temps, ce sont les modèles de Machine Learning qui sont définis et appliqués à un exemple simple en utilisant les logiciels « RStudio » et « Microsoft Azure Cortana Intelligence ». Dans ce mémoire, l’approche se limite aux modèles suivants : « Hidden Markov », « Random Forest », « Support Vector Machine » et « Neural Network ».&#13;&#13;Il s’agira enfin d’appliquer ces modèles aux styles d’investissement proposés par l’entreprise afin de pouvoir faire des comparaisons qui serviront ensuite de base à mes recommandations finales.

Abstract

Condition monitoring of machinery is one of the most important aspects of many modern industries. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, machines are becoming increasingly complex. Moreover, an exponential increase of demand is leading an increasing requirement of machine output. As a result, in most modern industries, machines have to work for 24 hours a day. All these factors are leading to the deterioration of machine health in a higher rate than before. Breakdown of the key components of a machine such as bearing, gearbox or rollers can cause a catastrophic effect both in terms of financial and human costs. In this perspective, it is important not only to detect the fault at its earliest point of inception but necessary to design the overall monitoring process, such as fault classification, fault severity assessment and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction for better planning of the maintenance schedule. Information theory is one of the pioneer contributions of modern science that has evolved into various forms and algorithms over time. Due to its ability to address the non-linearity and non-stationarity of machine health deterioration, it has become a popular choice among researchers. Information theory is an effective technique for extracting features of machines under different health conditions. In this context, this book discusses the potential applications, research results and latest developments of information theory-based condition monitoring of machineries.

Abstract

The aim of this book was to collect the most recent methods developed for NSO and its practical applications. The book contains seven papers: The first is the foreword by the Guest Editors giving a brief review of NSO and its real-life applications and acknowledging the outstanding contributions of Professor Adil Bagirov to both the theoretical and practical aspects of NSO. The second paper introduces a new and very efficient algorithm for solving uncertain unit-commitment (UC) problems. The third paper proposes a new nonsmooth version of the generalized damped Gauss–Newton method for solving nonlinear complementarity problems. In the fourth paper, the abs-linear representation of piecewise linear functions is extended to yield simultaneously their DC decomposition as well as the pair of generalized gradients. The fifth paper presents the use of biased-randomized algorithms as an effective methodology to cope with NP-hard and nonsmooth optimization problems in many practical applications. In the sixth paper, a problem concerning the scheduling of nuclear waste disposal is modeled as a nonsmooth multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem, and a novel method using the two-slope parameterized achievement scalarizing functions is introduced. Finally, the last paper considers binary classification of a multiple instance learning problem and formulates the learning problem as a nonconvex nonsmooth unconstrained optimization problem with a DC objective function.

Abstract

Fault diagnosis has always been a concern for industry. In general, diagnosis in complex systems requires the acquisition of information from sensors and the processing and extracting of required features for the classification or identification of faults. Therefore, fault diagnosis of sensors is clearly important as faulty information from a sensor may lead to misleading conclusions about the whole system. As engineering systems grow in size and complexity, it becomes more and more important to diagnose faulty behavior before it can lead to total failure. In the light of above issues, this book is dedicated to trends and applications in modern-sensor fault diagnosis.

Abstract

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are dramatically influencing the environment, and research is strongly committed to proposing alternatives, mainly based on renewable energy sources. Low GHG electricity production from renewables is well established but issues of grid balancing are limiting their application. Energy storage is a key topic for the further deployment of renewable energy production. Besides batteries and other types of electrical storage, electrofuels and bioderived fuels may offer suitable alternatives in some specific scenarios. This Special Issue includes contributions on the energy conversion technologies and use, energy storage, technologies integration, e-fuels, and pilot and large-scale applications.
