Traditional signal detection methods require an explicit prescription of partial discharge features that characterize the state of the cable system. When the sample size is sufficiently large, deep learning models allow complex interrelations of auto-generated features. A distinct challenge is the characterization of the waveform signal, which depends on cable length. In this webinar, an overview of the developed deep learning models for an extensive partial discharge dataset to automate the detection of underground cable defects will be provided. The developed deep learning models outperform predictions with traditional methods. In addition to classifying partial discharge signals, the models identify source locations of the defects within a cable system through recurrent Neural Networks. Additional assessments include advanced data augmentation strategies and interpretability to verify the potential use of the model for predictive maintenance.

Discuss the plans for the semester Storrs, Connecticut, United States

The newly-established Connecticut chapter of the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) is very pleased to invite you to a technical lecture on the topic of PCB Embedded Power Packaging presented by Dr. Shashank Krishnamurthy. Please join us and a full cast of Connecticut industrial and academic stakeholders for this event at the Farmington Library. Come mingle with the major players of all corners of CT industry and even beyond, including the likes of Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin, Otis Elevator Company, Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon, Triumph Group, Eversource, General Dynamics/Electric Boat, and academic luminaries from UConn, Central Connecticut State University. This event will begin with a networking reception (including food and soft drinks) to mingle with other professionals and students before getting to the main event, our featured guest speaker. For this event, space is limited so please be sure to pre-register to attend. We respectfully request you cancel your registration if plans change to free the slot for another guest to this exclusive event. We are excited and honored to have Dr. Shashank Krishnamurthy, as our speaker for this event.
