Data Science for Distribution Loss Management

DATA SCIENCE FOR DISTRIBUTION LOSS MANAGEMENT

Data Science as defined in wikipedia is is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from noisy, structured and unstructured data, and apply knowledge from data across a broad range of application domains. Data science is related to data mining, machine learning and big data.

Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis, informatics, and their related methods" in order to "understand and analyse actual phenomena" with data. It uses techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the context of mathematics, statistics, computer science, information science, and domain knowledge. However, data science is different from computer science and information science. Turing Award winner Jim Gray imagined data science as a "fourth paradigm" of science (empirical, theoretical, computational, and now data-driven) and asserted that "everything about science is changing because of the impact of information technology" and the data deluge.

Data Science on Distribution loss management is of no exception. 

The rapid transformation of the electricity sector increases both the opportunities and the need for Data Analytics. In recent years, various new methods and fields of application have been emerging. As research is growing and becoming more diverse and specialized, it is essential to integrate and structure the fragmented body of scientific work. We therefore conduct a systematic review of studies concerned with developing and applying Data Analytics methods in the context of the electricity value chain. First, we provide a quantitative high-level overview of the status quo of Data Analytics research, and show historical literature growth, leading countries in the field and the most intensive international collaborations. Then, we qualitatively review over 200 high-impact studies to present an in-depth analysis of the most prominent applications of Data Analytics in each of the electricity sector’s areas: generation, trading, transmission, distribution, and consumption. For each area, we review the state-of-the-art Data Analytics applications and methods. In addition, we discuss used data sets, feature selection methods, benchmark methods, evaluation metrics, and model complexity and run time. Summarizing the findings from the different areas, we identify best practices and what researchers in one area can learn from other areas. Finally, we highlight potential for future research.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

ELECTRIC MOTOR FRAME SIZE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS How is electric motor frame size being specified? Motor frame dimensions have been standardized with a uniform frame size numbering system. This system was developed by NEMA and specific frame sizes have been assigned to standard motor ratings based on enclosure, horsepower and speed. The current standardized frames for integral horsepower induction motors ranges from 143T to 445T. These standards cover most motors in the range of one through two hundred horsepower. Typical example of where you can locate the frame is shown in Fig 1.2.D – Frame No. The numbers used to designate frame sizes have specific meanings based on the physical size of the motor. Some digits are related to the motor shaft height and the remaining digit or digits relate to the length of the motor. The rerate, or frame size reduction programs were brought about by advancements in motor technology relating mainly to higher temperature ratings of insulating mate

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").
