Feddp: A Privacy-Protecting Theft Detection Scheme In Smart Grids Using Federated Learning, Muhammad Mansoor Ashraf, Muhammad Waqas, Ghulam Abbas, Thar Baker, Ziaul Haq Abbas, Hisham Alasmary Aug 2022

Feddp: A Privacy-Protecting Theft Detection Scheme In Smart Grids Using Federated Learning, Muhammad Mansoor Ashraf, Muhammad Waqas, Ghulam Abbas, Thar Baker, Ziaul Haq Abbas, Hisham Alasmary

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

In smart grids (SGs), the systematic utilization of consumer energy data while maintaining its privacy is of paramount importance. This research addresses this problem by energy theft detection while preserving the privacy of client data. In particular, this research identifies centralized models as more accurate in predicting energy theft in SGs but with no or significantly less data protection. Current research proposes a novel federated learning (FL) framework, namely FedDP, to tackle this issue. The proposed framework enables various clients to benefit from on-device prediction with very little communication overhead and to learn from the experience of other clients with …

Correlations Between Dynamic Probe Blow Count And Undrained Shear Strength For Peat At A Well-Characterised Raised Bog In Ireland, David Mchugh, Ciaran Reilly, Juan Pablo Osorio Aug 2022

Correlations Between Dynamic Probe Blow Count And Undrained Shear Strength For Peat At A Well-Characterised Raised Bog In Ireland, David Mchugh, Ciaran Reilly, Juan Pablo Osorio

Articles

Peat deposits are generally heterogeneous, with large variations over small areas. Peat has an extremely high water content, high compressibility and low shear strength. This presents a major issue in studying the geomechanical behavior of peat. For this study, field and laboratory tests were conducted to establish the undrained shear strength (su) of peat at a cutover industrial peatland in Ireland which had been extensively characterized in the past. The new field work included TRL-type Dynamic Cone Penetrometer, Mackintosh probe and field vane shear tests. A correlation was developed between the Mackintosh probe “M-value” blow count and the …

Deriving Discrete Solid Phases From Csh-3t And Cshq End-Members To Model Cement Hydration In Phreeqc, Niall Holmes Dr., Colin Walker, Mark Tyrer, Denis Kelliher

Conference papers

This paper presents a cement hydration model over time using the CEMDATA thermodynamic database and a series of discrete solid phases (DSP) to represent calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) as a ternary (CSH-3T) and quaternary (CSHQ) solid solution. C-S-H in cement is amorphous and poorly crystalline with a range of molar Ca/Si ratios = 0.6-1.7 and displays strongly incongruent dissolution behaviour where the release of calcium into solution is several orders of magnitude greater than silicon. It is therefore important that any cement hydration model provides a credible account of this behaviour. C-S-H has been described in the CEMDATA thermodynamic database …

Study Of Urethane Double-Coated Nylon Membranes For Fluid-Storage Applications, Micah Austin Howell Aug 2022

Study Of Urethane Double-Coated Nylon Membranes For Fluid-Storage Applications, Micah Austin Howell

Masters Theses

Polymer-coated fabrics are used for many fuel and water storage applications, such as in U.S. military field operations. Urethane-double-coated nylon (UDCN) is one such material used in collapsible fluid storage tanks. Research into the mechanical properties of UDCN membranes under different environmental conditions is necessary for substantiating its current operations as well as developing new technologies. Novel modular, closed-loop and scalable pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) systems are one technology that could use UDCN membrane tanks in order to mitigate large costs, risks, environmental impacts, and time-for deployment associated with PSH system construction due to their modular, closed-loop technology. This study focuses …

Coal Geology & Exploration

Simulation experiments on hydraulic fracturing of the coal seam in the laboratory are an effective method to study the mechanism of fracturing and enhancing permeability of coal-rock mass by hydraulic fracturing in coal mines. However, the technology in-situ sampling for large-size coal mass is immature, and the existing large-size coal samples are mostly taken from the stress-relaxation area, which can be further damaged in the transportation and preparation processes, causing large dispersion in test results. Therefore, The use of coal-like materials is a viable option to replace large-size raw coal for hydraulic fracturing simulation experiments. The mechanical properties of coal-like …

Abnormal Response Characteristic Simulation During Transient Electromagnetic Detection In Mine Borehole, Zhang Jun Aug 2022

Abnormal Response Characteristic Simulation During Transient Electromagnetic Detection In Mine Borehole, Zhang Jun

Coal Geology & Exploration

Conventional mine transient electromagnetic advance detection method is greatly influenced by the condition outside of the mine, which leads to the inaccurate location in anomalous body detection. In order to solve this problem, an advance detection method for measuring the three-component signals of the transient electromagnetic field in the down-hole borehole was proposed to carry out numerical simulation for the abnormal response characteristics from the different locations of the plane where the receiving coil is located and the different orientations of the anomalous body.

Development And Application Of A Retractable Slip Overshot In Underground Coal Mines, Wu Tao Aug 2022

Development And Application Of A Retractable Slip Overshot In Underground Coal Mines, Wu Tao

Coal Geology & Exploration

The stuck and buried drills in underground coal mines often lead to accidents of broken drill pipes in the holes. At present, the success rate of the commonly used fishing methods of male and female fishing tap buckle is low, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also affects the production progress of coal mining. Based on this, a retractable slip overshot with the structural design of the cooperation between the slips and the outer cylinder through the wedge-shaped spiral surface has been proposed, which converts the pull-out force of the drill rod into a …

Optimising Existing Digital Workflow For Structural Engineering Organisations Through The Partnering Of Bim And Lean Processes, John Mclaughlin, Barry Mcauley Aug 2022

Optimising Existing Digital Workflow For Structural Engineering Organisations Through The Partnering Of Bim And Lean Processes, John Mclaughlin, Barry Mcauley

Conference Papers

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is now seen as one of the leading transformative processes within the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector and has the potential to assist in streamlining the structural design process. However, its practical implementation can often add another layer to the existing workflow and can result, to its detriment, in the primary objective of optimising structural workflows being hindered. This can lead to structural organisations producing 3D models in tandem with traditional drawings, a lack of human intervention regarding software interoperability, and a reluctance to move away from conventional work methods. This paper will explore how …

Floor Failure Law Of Extra-Thick Coal Seam In Fully Mechanized Caving Mining, Guo Guoqiang Aug 2022

Floor Failure Law Of Extra-Thick Coal Seam In Fully Mechanized Caving Mining, Guo Guoqiang

Coal Geology & Exploration

The coal mining on the high-artesian water body will cause floor disturbance and damage, and lead to the thinner effective waterproof stratum, which enhances the risk coefficient of water bursting at the floor. Grouting modification of the target horizon is an effective governing measure. However, the grouting within the floor damage scope will waste a large amount of grout and affect the project effect. Therefore, it is especially important to carry out the study of the damage depth and regularity of the coal seam floor. Accordingly, the 5105 working bench of the Yushupo Coal Mine in Shanxi was adopted as …

Because of the thermoelectric (TE) effect (or Seebeck effect), a difference of potential is generated as a consequence of a temperature gradient across a sample. The TE effect has been mostly studied and engineered in semiconducting materials and it already finds several commercial applications. Only recently the TE effect in cement-based materials has been demonstrated and there is a growing interest in its potential. For instance, a temperature gradient across the external walls of a building can be used to generate electricity. By the inverse of the TE effect (or Peltier effect), one can also seek to control the indoor …
