Forecast Model Update Based on a Real-Time Data Processing Lambda Architecture for Estimating Partial Discharges in Hydrogenerator

Sensors (Basel). 2020 Dec 17;20(24):7242. doi: 10.3390/s20247242.

Abstract

The prediction of partial discharges in hydrogenerators depends on data collected by sensors and prediction models based on artificial intelligence. However, forecasting models are trained with a set of historical data that is not automatically updated due to the high cost to collect sensors' data and insufficient real-time data analysis. This article proposes a method to update the forecasting model, aiming to improve its accuracy. The method is based on a distributed data platform with the lambda architecture, which combines real-time and batch processing techniques. The results show that the proposed system enables real-time updates to be made to the forecasting model, allowing partial discharge forecasts to be improved with each update with increasing accuracy.
