• Abstract summary: An offshore wind farm could be considered as a population of nominally-identical wind-turbine structures. benign variations exist among members, such as geometry, sea-bed conditions and temperature differences. This paper explores the use of a hierarchical Bayesian model to infer expected soil stiffness distributions at both population and local levels.

• Abstract: Population-based structural health monitoring (PBSHM), aims to share information between members of a population. An offshore wind (OW) farm could be considered as a population of nominally-identical wind-turbine structures. However, benign variations exist among members, such as geometry, sea-bed conditions and temperature differences. These factors could influence structural properties and therefore the dynamic response, making it more difficult to detect structural problems via traditional SHM techniques. This paper explores the use of a hierarchical Bayesian model to infer expected soil stiffness distributions at both population and local levels, as a basis to perform anomaly detection, in the form of scour, for new and existing turbines. To do this, observations of natural frequency will be generated as though they are from a small population of wind turbines. Differences between individual observations will be introduced by postulating distributions over the soil stiffness and measurement noise, as well as reducing soil depth (to represent scour), in the case of anomaly detection.

  We propose VegeDiff for the geospatial vegetation forecasting task. VegeDiff is the first to employ a diffusion model to probabilistically capture the uncertainties in vegetation change processes. By capturing the uncertainties in vegetation changes and modeling the complex influence of relevant variables, VegeDiff outperforms existing deterministic methods.

• Population-based wind farm monitoring based on a spatial autoregressive approach [0.0]
  Population-based structural health monitoring can further reduce the cost of health monitoring systems. To monitor turbine performance at a population/farm level, an important initial step is to construct a model that describes the behaviour of all turbines. This paper proposes a population-level model that explicitly captures the spatial and temporal correlations (between turbines) induced by the wake effect.

  The risk of affecting the aquifers for public use is imminent in most cases. Geoelectric data (resistivity and IP), and surface methane measurements, are integrated and classified using an unsupervised Neural Network. A precise delimitation of the affected areas in the studied landfill was obtained, integrating the input variables via SOMs.

  We show that if one has weak supervision from observations generated by sparse perturbations of the latent variables, identification is achievable under unknown continuous latent distributions. We propose a natural estimation procedure based on this theory and illustrate it on low-dimensional synthetic and image-based experiments.

  This paper focuses on the uncertainty set prediction of the aggregated generation of geographically distributed wind farms. A Spatio-temporal model is proposed to learn the dynamic features from partial observation in near-surface wind fields of neighboring wind farms. Numerical testing results based on the actual data with 6 wind farms in northwest China show that the uncertainty set of aggregated wind generation is less volatile than that of a single wind farm.

  The framework of variational autoencoder (VAE) is commonly used to disentangle independent factors from observations. We propose a new VAE based framework named CausalVAE, which includes a Causal Layer to transform independent factors into causal endogenous ones. Results show that the causal representations learned by CausalVAE are semantically interpretable, and their causal relationship as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is identified with good accuracy.
