A novel transformer-enhanced and acoustic-based approach for wind turbine blade fault detection with integrated system implementation

Rising global wind power capacity urgently requires effective real-time turbine monitoring. Complex installations, high maintenance costs, and the occasional need for turbine shutdown hinder conventional monitoring methods. Acoustic-based techniques, while cost-efficient for health assessments, currently face challenges with detection precision and signal processing capabilities in complex acoustic environments. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes a low-cost, AI-driven acoustic-based health monitoring system framework for wind turbine blades, featuring enhanced detection accuracy and signal processing capabilities in complex sound environments. Firstly, a microphone array is employed to capture blade sounds with rich spatial attributes, while beamforming algorithms with a fixed orientation integrate prior spatial information. Furthermore, to further strengthen signal processing and fault detection capabilities, the Transformer model based on self-attention mechanisms is employed for feature extraction and fault diagnosis. An actual wind turbine blade health monitoring system is designed and developed to validate the usability of the proposed framework. Experimental results based on a scaled-down wind turbine model validate the proposed algorithm's effectiveness and practicality, presenting an effective approach in the wind turbine blade health monitoring domain.

Analysis of Strategic Factors for Successful Integrated System Implementation: Experiences from the Co-operative University of Kenya

An integrated resource planning (ERP) system is essential for automation of manual routine tedious organizational processes. It is meant to improve efficiency and effectiveness at work. However, implementation of such systems, if not properly organized and appropriate strategies put in place to ensure its success, may take unnecessarily longer time than anticipated, or the whole system abandoned all together. This study sought to establish the most effective strategies that ensure successful and timely integrated system implementation. Systems theory and Process theory approaches were used to anchor the study. Case study was adopted as the research design. The population of the study comprised twelve (12) departments within Co-operative University of Kenya where different system modules were rolled out for implementation. Primary data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires. Since data collected was largely categorical in nature, Chi-square was used to analyze relationship between variables. It was established that personal interest and optimism is the most influential strategy in determining success and pace in integrated system implementation. The key recommendation that the study offers as insight to policy makers, body of theory and practitioners is the need to deliberately concentrate on strategies that induce personal interest and optimism among employees so as to ensure success during implementation of a new system or change.

ЦИФРОВІЗАЦІЯ МІСЦЕВОГО САМОВРЯДУВАННЯ В УМОВАХ ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗАЦІЇ ВЛАДИ: ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ТА ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНІ АСПЕКТИ

The article analyzes the main promising areas of digitalization of local self-government in the context of management science. It is proved that such areas are: opening public information about the activities of local selfgovernment; introduction of e-democracy technologies; digitalization of management processes in local self-government; digitalization of public services by local self-government; introduction of smart technologies into community infrastructure at various levels. The choice of priority depends on the needs and priorities of a particular community and local self-government. As the scope of digitalization widens across society at large, multilevel governance arrangements have become more complex and more consequential to the coherence, performance, and accountability. While this assertion has arguably been true for quite some time, the emergence of Covid-19 has magnified its importance. At the moment, Ukraine already has positive examples of the use of «digital» technologies. The advantages that municipal structures receive from the introduction of digital technologies in their work have been shown. The results show that there is a relationship between the degree of digitalization in a municipality and the perceived satisfaction among its citizens. The findings show that outdated laws and the culture of paper document flows were institutional barriers to the digitalization. Other barriers included non-use of an integrated system implementation approach as well as inadequate and unreliable online access for all the participating units.

Changes in the Product Costing Process Driven by Implementation of an Integrated Information System in a Production Company

Abstract The article deals with product costing in a manufacturing company and change of costing methodology from normal to standard costing caused by a new integrated information system implementation. The aim of the article is to show the impact of a new integrated information system on product costing. In order to show the consequences of changing the methodology of product costing from normal to standard costing variances between standard costing and normal costing in an international production company were analyzed. For this research comparative analysis was used of unit costs before and after the new system implementation for finished goods. Ten percent of the items had a variance of more than 30% which was caused by errors in the new system settings and mistakes in the normal costs in the old system. The impact of the change of the costing methodology was shown by calculation of the difference between normal cost values and standard cost values ten months after the new integrated information system implementation. To verify the accuracy of standard costs settings, standard costs were compared to actual costs for finished goods and semi-finished goods. In the tenth period only 30% of finished goods and 42% of semi-finished goods showed a variance between standard costs and actual costs lower than 20%. It means that for the rest of the items standard cost assumptions should be checked and corrected. The results of the study indicate that a change in product costing methodology driven by new integrated information system implementation has an impact on company revenues. The direction of the change depends on the accuracy of previous system settings. It is impossible to implement a new system without increase or decrease of sales. The most important limitation of the research is that only one manufacturing company was studied. This was connected with data availability. The research methodology can be used by manufacturing companies to assess the impact of new integrated system implementation on their revenues. Literature concerning integrated information system implementation focuses on its advantages and disadvantages therefore the author of the article wants to concentrate on its impact on the profit and loss account, specifically on revenues.

RECONFIGURABLE devices, a representative of which is field programmable gate array (FPGA), are picking up their notoriety as a method for the integrated system implementation since the nonrecurring designing expense of use Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) is raising as the fabrication technology becomes finer and finer. In the existing system, The architecture utilizes the FEoL layers for a fine-grained look into coarse-grained number arithmetic/memory units for up execution and similarity with shifted applications. A contextual analysis of use mapping demonstrates the proposed design can decrease the array region by 21.7%. In the proposed system, a MEMS based resistivity variable Memory architecture is developed in which the tunable Index utilizes the speed of accessing the memory units very fast and can be varied by tuning the digital inputs of the FPGA. The application to be developed here is the development of Hardware based memristor circuit and Memory design in FPGA. By using this we can decrease Area and power consumption.

Institutional Barriers to Digitalization of Government Budgeting in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Ghana

AbstractThis paper aims to understand how and why institutional barriers constrain digitalization of government budgeting in a developing country context. E‐Government studies that specifically focus on public sector budgeting as a cross‐agency activity remain limited. While the dominant research focus has been on government interactions with citizens and businesses, budgeting as a significant cross‐agency process is yet to receive the necessary research attention. To address this gap, this study employed institutional theory as the analytical lens and qualitative, interpretive case study as the methodology to investigate a government budgeting digitalization project and related challenges in the developing country context of Ghana. The findings show that outdated laws and the culture of paper document flows were institutional barriers to the budgeting digitalization. Other barriers included non‐use of an integrated system implementation approach as well as inadequate and unreliable online access for all the participating units. The originality of the paper lies in its focus on government budgeting as a significant e‐government research phenomenon.

Adoption and development of integrated crop–livestock–forestry systems in Mato Grosso, Brazil

By combining crop, livestock and/or forestry activities in the same area, integrated systems (IS) can increase organic matter content in the soil – which favors biomass production and allows for higher livestock stocking rates in pasturelands. The implementation of IS is therefore seen as a promising strategy for sustainable agricultural intensification in Brazil, particularly in Mato Grosso state (MT). However, despite the benefits associated with IS and incentives offered by the federal government to stimulate their dissemination, little is known about these systems or the challenges to implement them, and only a limited number of farmers have adopted IS so far. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of all IS identified in Mato Grosso by 2012/13, which were mapped and described in terms of their main technical and non-technical features. These findings were combined with farm survey data set to provide a detailed account of the various technologies currently being disseminated, their individual diffusion levels and potential adoption constraints. Results generated through qualitative and quantitative research methods give an overview of IS’ state of the art, reveal farmer perception of such technology and offer insights into the prospects for low-carbon agriculture in the region. The study’s major findings are that IS are present in more than 40 of the 141 municipalities of MT, and the vast majority (89%) involve only crop and livestock. Farmers have adopted three different crop–livestock configurations, depending on their production strategy. Cultural aspects play a major role in farmer decisions to adopt IS, credit provision has not been relevant for IS adoption, and a broader dissemination of IS may occur as land transitions continue.

Biotechnological Production of Polyhydroxyalkanoates: A Review on Trends and Latest Developments

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) producers have been reported to reside at various ecological niches which are naturally or accidently exposed to high organic matter or growth limited conditions such as dairy wastes, hydrocarbon contaminated sites, pulp and paper mill wastes, agricultural wastes, activated sludges of treatment plants, rhizosphere, and industrial effluents. Few among them also produce extracellular by-products like rhamnolipids, extracellular polymeric substances, and biohydrogen gas. These sorts of microbes are industrially important candidates for the reason that they can use waste materials of different origin as substrate with simultaneous production of valuable bioproducts including PHA. Implementation of integrated system to separate their by-products (intracellular and extracellular) can be economical in regard to production. In this review, we have discussed various microorganisms dwelling at different environmental conditions which stimulate them to accumulate carbon as polyhydroxyalkanoates granules and factors influencing its production and composition. A brief aspect on metabolites which are produced concomitantly with PHA has also been discussed. In conclusion, exploring of capabilities like of dual production by microbes and use of wastes as renewable substrate under optimized cultural conditions either in batch or continuous process can cause deduction in present cost of bioplastic production from stored PHA granules.
