In many cases, the outage of one transmission line in a system can be localized by monitoring the power flow of another line, and machine learning methods can be used to distinguish the cases under uncertainty. In this study, we examine the improvements in line outage localization performance achieved by various ensemble classifiers compared to single-model methods. In the case studies, we compared the classification results with measurement data collected at observed transmission lines (OTLs) selected using three algorithms, i.e, greedy maximum coverage problem (MCP), high-eta, and random selection, based on two sensitivity factors, i.e., line outage distribution factors (LODFs) and line outage impact factors (LOIFs). We found that the OTLs selected by the greedy MCP algorithm yielded the highest F1 score and the ensemble classifiers significantly outperformed a base kNN classifier. The extra-trees bagging technique achieved the highest F1 score in many instances. All the findings were statistically significant.
Machine-learned surrogates for the AC power flow (ACPF) problem amortize the cost of repeated solves on a fixed network, but lose one to two orders of magnitude of accuracy when a line outage changes the topology. This degradation is an operator shift. The altered admittance matr…
Time series foundation models (TSFMs) have shown strong zero-shot forecasting performance, but their generalization in covariate-driven, non-stationary settings is underexplored. Electricity price forecasting (EPF) presents a challenging testbed due to complex temporal dependenci…
Open-access datasets for marine-engine predictive maintenance remain scarce, particularly those from controlled fault experiments with documented operating conditions, subsystem-level interventions and system-level measurements. This work presents the Marine Engine Fault Dataset,…
Small multirotor aircraft are increasingly tasked with operations in the atmospheric boundary layer, where turbulent winds comparable to the vehicle's airspeed degrade trajectory tracking and can defeat conventional feedback control. This work illustrates a two-stage learning pip…
This paper presents a data-driven method for modeling the pressure response of a hydraulic clutch control circuit. The system consists of a variable-force solenoid, accumulator, pressure regulator valve, and latch valve, and exhibits nonlinear behavior caused by hysteresis, latch…
Autonomous robotic navigation in nonstationary time-varying fluid flows remains a fundamental challenge due to partial observability and the unpredictability of realistic environments. While classical optimal control frameworks employed in robotics require unrealistic a-priori gl…
