Since bearing deterioration patterns are difficult to collect from real, long lifetime scenarios, data-driven research has been directed towards recovering them by imposing accelerated life tests. Consequently, insufficiently recovered features due to rapid damage propagation seem more likely to lead to poorly generalized learning machines. Knowledge-driven learning comes as a solution by providing prior assumptions from transfer learning. Likewise, the absence of true labels was able to create inconsistency related problems between samples, and teacher-given label behaviors led to more ill-posed predictors. Therefore, in an attempt to overcome the incomplete, unlabeled data drawbacks, a new autoencoder has been designed as an additional source that could correlate inputs and labels by exploiting label information in a completely unsupervised learning scheme. Additionally, its stacked denoising version seems to more robustly be able to recover them for new unseen data. Due to the non-stationary and sequentially driven nature of samples, recovered representations have been fed into a transfer learning, convolutional, long–short-term memory neural network for further meaningful learning representations. The assessment procedures were benchmarked against recent methods under different training datasets. The obtained results led to more efficiency confirming the strength of the new learning path.

Condition Monitoring of photovoltaic systems plays an important role in maintenance interventions due to its ability to solve problems of loss of energy production revenue. Nowadays, machine learning-based failure diagnosis is becoming increasingly growing as an alternative to various difficult physical-based interpretations and the main pile foundation for condition monitoring. As a result, several methods with different learning paradigms (e.g. deep learning, transfer learning, reinforcement learning, ensemble learning, etc.) have been used to address different condition monitoring issues. Therefore, the aim of this paper is at least, to shed light on the most relevant work that has been done so far in the field of photovoltaic systems machine learning-based condition monitoring.

To ensure the continuity of electric power generation for photovoltaic systems, condition monitoring frameworks are subject to major enhancements. The continuous uniform delivery of electric power depends entirely on a well-designed condition maintenance program. A just-in-time task to deal with several naturally occurring faults can be correctly undertaken via the cooperation of effective detection, diagnosis, and prognostic analyses. Therefore, the present review first outlines different failure modes to which all photovoltaic systems are subjected, in addition to the essential integrated detection methods and technologies. Then, data-driven paradigms, and their contribution to solving this prediction problem, are also explored. Accordingly, this review primarily investigates the different learning architectures used (i.e., ordinary, hybrid, and ensemble) in relation to their learning frameworks (i.e., traditional and deep learning). It also discusses the extension of machine learning to knowledge-driven approaches, including generative models such as adversarial networks and transfer learning. Finally, this review provides insights into different works to highlight various operating conditions and different numbers and types of failures, and provides links to some publicly available datasets in the field. The clear organization of the abundant information on this subject may result in rigorous guidelines for the trends adopted in the future.

This paper proposes an optimum design of a diesel/PV/wind/battery hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) for rural electrification in a remote district in Tamanrasset, Algeria. In this study, a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) has been proposed to solve a multi-objective optimization problem, which was created by carrying out simultaneously, the cost of energy (COE) minimization while maximizing the reliability of power supply described as the loss of power supply probability (LPSP) and a renewable fraction (RF). The simulation results show that the PV/WT/DG/BT is the best economic configuration with a reasonable annual cost of the optimal system (ACS) which is about 7798.71 $ and the COE equal to 0.79 $/kWh for an LPSP = 0.01%, where the ten households are 0.99 % satisfied by renewable energy sources.

In this paper, we present a system for handwriting digit recognition using different invariant features extraction and multiple classifiers. In the feature extraction we use four types: cavities, Zernike moments, Hu moments, Histogram of Gradient (HOG). Firstly, the features are used independently by five classifiers: K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machines (SVM) one versus one, SVM one versus all, Decision Tree, MLP. Then to achieve the best possible classification performance in terms of recognition rate, three methods of classifiers Combination rule employed: majority vote, Borda count and maximum rule. Experiments are performed on the well-known MNIST database of handwritten digits. The results demonstrated that the combination of KNN using HOG features with SVMOVA using Zernike moments by Borda count rule have considered to be good based on a geometric transformation invariance.
