ABSTRACT

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions result from human activities like burning fossil fuels. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, contributing to global warming and climate change. Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions include transitioning to renewable energy. Monitoring and reducing CO2 emissions are crucial for mitigating climate change. Strategies include energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption. In the past few decades, several nations have experienced air pollution and environmental difficulties because of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. One of the most crucial methods for regulating and maximizing CO2 emission reductions is precise forecasting. Four machine learning algorithms with high forecasting precision and low data requirements were developed in this study to estimate CO2 emissions in the United States (US). Data from a dataset covering the years 1973/01 to 2022/07 that included information on different energy sources that had an impact on CO2 emissions were examined. Then, four algorithms performed the CO2 emissions forecast from the layer recurrent neural network with 10 nodes (L-RNN), a feed-forward neural network with 10 nodes (FFNN), a convolutional neural network with two layers with 10 and 5 filters (CNN1), and convolutional neural network with two layers and with 50 and 25 filters (CNN2) models. Each algorithm's forecast accuracy was assessed using eight indicators. The three preprocessing techniques used are (1) without any processing techniques, (2) processed using max-min normalization technique, and (3) processed using max-min normalization technique and decomposed by variation mode decomposition (VMD) technique with 7 intrinsic mode functions and 1000 iterations. The latter with L-RNN algorithm gave a high accuracy between the forecasting and actual values. The results of CO2 emissions from 2011/05 to 2022/07 have been forecasted, and the L-RNN algorithm had the highest forecast accuracy. The L-RNN model has the lowest value of 1.187028078, 135.5668592, and 11.64331822 for MAPE, MSE, and RMSE, respectively. The L-RNN model provides precise and timely forecasts that can help formulate plans to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future. Moreover, the results of this investigation can improve our comprehension of the dynamics of carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in better-informed environmental policies and initiatives targeted at lowering carbon emissions.

ABSTRACT

The current work contributes an estimate of the time-frequency characteristics of a leakage current in assessing the health condition of a polluted polymeric insulator. A 33 kV polymer insulator string was subjected to a series of laboratory tests under a range of environmental conditions, including pollution, wetting rate (WR), non-soluble deposit density (NSDD), and non-uniform distribution pollution (FT/B). The temporal and frequency features of the leakage current were then extracted and used as assessment indicators for insulator conditions based on laboratory test findings. Two indices were generated from the leakage current waveform in the time domain: the curve slope index (F1), which is determined by measuring the inclination of the curve between two successive time peaks of the leakage current, and the crest factor indicator (F2). The frequency domain of the leakage current signal was used to calculate the other two indices. These are the odd harmonic indicators derived from the odd frequency harmonics of the leakage current up to the 9th component (F3) and the 5th to 3rd harmonics ratio (F4). The findings showed that the suggested indicators were capable of evaluating insulator conditions. Finally, the confusion matrix for the experimental and prediction results obtained with the proposed indices was used to assess which indicator performed the best. Therefore, the analysis suggests an alternative and effective method for estimating the health condition of a polluted insulator through leakage current characteristics obtained in the time and frequency domains.
