Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a computer-aided method for transforming data in a relational database, containing sensor measurements, into RDF data blocks of a graph database. The method may include: providing a R2RML mapping file; breaking down and converting the data using the mapping file and a first mapping parser; generating a generation of RDF data blocks; and storing the generation as a database. After the data have been broken down and converted, checking a quality of the obtained R2RML mapping and creating a second R2RML mapping file, on the basis of which the relational data are broken down and converted into RDF data blocks. The second R2RML mapping, during the preparation of the relational data into RDF data blocks, automatically stops the processing of relational data that are not to be resolved and thus optimizes the energy efficiency of the preparation.

Abstract

A physics-based network model is trained to learn weights such as trapping, detrapping, and/or transport of holes and/or electrons, as well as voltage distribution on a voxel-by-voxel basis throughout a solid-state detector model. The physics-based network may be used to estimate material property variation throughout the voxels. To reduce the number of experimental setups and information needed to train the models, the models may be trained using more easily acquired ground truth. Just the electrode signals or just the free charge data is used to train the model to characterize the solid-state detector. With this reduced data, the detector may be characterized using equivalency, such as combining multiple trapping centers to an equivalent trapping center. Regularization may be used in the loss calculation, such as where just the electrode signals are used, to deal with the reduced data available as ground truth.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for online calibration of power system model against a power system includes iteratively approximating the power system model to a time-domain system model, at sequential optimization steps, as a function of parameter values of a set of system parameters. At each optimization step, an error is measured between a time series of a model output in response to the dynamic input signal and a time series of measurement signals obtained from the measurement devices defining an actual power system response to the dynamic input signal, summed over a number of discretized points in time with a defined sampling interval. A sequential optimizer is used to adjust parameter values of the calibration parameters and a system state to minimize the measured error, constrained by a discretization of the time-domain system model based on the sampling interval, to thereby determine optimal values of the calibration parameters.
