  1. 1. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
    Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

    Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

  3. 2. Dam Failure Analysis of the Parteboda Hydropower Plant : A deterministic approach

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Magnus Simon Graf; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite all the benefits a dam can provide, hundreds of years of experience have shown the destructive forces that can be unleashed by dam failure. To carry out risk management and execute mitigative measures for a dam facility, it is first necessary to assess the incremental consequences of a potential dam failure. READ MORE

    Author : Jarl Jensen; Markus Leijström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The monitoring of dam structures is of great importance for the safety of the dam.A dam failure can cause disastrous consequences for people and infrastructure downstream.Dams are monitored by periodic inspections and monitoring systems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Installation of cables for monitoring purposes in the ground by using Horizontal Directional Drilling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Eduardo Garcia Cañas; [2022]
    Keywords : HDD; Earth Embankment Dam; Resistivity; ERT; IP; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The median age for Swedish earth embankment dams is about 60 years. Due to its longevity, one of the major concerns is the internal erosion causing increased seepage through the dam, which ultimately may increases the risk for dam failure. To meet this challenge, there is a need for improved monitoring methods. READ MORE

  6. 5. From Log-Data to Regressive Machine Learning Models for Predictive Maintenance : A case study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknik

    Author : Lucas Christiaan van Dam; [2022]
    Keywords : Predictive maintenance; Log-data; Remaining useful lifetime; Regression models; Machine learning; Component degradation;

    Abstract : There are three ways to deal with component failure: reactive maintenance, preventive maintenance, and predictive maintenance. Reactive maintenance is to repair only once something breaks. Preventive maintenance is to repair before it breaks, independent of actual wear. READ MORE
