Random forest classification data developed from multitemporal Landsat 8 spectral data and phenology metrics for a subregion in Sonoran and Mojave Deserts, April 2013 – December 2020

These data were compiled for the creation of a continuous, transboundary land cover map of Bird Conservation Region 33, Sonoran and Mojave Deserts (BCR 33). Objective(s) of our study were to, 1) develop a machine learning (ML) algorithm trained to classify vegetation land cover using remote sensing spectral data and phenology metrics from 2013-2020, over a large subregion of the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts BCR, 2) Calibrate, validate, and refine the final ML-derived vegetation map using a collection of openly sourced remote sensing and ground-based ancillary data, images, and limited fieldwork, and 3) Harmonize a new transboundary classification system by expanding existing land cover mapping resources from the United...

AI Supported Maintenance and Reliability System in Wind Energy Production

The paper describes the result of the research in the fields of supervision, failure detection and prognosis, control, maintenance planning and decision support performed for ensuring high level availability of wind turbines and wind farms. This activity is realized in the frame of the EU 7th Framework project ReliaWind: Reliability focused research on optimizing Wind Energy systems design, operation and maintenance: Tools, proof of concepts, guidelines & methodologies for a new generation. Wind turbines are relatively complex electro-mechanical systems, their smooth functioning is an important economical factor. The handling of this complexity is supported by various, applied artificial intelligence techniques...
