Student theses

Energy disaggregation for industrial load monitoring using deep learning
Motivation
  • Component-level measurements are often unavailable. NILM techniques offer a cost-effective alternative but have primarily been developed for residential settings. (See, e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s42162-022-00230-7?) 

Objectives 
  • Investigate NILM for industrial energy data
  • Compare novel generative approaches with a conventional baseline (CNN-, LSTM-, ...)
  • Evaluate reconstruction quality for downstream applications

Research Question
  • Which architectures transfer best to industrial environments?

Deliverables
  • Benchmark comparison
  • Open evaluation pipeline

The thesis can be written in German or English. The scope can be tuned based on the personal interests aswell as the type of the thesis. A good to strong knowledge in ML-/AI-methods is recommended to get started quickly.
In case you are interested, please send an inquiry via email. Ideally, attach some information about your person (e.g. CV, transcript of records, ...).

Examination of different anomaly definitions for industrial energy loads
Motivation
  • Anomaly detection algorithms heavily depends on the definition of what an anomaly is. Hence, further knowledge about the effects of different anomaly definitions is needed!

Objectives 
  • Research and implement different anomaly definitions for industrial energy data
  • Compare the performance of the anomaly detection with different anomaly definitions

Research Question
  • Which anomaly definition works best for industrial environments?

Deliverables
  • Benchmark comparison
  • Open evaluation pipeline

Context-aware anomaly detection for industrial energy loads
Motivation
  • Many apparent anomalies disappear once contextual variables are considered. Hence, further knowledge about the effects of different context variables is needed!

Objectives 
  • Research and implement different context variables for industrial loads (e.g. calendar information, weather, ...) for anomaly detection
  • Compare the performance of the anomaly detection with different context variables (each one isolated but also combined contexts)

Research Question
  • Which contextual information can benefit the anomaly detection process?

Deliverables
  • Benchmark comparison
  • Open evaluation pipeline

The thesis can be written in German or English. The scope can be tuned based on the personal interests aswell as the type of the thesis. A good to strong knowledge in ML-/AI-methods is recommended to get started quickly.

Explicit separation of slow and fast dynamics for industrial energy monitoring
Motivation
  • Data-based modelling approaches often try to learn the input-output connections directly from the data. It is assumed that the explicit separation (as some kind of preprocessing) can improve overall model performance.

Objectives 
  • Research and develop representations that separate operational dynamics from degradation dynamics for energy monitoring with focus on anomaly detection
  • Compare the performance of the anomaly detection with the available separated dynamics with a baseline

Research Question

  • How can industrial energy loads be smartly decomposed to better show the operational and the degradation dynamics?
  • Does the explicit temporal decomposition improve anomaly detection?

Deliverables
  • Benchmark comparison
  • Open evaluation pipeline

Early and reliable prediction of industrial energy anomalies using deep learning
Motivation
  • Anomaly detection approaches are often focussed on detecting an anomaly when it occurs. To improve overall process efficiency, it is desirable to also predict anomalies before they occur. 
  • Moreover, predicting when an anomaly will occur is often more useful that predicting whether an anomaly will occur.
  • On top of that, operational decisions require trustworthy probability estimates rather than binary predictions.
Objectives 
  • Research and develop different anomaly prediction routines (e.g. binary approaches: anomaly within 24h, 48h, 7d but also continuous approaches: anomaly scores, "time-to-anomaly", other approaches from survival analysis) 
  • Research and develop approaches to provide a statistical level of certainty for the predictions (e.g. 95% certain)

Research Question

  • How can anomalies be predicted in the future?
  • How reliable are the predicted anomalies and how can the reliability be measured?

Deliverables
  • Benchmark comparison
  • Open evaluation pipeline
