With the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) computing, it has become possible to acquire users' health-related contexts from various IoT devices and to diagnose their biological aging through analysis of the IoT health contexts. However, previous work on methods of aging diagnosis used a fixed list of aging diagnosis factors, making it difficult to handle the variability of users' IoT health contexts and to dynamically adapt the addition and deletion of aging diagnosis factors. This paper proposes a design and methods for a dynamically adaptable aging diagnosis framework that acquires a set of IoT health contexts from various IoT devices based on a set of aging diagnosis factors of the user. By using the proposed aging diagnosis framework, aging diagnosis methods can be applied without considering the variability of IoT health contexts and aging diagnosis factors can be dynamically added and deleted.

The installation of PV system to the power distribution system is being increased as one of solutions for environmental pollution and energy crisis. However, the efficiency of PV system is getting decreased because of the aging phenomenon and several operation obstacles. Therefore, The technology development of aging diagnosis of PV modules are required in order to improve operation performance of PV modules. This paper proposes evaluation algorithm for aging state in PV modules by using the electrical characteristics of PV modules and environmental factors. And also, this paper presents a operation evaluation system of PV modules based on the proposed aging diagnosis algorithm of PV modules. From the simulation results of proposed evaluation system, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm is a useful tool for aging diagnosis of PV systems.

It has been confirmed that the inner defect of transformer and the perfect diagnosis for aging are closely related to safe electric power transmission system and that the detection of accident and diagnosis technique turn out to be very important issues. Since electric power machinery consists of various kinds of components, however, it is very difficult to make a diagnosis for aging by one parameter. Thus, diagnosis for aging is feasible only through the combination of various parameters. Recently, various expert systems have been developed and applied to diagnosis for aging, but they are not yet reliable enough to apply to the real system. In this paper, XLPE which is ultra high voltage cable insulator material were chosen to investigate the influence of void on insulator material using partial discharge. Obtained data have been processed by PRPD (phased resolved partial discharge) distribution function and K-means. And statistical and cluster distribution of partial discharge have been analysed and investigated.

The partial discharge has been blown as the chief breakdown of power equipments. The analysis and the recognition is much difficult because the partial discharge signal is very small and has complex aging pattern. Recently, insulation aging diagnosis based on pattern of phase(Ф), partial discharge magnitude(q), number(n) has been very important. Owing to depreciate the reappearance of aging progress at the electrical tree pattern and to be difficult to analyze visually, the study on partial discharge pattern is suggested to normalizing analysis method of partial discharge signals. This parer is purposed on prediction of life-time measurement of cv-cable, on decision of risk degree with normalization and real-time measurement of partial discharge signals for aging diagnosis of cv-cable. As normalizing the aging signals of electrical tree in cv-cable, it is able to confirm risk degree of insulation material with the distribution of Ф-q-n and recognize the process of aging pattern using neural network.

In this paper, we propose a new diagnosis method of DC/UC converter aging. The method is based on parasitic resister change with aging process. we apply to on-line diagnosis of DC/DC converter because of observing not a device but a system. We present the mathematical analysis and experimental study.

A new measurement system was developed by fault diagnosis system for traction motor using current signal analysis. The motor current signature analysis method is used for traction motor fault diagnosis. The diagnosis system program is constructed by artificial neural networks algorithm, those results from the program are used to train neural networks. The trained neural networks have the ability to compute adaptive results for non-trained inputs, and to calculate very fast due to original parallel structure of neural networks with high accuracy within destined tolerance. This system suggested that available test for checking, the probable extent of aging, and the rate of which aging is taking place.

In this paper, aging diagnosis method of CV cable was investigated. CV cable was designed for the sake of using during 30 years. Therefore it was important to evaluate the cable's remaining life because CV cable used for power transmission line since 1970's. CV cable was mainly installed at the underground owing to the environmental condition. If the cable accident occurred, it needs the much time for the accident recovery and the much damage at the industrial activity. therefore, this paper should study the direct leakage current method, a sort of the cables' aging test method

Substation facilities have become extremely large and complex parts of electric power systems. The development of condition monitoring and diagnosis techniques has been a very significant factor in the improvement of substation transformer security. This paper presents a method to analyze the cause, the degree, and the aging process power transformers by the Self Organizing Map (SOM) method. Dissolved gas data were non-linearly transformed by the sigmoid function in SOM that works much the same way as the human decision making process. The potential for failure and the degree of aging of normal transformers are identified by using the proposed quantitative criterion. Furthermore, transformer aging is monitored by the proposed criterion for a set of transformers. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, a case study is performed and its results are presented.
