The digitalization of the power distribution grid has surged over the past decade. This
transformation has given rise to a host of new data-driven applications focused on condition …

Implementing the concept of a “smart furnace transformer” should stipulate its information
support throughout its life cycle. This requires improving techniques for estimating the …

Reliability analysis has a very important role in supporting the operation of a system in harsh
working conditions such as mines. Haul trucks are considering as a main asset of an open …

This paper proposes and evaluates the behavior of a new health indicator to estimate the
capacity fade of lithium-ion batteries and their state of health (SOH). This health indicator is …

Evaluating the physical degradation behavior and estimating the lifetime of engineering
systems and structures is crucial to ensure their safe and reliable operation. However …

Estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) or the state of health (SoH) of electrical
components such as power connectors is still a challenging and complex task. Power …

For modern machines, factories and electric and autonomous vehicles, the importance of
vreliable electrical connectors cannot be overstated. With an increasing number of …

This paper proposes an approach to estimate the state of health of DC-DC converters that
feed the electrical system of an electric vehicle. They have an important role in providing a …

The electrical resistance, and in particular, the electrical contact resistance (ECR), plays a
critical role in the electrical and thermal behaviors of substation connectors. Despite its …

Lifetime is an important feature defining the reliability of electrical connectors. In general
practice, the lifetime tests required for reliability estimation are time and labor intensive. In …
