    (Journal of Applied Science & Environmental Management, 2020) Abdullateef, A. I; Fagbolagun, O.S; Sanusi, M. F; Akorede, M.F; Afolayan, M.A
    Induction motors are the backbone of the industries because they are easy to operate, rugged, economical and reliable. However, they are subjected to stator’s faults which damage the windings and consequently lead to machine failure and loss of revenue. Early detection and classification of these faults are important for the effective operation of induction motors. Stators faults detection and classification based on wavelet Transform was carried out in this study. The feature extraction of the acquired data was achieved using lifting decomposition and reconstruction scheme while Euclidean distance of the Wavelet energy was used to classify the faults. The Wavelet energies increased for all three conditions monitored, normal condition, inter-turn fault and phase-to-phase fault, as the frequency band of the signal decreases from D1 to A3. The deviations in the Euclidean Distance of the current of the Wavelet energy obtained for the phase-to-phase faults are 99.1909, 99.8239 and 87.9750 for phases A and B, A and C, B and C respectively. While that of the inter-turn faults in phases A, B and C are 77.5572, 61.6389 and 62.5581 respectively. Based on the Euclidean distances of the faults, Df and normal current signals, three classification points were set: K1 = 0.60 x 102, K2 = 0.80 x 102 and K3 = 1.00 x 102. For K2 ≥ Df ≥ K1 inter-turn faults is identified and for K3 ≥ Df ≥ K2 phase to phase fault identified. This will improve the induction motors stator’s fault diagnosis.

    Parametric Model Based Approach for Consumer Load Prediction.
    (2019) Abdullateef, A. I; Akorede, M.F; Abdulkarim, A; Salami, M.J.E
    Various load prediction techniques have been proposed to predict consumer load which represents the activities of the consumer on the distribution network. Usually, these techniques use cumulative energy consumption data of the consumers connected to the power network to predict consumer load. However, these data fail to reveal and monitor the activities of individual consumer represented by the consumer load consumption pattern. A new approach of predicting individual consumer load based on autoregressive moving average model (ARMA) is proposed in this study. Sub- optimal technique of parameter estimation based on Prony method was used to determine the model order of the ARMA models ARMA (10, 8), ARMA (8, 6) and ARMA (6, 4). ARMA (6, 4) was found to be appropriate for consumer load prediction with an average mean square error of 0.00006986 and 0.0000685 for weekday and weekend loads respectively. The energy consumption data acquired from consumer load prototype for one week, with 288 data points per day used in our previous work, was used and 5-minute step ahead load prediction is achieved. Furthermore, a comparison between autoregressive AR (20) and ARMA (6, 4) was carried out and ARMA (6, 4) was found to be appropriate for consumer load prediction. This facilitates the monitoring of individual consumer activities connected on the power network
