Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In this paper, a novel approach for identifying and modelling the onset of cavitation surge in hydropower units is proposed. For the considered test case, three regimes of cavitation surge are identified through data clustering based on experts’ criteria. This clustering makes it possible to predict the onset conditions of each regime as a function of the unit’s operating parameters by using a Machine Learning classifier algorithm. The influence of the surge frequency and amplitude on the response of both the shaft line and generator is also highlighted. Finally, the potential for automatizing this approach through data dimension reduction and clustering algorithms is briefly explored and discussed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
