Induction Motor However, when monitoring capabilities are limited, this threshold is often adjusted for safety In scenarios where only three sensors monitor the winding temperature, a more comprehensive approach is necessary. It is often adjusted by lowering the alarm set point of the winding temperatures. To account for potential temperature variations that could cause inaccurate information due to measurements taken only in a specific area, the maximum allowable 287AF . pproximately 142AC). These precautionary measures help to safeguard motor integrity and Based on this adjusted limit, a two-tier alarm system was implemented as follows: Figure 2. Motor Winding Supriyono et al.

The Transformer and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models are foundational deep learning architectures used in time-series forecasting and sequence modeling. Transformer Model In the context of temperature prediction for induction motors, transformers excel at capturing long-range dependencies in sensor data, which is crucial for accuracy. Below is the sequence of building the models: Data Encoding: The preprocessed data are converted into tensors for efficient processing by the neural network model. Positional Encoding: Position information is embedded in the input sequence to preserve the temporal context. Transformer Encoder Module: The Transformer Encoder serves as a critical component for analyzing sequential and time-series data, leveraging self-attention capture temporal dependencies and contextual across the input. LSTM Decoder with Attention: The transformer output is then processed by an LSTM decoder employing an attention This combination enables the model to focus on the relevant input sequences, thereby enhancing its predictive In model performance evaluation, the loss value is calculated using the mean square error, and optimization was performed to minimize the loss, typically using the Adam optimizer . Finally, the modelAos performance was evaluated using the mean absolute error and root mean squared error as key metrics. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, developed by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber in 1997, is a specialized recurrent neural network (RNN) designed to overcome the vanishing gradient problem, a critical limitation in traditional RNNs that impedes learning of long-range dependencies in sequential data. LSTM uses gating mechanisms to control the flow of information through the network, enabling it to maintain information over long sequences. The key components of an LSTM unit include: Input Gate: This gate controls the input data . Forget Gate: The gate decides the information to discard from the cell state. Memory-cell Gate: The gate updates the cell state with new information. Output Gate: This gate determines the output at each time step. Memory-cell gate in the LSTM helps preserve long-term dependencies, making it suitable for sequence prediction tasks, such as predicting future temperature values based on previous The LSTM's ability to learn temporal dependencies from time-series data complements the Transformer's self-attention mechanism . While Transformer relationships, the LSTM focuses on learning temporal dynamics, and the combination of both architectures is effective for predicting winding temperatures in induction motors. Hybrid Transformer and Long-term Short Memory (TE-LSTM) The TE-LSTM model combines the Transformer's global attention mechanism with the LSTM's strength relative to learning sequential dependencies.

Positional embeddings are fed through the layers of the encoder. Each layer applies SelfAttention and Feedforward layers to extract functional patterns from the data. TransformerEncoder Block: The core of the Transformer is its self-attention mechanism, which computes attention scores for each pair of elements in a This allows the model to weigh the importance of each element in the sequence when making predictions. Mathematically, the selfattention mechanism can be defined as . Attention. cE, ya, ycO) = softmax ( ycEya ycN Ooyccyco )ycO . ycE represents the query matrix, and ya is the key matrix, and ycO is the value matrix, and yccyco is the dimension of the matrix ya. This mechanism allows the Transformer-Encoder to focus on different parts of the input sequence depending on the importance of each part, which makes it highly effective for time-series LSTM decoder with attention mechanism, where the output from the transformer encoder is input to the LSTM decoder. The concept behind the LSTM block, which focuses explicitly on capturing temporal dependencies in the data and using an attention mechanism, is that it can look back to relevant time stamps, facilitating better Learn attention scores with linear layers tanh between the Recognition Exception Output Layer: Finally, the LSTM decoder produces predictions of the temperature for the next step in accordance with the learned temperature from the prior steps. TE-LSTM combines the Transformer-Encoder with a global attention mechanism with LSTM to allow learning from sequential dependencies.

Motor A and B data were collected between January 2016 and December This resulted in over two million data points per motor, which were recorded at 1minute intervals. Two methods were used to handle missing data: replacing it with a fixed value of 90AF and removing the affected data. The replacement value of 90AF was chosen because during periods when the motor was not in operation, the winding temperature stabilized around 90AF while the motor's space heater was still in The data were then normalized using both Z-score and Min-Max normalization techniques, and the dataset was split into training . %) and testing . %) sets.
