Utilizing GPT4-o to analyze O\&M reports of 5089 photovoltaic plants, we classified outages according to the affected components and the underlying origin, identifying the most frequent string fault causes. An approach employing CUSUM Charts is introduced to identify substring outages within PV systems effectively. The methodology utilizes fundamental field data that is commonly available in practice. A filtering approach, combined with the use of CUSUM control charts, minimizes false positives, ensuring that only consistent underperformance is flagged as an out-age. The methodology returns far fewer false positives and more stable error intervals for substring outages than a former monitoring approach. Overall, the study demonstrates a significant improvement in detecting substring outages. The advanced methodology enables more effective O\&M for PV plants, where substring outages are reliably identified after a short detection time.}, language = {en} } @article{Kellner2024, author = {Kellner, Robert}, title = {Making Effective Videos and Live Online Lectures Quickly with a Live Composite Format}, series = {International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education (IJISME)}, volume = {2023}, journal = {International Journal of Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education (IJISME)}, number = {Vol. 31 No. 5}, publisher = {University of Sydney}, doi = {10.30722/IJISME.31.05.003}, pages = {29 -- 39}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Instructional videos are the dominant mode of content delivery in higher education. They can be an effective tool for delivering educational content, providing flexibility in time and location and improving students' understanding of the material. The effectiveness of such videos may be enhanced by applying principles for multimedia design, which are based on a cognitive theory of multimedia learning. One way to adhere to those principles is by showing the instructor together with additional visuals on screen. Some studies suggest that this may have a positive effect on student learning and overall performance. The combination of the instructor and other visuals is usually done in post-production editing, which can be a time-consuming process. In this paper, a live composition video format is proposed, where the instructor is integrated into the presentation during recording. Using this approach, it is possible for the instructor to interact with added visuals directly, requiring little to no post-production. Furthermore, this method can also be used to enrich and increase the efficacy of synchronous live online lectures.}, language = {en} }
