    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe aerial fiber optical cable localization using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) that advantageously may determine the locality of electrical transformers affixed to utility poles along with the aerial fiber optical cable as well as any length(s) of fiber optical cable between the poles. Further aspects employ survey manned or unmanned, aerial or terrestrial survey vehicles that acoustically excite locations along the fiber optical cable and associate those DAS excitations with global positioning location (GPS).

    Abstract: Disclosed are twin-based systems and methods for predicting solar power generation and optimizing power generation and distribution processes. Employed are a digital twin model of a solar power plant, which includes detailed representations of various components, such as solar panels, inverters, and transformers, as well as real-time weather data and historical data. This advantageously allows for accurate simulations of plant performance under various weather conditions and operational scenarios. Our systems and methods Incorporate novel machine learning algorithms that are trained on historical and real-time data from the digital twin model, weather data, solar power generation data, and other relevant factors. These algorithms utilize an advanced ensemble learning approach, which combines multiple predictive models, such as deep learning, support vector machines, and decision trees, to achieve higher accuracy and robustness in predicting solar power generation

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to determine barometric pressure 1) using multiple low-cost pressure sensors located at known heights instead of a single high-cost sensor; 2) determines an actual pressure value—not by averaging multiple sensors but rather optimizing an expected error in each individual one of them and utilize their known sensor heights thereby defining a new error function; 3) our approach is scalable, i.e. the number of sensors can be increased, and multiple sensors can be grouped together into smaller cells such that each group of cell can be corrected separately, and can even be corrected among themselves. Finally, our systems and methods according to the present disclosure can advantageously be integrated with a distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) system via acoustic modems thereby providing extremely wide-area external, or interior buildings pressure readings.

    Abstract: A radio-controlled, two-way acoustic modem for operating with a distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) system including circuitry that receives radio signals including configuration information, configures the modem to operate according to the configuration information, and generate acoustic signals that are detected by the DFOS system. The acoustic modem includes one or more sensors that detect environmental information that is encoded in the acoustic signals for further reception by the DFOS system. The received configuration information may change the operating times, sensors or other operating aspects of the modem as desired and such information may be transmitted from a fixed location or a mobile vehicle.
