SUMMARY:Engineering a Safe Voyage: Overcoming Mechanical Failures and Navigational Challenges Across Bass Strait
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nAt the end of January this year\, Dr Peter Doe\, EIT Academic Board member\, bought a 39ft trawler style motorboat as part of his retirement plan. The boat\, John B 2\, named after the 1980’s Beach Boys song ‘The sloop John B’ was in a marina at Bateman’s Bay on the south coast of New South Wales. The plan was to motor the John B 2 to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania’s marina in Sandy Bay\, Hobart\, so Peter could sleep overnight after band rehearsals to avoid driving at night to his new home at Dover\, 72 km south of Hobart. \nThat was the plan. In preparation for the passage south the John B 2 was slipped\, her hull cleaned and a fresh coat of anti-fouling applied. The two 120HP Ford Lehman diesel engines were serviced\, new electronic navigation equipment was fitted\, and a professional skipper and crew hired for the delivery voyage to Hobart\, tracking down the NSW coast\, across Bass Strait\, past Flinders Island and down the East Coast of Tasmania; a distance of 483 Nautical Miles (895 km). At an average speed of 7.5 knots the voyage was expected to take 2 days and 18 hours.\nBass Strait\, between Tasmania and the mainland of Australia is a notoriously dangerous waterway. It is relatively shallow – 100 to 200m deep – and in the path of the “Roaring 40’s winds”. Many ships and lives have been lost over the years. To cross Bass Strait safely you need a seaworthy boat\, an experienced crew\, and most importantly good weather. \nThis webinar recounts the journey of the John B 2 from Batemans Bay to Hobart arriving on 1 August 2024 after six months and two unsuccessful attempts. The first sailing was abandoned at the fishing port of Eden\, only 80 NM down the NSW coast when one of the engines failed and had to be replaced. The second attempt was also abandoned when both engines choked on contaminated fuel after entering Bass Strait. In the webinar Dr Doe recounts how the engine and fuel problems were overcome. The successful outcome is a testament to his perseverance and expertise. It is also a cautionary tale for anyone planning on buying a boat. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nHidden Costs of Second-hand Purchases: Buying second-hand boats\, like many used items\, can come with unexpected challenges and hidden costs. The issues faced during the John B 2’s voyage underscore the importance of thorough inspections and preparation. As the Latin phrase goes\, “Caveat Emptor” — let the buyer beware.\nNavigating Challenges: The journey from Batemans Bay to Hobart was marked by engine failures and fuel contamination\, showing that even the best-laid plans can encounter setbacks. Success required perseverance\, problem-solving\, and the right expertise\, highlighting the complexities of managing a seafaring vessel.\n“It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done”: Despite multiple setbacks and challenges\, the eventual successful arrival of the John B 2 in Hobart demonstrates the truth of Nelson Mandela’s words. With determination\, what seems impossible can eventually be achieved\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Mechanical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nGraduate Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical)\nGraduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Mechanical)\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Dual Fuel Engines\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Onshore and Offshore Pipeline Systems\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\nProfessor Peter Doe\, EIT Academic Board Member \nDr Peter Doe retired from his position as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in 2003 after having headed up the University of Tasmania’s School of Engineering in Launceston and for a year\, also the Head of Architecture.

SUMMARY:Predicting and Preventing Malfunctions: A Revolutionary Approach to Condition-Based Asset Performance Management (APM)
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nIn the renewable energy industry\, a single component malfunction can significantly impact the entire network’s performance. Asset failures in solar and wind farms can bring down a whole network of infrastructure\, affecting thousands of customers and decreasing network reliability\, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore\, there is a strong imperative to predict and avoid malfunctions in such highly connected systems. Sophisticated reliability models using new Machine Leaning (ML) techniques are proving to be a game-changer for asset performance management. Data and artificial intelligence are being used to predict malfunctions at any future point in time and facilitate the shift to condition than time-based maintenance. Early detection and more precise information can indicate which components or equipment will need to be repaired or replaced and when. This is allowing asset managers to plan maintenance efficiently and avoid unplanned and expensive disruptions. \nIn this webinar\, we outline how machine learning (ML)\, combined with industry expertise\, can estimate the probability of failure for specific failure modes and components. The methodology illustrates a specific failure mode using a large wind farm case study\, where a significant number of component failures occurred within a short space of time. The problem is solved using a two-step solution\, firstly predicting the future probability distribution of a parameter given its current value\, and secondly\, determining the probability of the malfunction given the predicted parameter value. This allows a standardized and more accurate approach for prognosticating malfunctions of technical components\, thus determining their remaining useful life (RUL). \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nPower system reliability\nAsset performance management (APM)\nMachine learning and POF prediction\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Industrial Automation\, Instrumentation and Process Control and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52911WA Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things (IoT) for Engineering (Foundations)\n52886WA Advanced Diploma of Industrial Automation Engineering\n52872WA Advanced Diploma of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Industrial Automation Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Industrial Automation)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Naser Hashemnia\, EIT Lecturer & Principal consultant at HitachiEnergy  \nNaser is a Principal Power Electrical Engineer (PhD) with over 12 years of experience in developing and analyzing the reliability of electrical networks and conducting system studies for various industries.
