NTL-Unet: A Satellite-Based Approach for Non-Technical Loss Detection in Electricity Distribution Using Sentinel-2 Imagery and Machine Learning
This study introduces an orbital monitoring system designed to quantify non-technical losses (NTLs) within electricity distribution networks. Leveraging Sentinel-2 satellite imagery alongside advanced techniques in computer vision and machine learning, this system focuses on accurately segmenting urban areas, facilitating the removal of clouds, and utilizing OpenStreetMap masks for pre-annotation. Through testing on two datasets, the method attained a Jaccard index (IoU) of 0.9210 on the training set, derived from the region of France, and 0.88 on the test set, obtained from the region of Brazil, underscoring its efficacy and resilience. The precise segmentation of urban zones enables the identification of areas beyond the electric distribution company’s coverage, thereby highlighting potential irregularities with heightened reliability. This approach holds promise for mitigating NTL, particularly through its ability to pinpoint potential irregular areas.

Photoactivity of nanostructured porous Nb2O5: Effect of Pt, Ta, Cu, and Ti impregnation
In the present work, we report the obtaining of nanostructured porous Nb2O5 by anodizing process, with Pt, Ta, Cu, or Ti impregnation, and by magnetron sputtering process. The techniques of scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to evaluate the morphology, and the composition and crystalline structure of nanoporous Nb2O5. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by electrochemical photocurrent tests under UV light illumination. Nanostructured porous Nb2O5 with Pt, Ta, Cu, and Ti impregnation presented bandgap reduction and 10 times higher photocurrent density in the presence of UV light when compared to the not impregnated nanoporous Nb2O5.

DESEMPEÑO FOTOELETROQUÍMICO DE NANOESTRUTURAS DE NIOBIO OBTENIDAS POR ANODIZACIÓN: EFECTO DE LA CONCENTRACIÓN DE GLICEROL / DESEMPENHO FOTOELETROQUÍMICO DAS NANOESTRUTURAS DE NIÓBIO OBTIDAS POR ANODIZAÇÃO: EFEITO DA CONCENTRAÇÃO DE GLICEROL
Se han realizado muchos estudios sobre el comportamiento de nanotubos de dióxido de titanio (TiO 2 ) para aplicaciones fotocatalíticas. Sin embargo, se han reportado pocos estudios involucrando metales como niobio (Nb). Los óxidos de niobio presentan propiedades catalíticas muy similares a las del TiO 2 , con la ventaja de que Brasil concentra el 96% de las reservas mundiales de Nb. Procesos que utilizan técnicas electroquímicas como anodización han sido empleados para la obtención de sólidos nanoporosos en metales. En este estudio, las muestras de metales de niobio fueron anodizadas a 90V durante 90 minutos. El electrolito utilizado en la anodización fue una mezcla de glicerol, NH 4 F y agua. Las muestras anodizadas fueron tratadas térmicamente a 450°C en atmósfera de N2 por 60 minutos. La caracterización estructural fue realizada por difracción de rayos-X y microscopía electrónica de barrido. El desempeño fotoelectroquímico fue evaluado mediante ensayos de fotocorriente en solución de KOH 0,1 M con diferentes concentraciones de glicerol: 0,1 M y 0,2 M. Se constató la presencia de nanotubos de óxido de Nb luego de la anodización, lo que puede haber contribuido a mejorar el desempeño fotoelectroquímico de los sistemas evaluados. La adición de glicerol a la solución de KOH 0,1 M contribuye al aumento del desempeño fotoelectroquímico.
