Abstract: Technical solutions are described for forecasting leaks in a pipeline network. An example method includes identifying a subsystem in the pipeline network that includes a first station. The method also includes accessing historical temporal sensor measurements of the stations. The method also includes generating a prediction model for the first station that predicts a pressure measurement at the first station based on the historical temporal sensor measurements at each station in the subsystem. The method also includes predicting a series of pressure measurements at the first station based on the historical temporal sensor measurements. The method also includes determining a series of deviations between the series of pressure measurements and historical pressure measurements of the first station and identifying a threshold value from the series of deviations, where a pressure measurement at the first station above or below the threshold value is indicative of a leak in the subsystem.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of forecasting power generation. The method includes analyzing, using a processor, a set of historical weather data. A set of historical power generation data is analyzed using the processor.

The processor then receives a weather forecast for a future time period. The processor determines which cluster of the set of cluster contains weather data that is most similar to the weather forecast. The processor then uses the historical power generation data of the cluster to forecast power generation for the future time period.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for controlling object placement in object storage. A placement component of a storage application receives a request to store a first object in an object store having multiple nodes. The object store determines a placement of the first object to one of the nodes based on an object namespace including a numerical namespace and a lexicographical namespace. Each node is assigned a corresponding subspace of the object namespace for storing objects. The first object includes a numerical namespace value and a lexicographical namespace value. A second object (a replica of the first object) is generated. The first object is stored to a first node based on the lexicographical namespace value. The second object is stored to a second node based on the numerical namespace value.
