Sugeno fuzzy PID tuning,by genetic-neutral for AVR in electrical power generation

We report a novel design method for determining the optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller parameters of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system, using a combined genetic algorithm (GA), radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) and Sugeno fuzzy logic approaches. GA and a RBF-NN with a Sugeno fuzzy logic are proposed to design a PID controller for an AVR system (GNFPID). The problem for obtaining the optimal AVR and PID controller parameters is formulated as an optimization problem and RBF-NN tuned by GA is applied to solve the optimization problem. Whereas, optimal PID gains obtained by the proposed RBF tuning by genetic algorithm for various operating conditions are used to develop the rule base of the Sugeno fuzzy system and design fuzzy PID controller of the AVR system to improve the system's response (∼0.005 s). The proposed approach has superior features, including easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic, good computational efficiency and this algorithm effectively searches for a high-quality solution and improve the transient response of the AVR system (7E−06). Numerical simulation results demonstrate that this is faster and has much less computational cost as compared with the real-code genetic algorithm (RGA) and Sugeno fuzzy logic. The proposed method is indeed more efficient and robust in improving the step response of an AVR system.

Computational intelligence approaches and linear models in case studies of forecasting exchange rates

Artificial neural networks and fuzzy systems, have gradually established themselves as a popular tool in approximating complicated nonlinear systems and time series forecasting. This paper investigates the hypothesis that the nonlinear mathematical models of multilayer perceptron and radial basis function neural networks and the Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system are able to provide a more accurate out-of-sample forecast than the traditional auto regressive moving average (ARMA) and ARMA generalized auto regressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) linear models. Using series of Brazilian exchange rate (R$/US$) returns with 15 min, 60 min and 120 min, daily and weekly basis, the one-step-ahead forecast performance is compared. Results indicate that forecast performance is strongly related to the series’ frequency and the forecasting evaluation shows that nonlinear models perform better than their linear counterparts. In the trade strategy based on forecasts, nonlinear models achieve higher returns when compared to a buy-and-hold strategy and to the linear models.     

Online tuning fuzzy PID controller using robust extended Kalman filter

Fuzzy PID controllers have been developed and applied to many fields for over a period of 30 years. However, there is no systematic method to design membership functions (MFs) for inputs and outputs of a fuzzy system. Then optimizing the MFs is considered as a system identification problem for a nonlinear dynamic system which makes control challenges. This paper presents a novel online method using a robust extended Kalman filter to optimize a Mamdani fuzzy PID controller. The robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) is used to adjust the controller parameters automatically during the operation process of any system applying the controller to minimize the control error. The fuzzy PID controller is tuned about the shape of MFs and rules to adapt with the working conditions and the control performance is improved significantly. The proposed method in this research is verified by its application to the force control problem of an electro-hydraulic actuator. Simulations and experimental results show that proposed method is effective for the online optimization of the fuzzy PID controller.

Design Robust Self-tuning FPIDF Controller for AVR System

This paper presents the fuzzy PID filter (FPIDF) controller for the automatic voltage regulator (AVR). This controller is used to maintain the generating unit output voltage within allowable limit, and improve the weakness of the conventional controller’s fast response under any sudden changes in operating conditions or any disturbance that affect the voltage stability. Firstly, the PID low pass filter (PIDF) controller initial values are calculated by using teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithms. After that, we construct the FPIDF for self-tuning the PIDF parameters in real-time to make the controller fast response. The dynamic performance characteristic of the terminal voltage is investigated and analyzed when the system subjected to the different step change in reference voltage from low to high. The performance of FPIDF is compared with PIDF, fuzzy PID (FPID), and classical PID controller. Also, the FPIDF controller performance is compared with other metaheuristics algorithms based on the controller in the latest literature. Moreover, the strengths, robustness, and effectiveness of the FPIDF controller are checked under uncertainties of AVR parameters. The maximum total deviation of the system performance is calculated in different ranges of the system parameter deviations. The results show a small maximum total deviation percentage when using the proposed controller. Finally, we can observe that the FPIDF controller has better dynamic performance than the other controllers, also has strong robustness and fast real-time response under any sudden changes in system operation.

     

Tuning of a neuro-fuzzy controller by genetic algorithm

Due to their powerful optimization property, genetic algorithms (GAs) are currently being investigated for the development of adaptive or self-tuning fuzzy logic control systems. This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy logic controller (NFLC) where all of its parameters can be tuned simultaneously by GA. The structure of the controller is based on the radial basis function neural network (RBF) with Gaussian membership functions. The NFLC tuned by GA can somewhat eliminate laborious design steps such as manual tuning of the membership functions and selection of the fuzzy rules. The GA implementation incorporates dynamic crossover and mutation probabilistic rates for faster convergence. A flexible position coding strategy of the NFLC parameters is also implemented to obtain near optimal solutions. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with a conventional fuzzy controller and a PID controller tuned by GA. Simulation results show that the proposed controller offers encouraging advantages and has better performance.     

Fuzzy modeling and stable model predictive tracking control of large-scale power plants

This paper develops a stable model predictive tracking controller (SMPTC) for coordinated control of a large-scale power plant. First, a Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is established to approximate the behavior of the boiler–turbine coordinated control system (CCS) using fuzzy clustering and subspace identification (SID). Then, an SMPTC is designed based on the fuzzy model to track the power and pressure set-points while guaranteeing the input-to-state stability and the input constraints of the system. An output-based objective function is adopted for the proposed SMPTC so that the controller could be directly applicable for the data-driven model. Moreover, the effect of modeling mismatches and unknown plant variations has been overcome by the use of a disturbance term and steady-state target calculator (SSTC). Simulation results for a 600 MW power plant show that an off-set free tracking performance can be achieved over a wide range load variation.

Forecasting stock indices using radial basis function neural networks optimized by artificial fish swarm algorithm

Stock index forecasting is a hot issue in the financial arena. As the movements of stock indices are non-linear and subject to many internal and external factors, they pose a great challenge to researchers who try to predict them. In this paper, we select a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to train data and forecast the stock indices of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. We introduce the artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) to optimize RBF. To increase forecasting efficiency, a K-means clustering algorithm is optimized by AFSA in the learning process of RBF. To verify the usefulness of our algorithm, we compared the forecasting results of RBF optimized by AFSA, genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), as well as forecasting results of ARIMA, BP and support vector machine (SVM). Our experiment indicates that RBF optimized by AFSA is an easy-to-use algorithm with considerable accuracy. Of all the combinations we tried in this paper, BIAS6 + MA5 + ASY4 was the optimum group with the least errors.

Wavenet fuzzy PID controller for nonlinear MIMO systems: Experimental validation on a high-end haptic robotic interface

A novel global PID control scheme for nonlinear MIMO systems is proposed and implemented for a robot as study case, this scheme is called AWFPID from its adaptive wavelet fuzzy PID control structure. Basically, it identifies inverse error dynamics using a radial basis neural network with daughter RASP1 wavelets activation function; its output is in cascaded with an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter to prune irrelevant signals and nodes as well as to recover a canonical form. Then, online adaptive fuzzy tuning of a discrete PID regulator is proposed, whose closed-loop guarantees global regulation for nonlinear dynamical plants. The wavelet network includes a fuzzy inference system for online tuning of learning rates. A real-time experimental study on a three degrees of freedom haptic interface, the PHANToM Premium 1.0A, highlights the regulation with smooth control effort without using the mathematical model of the robot.

Multi-class fault diagnosis of induction motor using Hilbert and Wavelet Transform

The information extraction capability of two widely used signal processing tools, Hilbert Transform (HT) and Wavelet Transform (WT), is investigated to develop a multi-class fault diagnosis scheme for induction motor using radial vibration signals. The vibration signals are associated with unique predominant frequency components and instantaneous amplitudes depending on the motor condition. Using good systematic and analytical approach this fault frequencies can be identified. However, some faults either electrical or mechanical in nature are associated with same or similar vibration frequencies leading to erroneous conclusions. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed and used successfully to find the most relevant fault frequencies in radial (vertical) frame vibration signal which can be used to diagnose the induction motor faults very effectively even in the presence of noise. The information obtained by Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) was found to be highly redundant compared to HT and thus by selecting the most relevant features using GA, the fault classification accuracy has considerably improved especially for CWT. Almost similar fault frequencies were found using CWT + GA and HT + GA for radial vibration signal.

Guided local search as a network planning algorithm that incorporates uncertain traffic demands

A search based heuristic for the optimisation of communication networks where traffic forecasts are uncertain and the problem is NP-complete is presented. While algorithms such as genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) are often used for this class of problem, this work applies a combination of newer optimisation techniques specifically: fast local search (FLS) as an improved hill climbing method and guided local search (GLS) to allow escape from local minima. The GLS + FLS combination is compared with an optimised GA and SA approaches. It is found that in terms of implementation, the parameterisation of the GLS + FLS technique is significantly simpler than that for a GA and SA. Also, the self-regularisation feature of the GLS + FLS approach provides a distinctive advantage over the other techniques which require manual parameterisation. To compare numerical performance, the three techniques were tested over a number of network sets varying in size, number of switch circuit demands (network bandwidth demands) and levels of uncertainties on the switch circuit demands. The results show that the GLS + FLS outperforms the GA and SA techniques in terms of both solution quality and optimisation speed but even more importantly GLS + FLS has significantly reduced parameterisation time.     

A combined neural network and genetic algorithm based approach for optimally designed femoral implant having improved primary stability

Excessive implant-bone relative micromotion is detrimental to both primary as well as long-term stability of a hip stem in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). The shape and geometry of the implant are known to influence the resulting post-operative micromotion. Finite element (FE)-based design evaluations are manually intensive and computationally expensive, especially when a large number of designs need to be evaluated for an optimum outcome. This study presents a predictive mathematical model based on back-propagation neural network (BPNN) to relate femoral stem design parameters to the post-operative implant-bone micromotion, with no recourse to tedious nonlinear FE analysis. The characterization of the design parameters were based on our earlier study on shape optimization of femoral implant. The BPNN led to faster prediction of the implant-bone relative micromotion as compared to the FE analysis. Using the BPNN-predicted output as the objective function, a genetic algorithm (GA) based search was performed in order to minimize post-operative micromotion, under simulated physiological loading conditions. The micromotion predicted by the neural network was found to have a significant correlation with FE calculated results (correlation coefficient R² = 0.80 for training; R² = 0.82 for test). The optimal stems, evolved from the GA search of over 12,500 designs, were found to offer improved primary stability, as compared to the initial TriLock (DePuy) design. Our predicted results favour lateral-flared designs having rectangular proximal transverse sections with greater stem-sizes.
