FUZZY APPROACH OF MODELING A HYDRAULIC TURBINE EFFICIENCY

Towards an Improved Model for Predicting Hydraulic Turbine Efficiency

Field performance testing of hydraulic turbines is undertaken to define the head-power-discharge relationship, which identify the turbine’s peak operating point. This relationship is essential for the efficient operation of a hydraulic turbine. Unfortunately, in some cases it is not feasible to field test turbines due to time, budgetary, or other constraints. Gordon (2001) proposed a method of ...

Fuzzy Efficiency Measures in DEA: A New Approach based on Fuzzy DEA Approach with Double Frontiers

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. In the conventional DEA, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. But the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. Thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...

A new T-S fuzzy-modeling approach to identify a boiler-turbine system

In order to build accurate model for complicated nonlinear system in engineering, like boiler–turbine system, a novel fuzzy-modeling approach is proposed, which is based on a new fuzzy c-regression model (NFCRM) clustering algorithm and is able to determine the right number of rules automatically. In this method, NFCRM is applied to build the fuzzy structure and then identify the premise parame...
