Fuzzy damage-mitigating control of a fossil power plant

Fuzzy wide-range control of fossil power plants for life extension and robust performance

This paper presents a fuzzy-logic-based methodology of life extending control (LEC) for robust wide-range operation of fossil power plants including load-following, scheduled shutdown, and hot startup. The objectives of the LEC are performance enhancement and structural durability of both aging and new fossil power plants. The proposed control system has a two-tier architecture, which explores ...

Predictive Control Based on an Auto-regressive Neuro-fuzzy Model Applied to the Steam Generator Startup Process at a Fossil Power Plant

ارائه یک الگوریتم فازی-ژنتیک برای کاهش توان مصرفی در شبکه های حسگر بی سیم بدنی

WBANs (Wireless Body Area Network) are expected to consume very low electrical power. One of the most important factors of energy consumption in WBAN is the presence of interference between the transmitter and receiver nodes. In this paper, a fuzzy- genetic based power control method is proposed to intelligently align transmission power of sensor nodes within a  WBAN. This technique utilizes th...

Optimal Fuzzy Control System Design for Steam Power Plant: Local Concept Approach

This paper addresses the design of a fuzzy control system with a fuzzy controller and a fuzzy estimator for a fossil fuelled drum boiler-turbine-generator unit on the basis of a dynamic fuzzy model that was developed in our recently published paper. In the design procedure, a dynamics augmentation is introduced and a dynamic fuzzy augmented system is then determined for the nonlinear boiler-tur...

Application of Neuro-fuzzy Identifier in the Predictive Control of a Power Plant

An adaptive predictive control methodology is applied for a fossil fuel boiler control. The control algorithm takes advantage of a neuro-fuzzy identifier system for prediction of the boiler response in a future time window. An optimizer algorithm based on evolutionary programming technique (EP) uses the identifier-predicted outputs and determines input sequence in a time window. The present opt...
