Intelligent energy management has become one of the major research fields in electrical engineering. It constitutes an important tool for efficient planning and operation of power systems and its significance has been intensifying particularly, because of the recent movement towards open energy markets and the need to assure high standards on reliability. Hybrid neuro-fuzzy paradigms have recen...

In this work neural and neuro-fuzzy controllers are developed for the inverters of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) to improve their transient response and adaptability to various loads. Idealized load-currentfeedback controller is built to obtain example patterns for training the networks. Example patterns under various loading conditions are used in the off-line training of the selected n...

This paper proposes a modified particle swarm optimization algorithm (MPSO) to design adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller parameters for controlling the behavior of non-linear dynamical systems. The modification of the proposed algorithm includes adding adaptive weights to the swarm optimization algorithm, which introduces a new update. The proposed MPSO algorithm uses a minimum velocity threshold ...

This paper presents a novel training algorithm for adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems. The algorithm combines the Error Backpropagation (EBP) algorithm with Variable Structure Systems (VSS) approach. Expressing the parameter update rule as a dynamic system in continuous time and applying sliding mode control (SMC) methodology to the dynamic model of the gradient based training procedure res...

Neuro-fuzzy networks have been successfully applied to extract knowledge from data in the form of fuzzy rules. However, one drawback with the neuro-fuzzy approach is that the fuzzy rules induced by the learning process are not necessarily understandable. The lack of readability is essentially due to the high dimensionality of the parameter space that leads to excessive flexibility in the modifi...

We present an application of type-2 neuro-fuzzy modeling to stock price prediction based on a given set of training data. Type-2 fuzzy rules can be generated automatically by a self-constructing clustering method and the obtained type-2 fuzzy rules cab be refined by a hybrid learning algorithm. The given training data set is partitioned into clusters through input-similarity and output-similari...

Introduction: Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome in which seizures have a tendency to recur. Sodium valproate is the most effective drug in the treatment of all types of generalized seizures. Finding the optimal dosage (the lowest effective dose) of sodium valproate is a real challenge to all neurologists. In this study, a new approach based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) was pre...

The investigation of the effects of cracks or similar weaknesses on the load carrying capacity of structural elements such as columns, beams and shells is an important problem in civil, mechanical, earthquake and aerospace engineering. In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural network (ANN)model have been successfully used for the buckling analysis of sl...

In this paper, a TSK-type fuzzy model (TFM) with a hybrid evolutionary learning algorithm (HELA) is proposed. The proposed HELA method combines the compact genetic algorithm (CGA) and the modified variable-length genetic algorithm (MVGA). Both the number of fuzzy rules and the adjustable parameters in the TFM are designed concurrently using the HELA method. In the proposed HELA method, individu...

Structural damage can be identified by processing structural vibration response signals and excitation data, and thus the suitability of signal processing methods is essential to structural damage identification. To explore an intelligent signal processing method for structural damage identification, the paper integrated wavelet real-time filtering algorithm, Adaptive Neruo-Fuzzy Inference Syst...
