Control systems for variable-speed wind turbines (WTs) are continuously evolving toward innovative and more efficient solutions. Among the various techniques, fuzzy logic is gaining reputation due to its simplicity and effectiveness. In this chapter, after a review of fuzzy logic based control applied to wind energy conversion systems, a sensorless peak power tracking control for maximum wind e...

This paper deals with the development of different control techniques such as Fuzzy, Sliding mode, and Sliding Mode fuzzy controllers for the servo drive system. Servomotors are widely used in industry due to their relatively low cost and high reliability. To get high performances we have to control the input variable in uncertainties and disturbance. Two cases are discussed for each control sc...

A hierarchical fuzzy Bayesian network model for situation assessment is developed in the paper, which includes two layers: the top layer serving as a fusion center, the bottom layer as the continuous data discretization. In this model, Bayesian network (BN) is integrated with the fuzzy theory, which can generalize the continuous variable to fuzzy variable in BN. The fuzzy theory is utilized to ...

There have been many similarity measures introduced into literature. The ones introduced and investigated in this article can be categorized as Minkowsky metric based fuzzy logic measures. We are using normal Łukasiewicz algebra as our fuzzy structure for our classifier. The major advantage of this method is that it provides semantical information about the classification task and it allows par...

We investigate the use of multilattices as the set of truth-values underlying a general fuzzy logic programming framework. On the one hand, some theoretical results about ideals of a multilattice are presented in order to provide an ideal-based semantics; on the other hand, a restricted semantics, in which interpretations assign elements of a multilattice to each propositional symbol, is presen...

In this paper, we consider a nonparametric Shewhart chart for fuzzy data. We utilize the fuzzy data without transforming them into a real-valued scalar (a representative value). Usually fuzzy data (described by fuzzy random variables) do not have a distributional model available, and also the size of the fuzzy sample data is small. Based on the bootstrap methodology, we design a nonparametric S...

The paper aims to expand the concept of linguistic variable. The study analyzes the common conclusion forms in the evaluation project. The evaluation often makes the final conclusion by analyzing the fuzzy number and its membership function. However, the information of modified word or phrase (“largely”, “preliminary” and “unclear”) has got lost in analysis. The research believe these modified ...

coalitional game deals with situations that involve cooperations among players, and there are different solution concepts such as the core,the shapley value and the kernel. in many situations, there is no way to predict the payoff functions except for the expert experiencesand subjective intuitions, which leads to the coalitional game with fuzzy payoffs. within the framework of credibility theo...
