This article presents the design, simulation and real-time implementation of a constrained non-linear model predictive controller for a coupled tank system. A novel wavelet-based function neural network model and a genetic algorithm online non-linear real-time optimisation approach were used in the non-linear model predictive controller strategy. A coupled tank system, which resembles operation...

In general, wavelet neural networks have a problem on the curse of dimensionality, i.e. the number of hidden units to be required are exponentially rose with increasing an input dimension. To solve the above problem, a wavelet neural network incorporating a local linear model has already been proposed. On their network design, however, the number of hidden units is empirically determined and fi...

Accurate groundwater level modeling and forecasting contribute to civil projects, land use, citys planning and water resources management. Combined Wavelet-Artificial Neural Network (WANN) model has been widely used in recent years to forecast hydrological and hydrogeological phenomena. This study investigates the sensitivity of the pre-processing to the wavelet type and decomposition level in ...

Work had always been under process to design efficient algorithms for image compression based on various conventional and soft computing methodologies. This paper aims at exploring the application of multi layered perceptron (MLP) feed forward neural networks (FFNN), wavelet transforms and their combination architectures for image compression. Initially two neural network architectures for imag...

In this paper, model reference neural network structure is used as a controller for vibration suppression of the Euler–Bernoulli beam under the excitation of moving mass travelling along a vibrating path. The non-dimensional equation of motion the beam acted upon by a moving mass is achieved.  A Dirac-delta function is used to describe the position of the moving mass along the beam and its iner...

abstract: In the present work, determining the optimal strategy(profit based) of multi virtual power plants (VPPs) as well as the objective of maximizing profit through the multi-level control of VPPs are discussed by the micro-grid utilization center including virtual power plants. VPPs include renewable resources such as wind farms, photovoltaic, and conventional resources such as fuel cell, ...
