Evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. Although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. This paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

Motor fault detection and diagnosis involves processing a large amount of information of the motor system. With the combined synergy of fuzzy logic and neural networks, a better understanding of the heuristics underlying the motor fault detection/diagnosis process and successful fault detection/diagnosis schemes can be achieved. This paper presents two neural fuzzy (NN/FZ) inference systems, na...

This paper proposes two different approaches for the prediction of type2 diabetes. Many different techniques have been used for the prediction of chronic diseases by different researchers. Among them Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) is very popular and already used for the prediction of type 2 diabetes. In this paper, the proposed system is optimization of ANFIS using Genetic Algor...

Many controllers have applied the Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) concept for optimizing the controller performance. However, there are less traffic signal controllers developed using the ANFIS concept. ANFIS traffic signal controller with its fuzzy rule base and its ability to learn from a set of sample data could improve the performance of Existing traffic signal controlling sy...

This paper presents an investigation into the comparative performance of intelligent system identification and control algorithms within the framework of an active vibration control (AVC) system. Evolutionary Genetic algorithms (GAs) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) algorithms are used to develop mechanisms of an AVC system, where the controller is designed on the basis of opti...

In this paper performance of Puma 560 manipulator is being compared for hybrid gradient descent and least square method learning based ANFIS controller with hybrid Genetic Algorithm and Generalized Pattern Search tuned radial basis function based Neuro-Fuzzy controller. ANFIS which is based on Takagi Sugeno type Fuzzy controller needs prior knowledge of rule base while in radial basis function ...

Forecasting reservoir inflow is important to hydropower reservoir management and scheduling. An Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is successfully developed to forecast the long-term discharges in Manwan Hydropower. Using the long-term observations of discharges of monthly river flow discharges during 1953-2003, different types of membership functions and antecedent input flo...

This article proposes a method for identifying potential self-adequate sub-networks in the existing power distribution grid. These can be equipped with control and protection schemes to form microgrids capable of sustaining local loads during systems contingencies, thereby mitigating disasters. Towards best microgrid candidates, this work formulates chance-constrained optimal network partitioni...

Numerous applications in science and engineering have a problem space that can be represented as a 2-dimensional grid. While some of these problems exhibit uniform computational requirements over all regions of the grid, others are non-uniform: that is, some regions of the grid have more data points than others. We introduce a new block decomposition method, Fair Binary Recursive Decomposition ...
