Absfrad A neural network-based Power System Stabilizer (Neuro-PSS) is designed for a generator connected to a multimachine power system utilizing the nonlinear power flow dynamics. The uses of power flow dynamics provide a PSS for a wide range operation with reduced size neural networks. The Neuro-PSS consists of two neural networks: Neuro-Identifier and Neuro-Controller. The low-frequency osci...

It is known that neuro-fuzzy system is easily stuck in local minimum. To improve these drawbacks, a two-stage algorithm combining the advantages of neuro-fuzzy and genetic algorithms (GA) is integrated in system identification. Genetic algorithms are general purposed optimization algorithms with adaptive reproduction, crossover, and mutation operators that provide a method to search optimal par...

Maintenance plays now a critical role in manufacturing for achieving important cost savings and competitive advantage while preserving product conditions. It suggests moving from conventional maintenance practices to predictive strategy. Indeed the maintenance action has to be done at the right time based on the system performance and component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) assessed by a prognost...

Electrical conductivity is an important indicator for water quality assessment. Since the composition of mineral salts affects the electrical conductivity of groundwater, it is important to understand the relationships between mineral salt composition and electrical conductivity. In this present paper, we develop an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for groundwater electrical ...
