In this paper, we study an approach to design a Fuzzy PI controller in HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) system. In the rectifier of traditional HVDC system, turning on, turning off, triggering and protections of thyristors have lots of problems that can make the dynamic instability and cannot damp the dynamic disturbance efficiently. In order to solve the above problems, we adapt Fuzzy PI controller for the fire angle control of rectifier. The performance of the Fuzzy PI controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure dwells on the use of evolutionary computing(Genetic Algorithms, GAs). Then we can obtain factors of the Fuzzy PI controller by Genetic Algorithms. A comparative study has been performed between Fuzzy PI controller and traditional PI controller, to prove the superiority of the proposed scheme.

This paper describes the application of Genetic Algorithms(GAs) to nonlinear constrained mixed optimization problems. Genetic Algorithms are combinatorial in nature, and therefore are computationally suitable for treating discrete and integer design variables. But, several problems that conventional GAs are ill defined are applicaiton of penalty function that can be adapted to transform a constrained optimization problem into an unconstrained optimization problem into an unconstrained one and premature convergence of solution. Thus, we developed an modified GAs to solve this problems, and two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology developed in this paper.

In this study, a component map generation method using experimental data and the genetic algorithms are newly proposed. In order to generate the performance map for components of this engine, after obtaining engine performance data through many experimental tests, and then the third order equations which have relationships the mass flow function the pressure ratio and the isentropic efficiency as to the engine rotational speed were derived by using the genetic algorithms. A steady-state performance analysis was performed with the generated maps of the compressor by the commercial gas turbine performance analysis program GASTURB. In comparison, it was found that the component maps can be generated from the experimental test data by using the genetic algorithms, and it was confirmed that the analysis results using the generated maps were very similar to those using the scaled maps from the GASTURB.

Genetic Algorithms(GA) which searches optimum solution using natural selection and the law of heredity has been applied to learning algorithms in order to estimate performance deterioration of the aircraft gas turbine engine. The compressor, gas generator turbine and power turbine are considered for engine performance deterioration and estimation for performance deterioration of a single component at design point was conducted. As a result of that, defect diagnostics has been conducted. The input criteria for the genetic algorithm to guarantee the high stability and reliability was discussed as increasing learning data sets. As a result, the accuracy of defect estimation and diagnostics were verified with its RMS error within 3%.

In this paper, an approach to identify fuzzy rules is proposed. The decision of the optimal number of fuzzy rule is made by means of fuzzy c-means clustering. The identification of the parameters of fuzzy implications is carried out by use of genetic algorithms. For the efficinet and fast parameter identification, the reduction thechnique of search areas of genetica algorithms is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated through the identification of the fuzzy model to describe an input-output relation of Gas Furnace. Despite the simplicity of the propsed apprach the accuracy of the identified fuzzy model of gas furnace is superior as compared with that of other fuzzy modles.

With increasing competition, the engineering industry is in need of optimization of designs that would lead to minimum cost or weight. Recent developments in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) makes it possible to model and obtain optimal solutions in structural design that can be put to use in industry. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate typical applications of GAs to practical design of structural systems such as steel trusses, towers, bridges, reinforced concrete frames, bridge decks, shells and layout planning of buildings. Hence, instead of details of GA process, which can be found in the reported literature, attention is focussed on the description of the various applications and the practical aspects that are considered in Genetic Modeling. The paper highlights scope and future directions for wider applications of GA based methodologies for optimal design in practice.

We propose a new category of hybrid multi-layer neural networks with hetero nodes such as Fuzzy Set based Polynomial Neurons (FSPNs) and Polynomial Neurons (PNs). These networks are based on a genetically optimized multi-layer perceptron. We develop a comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of genetic optimization and genetic algorithms, in particular. The augmented genetically optimized HFPNN (namely gHFPNN) results in a structurally optimized structure and comes with a higher level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in the conventional HFPNN. The GA-based design procedure being applied at each layer of HFPNN leads to the selection of preferred nodes (FPNs or PNs) available within the HFPNN. In the sequel, two general optimization mechanisms are explored. First, the structural optimization is realized via GAs whereas the ensuing detailed parametric optimization is carried out in the setting of a standard least square method-based learning. The performance of the gHFPNNs quantified through experimentation where we use a number of modeling benchmarks-synthetic and experimental data already experimented with in fuzzy or neurofuzzy modeling.

The recent improvement in the performance of digital processor, the application of control technology, which used in the HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) system with the digital processors, has increased. Having this research development as the basis, this paper presents an achievement of progression by tuning the parameter of PI controller based on Genetic Algorithms(GAs) and by controlling with PI controller with a developed simulator by applying the Matrix operating function, voltage source switching element, modified nodal analysis which can include transformer and the backward Euler which does not create the problem of numerical oscillation. As a result, I expect this development in the simulator HVDC System to bring more application in the field of control technology research with an expanded practicality.

Recently, machine olfactory systems that have been proposed as an artificial substitute of the human olfactory system are being studied by many researchers because they can scent dangerous gases and identify the type of gases in contamination areas instead of the human. In this paper, we present an effective design method for the gas identification system. The design method adopted the sequential combination between genetic algorithms and TSK fuzzy logic system. First, the proposed method allowed the designed gas identification system effectively performing the pattern analysis because it was able to avoid the curse of dimensionality caused by use of a large number of sensors. Secondly, the method led the gas identification system to good performance because it was able to deal with drift characteristics of the sensor data by using description ability of the fuzzy system for nonlinear data. In simulation, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the designed gas identification system by using the simulation results of five types of gases.
