In this paper, we psropose the feedback linearization technique for a nonlinear system using genetic algorithms (GAs) and fuzzy logic system. The proposed control scheme approximates the nonlinear term of a nonlinear system using the fuzzy logic system and computes the control input for cancelling the nonlinear term. Then in the fuzzy logic system, the number and shape of membership function of the premise aprt will be tuned to minimize the control error boundary using GAs. And the parameters of the consequence of fuzzy rule will be tuned by the adaptive laws based on lyapunov stability theory in order to guarantee the closed loop stability of control system. The evolution of fuzzy logic system is processed during the on-line adaptive control. The effectiveness of proposed method will be demonstrated by computer simulation of simple nonlinear sytem.

The design of a measurement system to perform Harmonic State Estimation (HSE) is a very complex problem. In particular, the number of harmonic instruments available is always limited. Therefore, a systematic procedure is needed to design the optimal placement of measurement points. This paper presents a new HSE algorithm which is based on an optimal placement of measurement points using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). This HSE has been applied to the Simulation Test Power System for the validation of the new HSE algorithm. The study results have indicated an economical and effective method for optimal placement of measurement points using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in the Harmonic State Estimation (HSE).

Prediction of corporate failure using past financial data is well-documented topic. Early studies of bankruptcy prediction used statistical techniques such as multiple discriminant analysis, logit and probit. Recently, however, numerous studies have demonstrated that artificial intelligence such as neural networks (NNs) can be an alternative methodology for classification problems to which traditional statistical methods have long been applied. Although numerous theoretical and experimental studies reported the usefulness or neural networks in classification studies, there exists a major drawback in building and using the model. That is, the user can not readily comprehend the final rules that the neural network models acquire. We propose a genetic algorithms (GAs) approach in this study and illustrate how GAs can be applied to corporate failure prediction modeling. An advantage of GAs approach offers is that it is capable of extracting rules that are easy to understand for users like expert systems. The preliminary results show that rule extraction approach using GAs for bankruptcy prediction modeling is promising.

The purpose of this study is to analyze both the design and off design performance simulation of the PW206C turbo shaft engine used in the development of the smart UAV (Unmanned Ariel Vehicle) by KARI(Korean Aerospace Research Institute). Its mainly aims to investigate performance behavior at the un-installed and installed conditions. The ways employed to be able to analyze the performance extensively were mainly carried out by comparison of performance simulation results from both the commercial program 'GASTURB 9' using compressor maps generated by Genetic algorithms (GAs) or Scaling Method, and the engine manufacturer's program 'EEPP'. Off-design performance analysis was performed through matching of both mass flow and work between engine components. The set of performance simulations of the developed analytical models was performed by a commercial program package (GASTURB 9) that provides great flexibility in the choice of independent variables of the overall system. The results from the simulations are used to compare turbo shaft engine (PW206C) performance data obtained by the EEPP. At un-installed condition, it was found that the results with the compressor map generated by GAs were relatively agreed well than those with the compressor map generated by the Scaling Method. The performance calculation results using the compressor map generated by GAs were compared at un-installed condition and installed conditions with ECS-off and ECS-Max in variation of altitude, gas generator speed and flight speed.

In case of the optimization problems that have many design variables, the conventional genetic algorithms(GA) fall into a trap of local minima with high probability. This problem is called the premature convergence problem. To overcome it, the parallel genetic algorithms which adopt the migration mechanism have been suggested. But it is hard to determine the several parameters such as the migration size and the migration interval for the parallel GAs. Therefore, we propose a new method to determine the migration interval automatically in this paper. To verify its validity, it is applied to some traditional mathematical optimization problems and is compared with the conventional parallel GA. It is also applied to the optimal design of the brushless DC motor for an electric wheel chair which is a real world problem and has five design variables.

In this study, the genetic algorithm has been used for the real-time defect diagnosis on the operation of the aircraft gas-turbine engine. The component elements of the gas-turbine engine for consideriation of the performance deterioration is consist of the compressor, the gas generation turbine and the power turbine, repectively. Compared to the on-design point on the sea-level condition, the learning data has been increased 200 times in case of the off-design conditions for the altitude, the flight mach number and the fuel consumption. Therefore, enormous learning time has been required for the satisfied convergence. The optimum division has been proposed to decrease learning time as well as to obtain high accuracy. As results, the RMS errors of the defect diagnosis using the genetic algorithm have been estimated under 5 %.

In this paper, we propose an optimized fuzzy controller based on Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Genetic Algorithms (HFCGA) for rotary inverted pendulum system. We adopt fuzzy controller to control the rotary inverted pendulum and the fuzzy rules of the fuzzy controller are designed based on the design methodology of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller. Simple Genetic Algorithms (SGAs) is well known as optimization algorithms supporting search of a global character. There is a long list of successful usages of GAs reported in different application domains. It should be stressed, however, that GAs could still get trapped in a sub-optimal regions of the search space due to premature convergence. Accordingly the parallel genetic algorithm was developed to eliminate an effect of premature convergence. In particular, as one of diverse types of the PGA, HFCGA has emerged as an effective optimization mechanism for dealing with very large search space. We use HFCGA to optimize the parameter of the fuzzy controller. A comparative analysis between the simulation and the practical experiment demonstrates that the proposed HFCGA based fuzzy controller leads to superb performance in comparison with the conventional LQR controller as well as SGAs based fuzzy controller.

The PID controllers have been widely accepted in many industrial systems due to their robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions and their functional simplicity To implement a PID controller, its three parameters must be determined for the given plant. Conventional tuning methods are mainly based on experience and experiment and are lack of systematic procedure Recently. to overcome drawbacks of conventional tuning methods, genetic algorithms have been used, In this paper a real-coded genetic algorithm is employed to search for the optimal parameters of the PID controller for speed control of marine gas turbine engines. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
