Abstract In a conventional rule based fuzzy control system, the rules are of following form: if (condition) then (action), and all essentially in random order. The number increases exponentially as system variables, on which based, is increased. this paper, structured hierarchical way so that total will be linear function variables. algorithm developed paper applied to feedwater flow steam generator power plant. simulation results show controller yields superior performance over PID controller.
An automatic control system for large-scale systems that integrates methods in artificial intelligence, signal processing, and nonlinear to provide fast efficient diagnostics reliable is presented. The integrated reduces the procedural load facilitates operator tasks by creating a condensed representation of plant status. Operator are emulated building computer-based algorithms which validate sensor signals, strategies, commands, performance tracking generate decisions actions. advanced...
Abstract Fabric drying is an energy-intensive process, which generally involves blowing hot dry air across tumbling wet fabric to facilitate evaporation and moisture removal. Most of the energy supplied used overcome enthalpy vaporization for water. Although this process tends be inefficient, it fairly simple forms basis majority existing clothes dryer technology today. To address relatively low efficiency, a new method called “direct contact ultrasonic drying” proposed. The using...
The increasingly recognized vulnerability of industrial control systems to cyber-attacks has inspired a considerable amount research into techniques for cyber-resilient systems. majority this effort involves the application well known information security protect system networks. These are primarily concerned with prevention unauthorized access and protection data integrity. While these efforts important that operate critical infrastructure, they never perfectly effective thus motivating...
Since the pioneering works of Zadeh and Mamdani Assilian conventional fuzzy logic controller has been successfully implemented in many industrial applications As number system variables increase, rules a complete rule set increases exponentially The concept hierarchical is proposed here such that constituting will increase linearly (not exponentially) with purpose this paper two fold: (1) to summarize some recent relevant results (2) describe application structure for design steam generator...
State awareness for a control system is the accurate knowledge of internal states realization. By definition, cyber-attacker decreases state by modifying or removing information available to operator and system. decreasing awareness, attacker can directly cause damage physical through system, indirectly causing react in damaging manner false information. One central problems resilient developing methods retain minimal necessary continue stable operation during cyber-attack. The...
Laser-based ultrasonic (LBU) measurement shows great promise for on-line monitoring of weld quality in tailor-welded blanks. Tailor-welded blanks are steel made from plates differing thicknesses and/or properties butt- welded together, they used automobile manufacturing to produce body, frame, and closure panels. LBU uses a pulsed laser generate the ultrasound continuous wave interferometer detect at point interrogation perform inspection. enables in-process measurements since there is no...
The technology of temperature measurement appears to some be a mature field. However, many, requirements for improved performance and reliability are driver continual scientific advancement. Although Johnson noise has been proposed as thermometry method several decades, it is only recently that digital analog electronics have made possible economically fabricate systems based on noise. noise, which result fundamental physics, caused by the random thermal motions electrons in all conductors....
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is investigating embedded instrumentation and controls (I&C) technology for next generation nuclear power applications. Embedded systems encompass a wide range of configurations technologies; we define embedding in this instance as the integration sensors control system design into component using engineering process. I&C are often an essential part developing new capabilities, improving reliability, enhancing performance, reducing operational costs. The...
