In this paper we propose a neural network approach for the identification and control of a benchmark flexible structure: a thin simply-supported plate with bonded piezoelectric film actuators and sensors. A specific linear differential inclusion is developed for a class of multilayer feedforward networks. With this technique, it is shown that the plant model identified by the neural network can be represented as a linear time-invariant system so that traditional or advanced linear control theory can be directly applied to design the stabilizing flexible structure controller.

Abstract: An islanding detection and based control strategy is created in this exploration to accomplish the steady and independent activity of microgrids using the neural network based Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) idea during unplanned grid reconfigurations . Maybe of utilizing a design-orientedmethodology, this paper gives a rigorous and extensive hypothetical investigation and reaches a concise conclusion that is easy to execute and successful even in complex situations. Based on the results of the mutation sequence and voltage wavering, a neural network based islanding identification calculation is proposed, which requires less constraint strategy. The proposed neural network approach outperforms the thefrequency measured passive detection method in terms of detection speed and reliability. Broad recreations affirm the reasonableness of the proposed islanding location and control methodology. Additionally, think about the results of the reproductions for the PI regulator, fluffy organizations, and neural organizations. Keywords: Virtual Synchronous Generator, Islanding detection, Islanding operation, Droop control, Stability, Microgrids.

Abstract This study is motivated from the investigation of vehicle suspension system with changeable damping and variant stiffness parameters. Such suspension system can be modeled as a dynamic polytope based on the mapping of affinely changed parameters. According to the polytopic dynamics decomposition, knowledge of linear time invariant system can be applied to each polytope vertex and the time variant system is solved by the polytope convex synthesis method. For time variant vehicle suspension system, the different model structures for control purposes are formulated. A quarter-car is taken as the example for demonstration in observer design and nonlinear control design.

AbstractThis paper proposes and evaluates a neural network-based method for simulating manufacturing processes that exhibit both noncontinuous and stochastic behavior processes more conventionally modeled, using discrete-event simulation algorithms. The incentive for developing the technique is its potential for rapid execution of a simulation through parallel processing, and facilitation of the development and improvement of models particularly where there is limited theory describing the dependence between component processes. A brief introduction is provided to a radial-Gaussian neural network architecture and training process, the system adopted for the work presented in this paper. A description of the basic approach proposed for applying this technology to simulation is then described. This involves the use of a modularized neural network approach to model construction and the prediction of the occurrence of events using information retained from several previous states of the simulation. A class of earth-moving systems, comprising a push-dozer and a fleet of scrapers, is used as the basis for assessing the viability and performance of the proposed approach. A series of experiments show the neural network to be capable of both capturing the characteristic behavior and making an accurate prediction of production rates of scraper-based earth-moving systems. The paper concludes with an indication of some areas for further development and evaluation of the technique.

Estimation of the annual average daily traffic (AADT) for low-volume roads is investigated. Artificial neural networks are compared with the traditional factor approach for estimating AADT from short-period traffic counts. Fifty-five automatic traffic recorder (ATR) sites located on low-volume rural roads in Alberta, Canada, are used as study samples. The results of this study indicate that, when a single 48-h count is used for AADT estimation, the factor approach can yield better results than the neural networks if the ATR sites are grouped appropriately and the sample sites are correctly assigned to various ATR groups. Unfortunately, the current recommended practice offers little guidance on how to achieve the assignment accuracy that may be necessary to obtain reliable AADT estimates from a single 48-h count. The neural network approach can be particularly suitable for estimating AADT from two 48-h counts taken at different times during the counting season. In fact, the 95th percentile error values of about 25 percent as obtained in this study for the neural network models compare favorably with the values reported in the literature for low-volume roads using the traditional factor approach. The advantage of the neural network approach is that classification of ATR sites and sample site assignments to ATR groups are not required. The analysis of various groups of low-volume roads presented also leads to a conclusion that, when defining low-volume roads from a traffic monitoring point of view, it is not likely to matter much whether the AADT on the facility is less than 500 vehicles, less than 750 vehicles, or less than 1,000 vehicles.
