Accurate solar cell modeling is essential for reliable performance evaluation and prediction, real-time control, and maximum power harvest of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nevertheless, such a model cannot always achieve satisfactory performance based on conventional optimization strategies caused by its high-nonlinear characteristics. Moreover, inadequate measured output current-voltage (I-V) data make it difficult for conventional meta-heuristic algorithms to obtain a high-quality optimum for solar cell modeling without a reliable fitness function. To address these problems, a novel genetic neural network (GNN)-based parameter estimation strategy for solar cells is proposed. Based on measured I-V data, the GNN firstly accomplishes the training of the neural network via a genetic algorithm. Then it can predict more virtual I-V data, thus a reliable fitness function can be constructed using extended I-V data. Therefore, meta-heuristic algorithms can implement an efficient search based on the reliable fitness function. Finally, two different cell models, e.g., a single diode model (SDM) and double diode model (DDM) are employed to validate the feasibility of the GNN. Case studies verify that GNN-based meta-heuristic algorithms can efficiently improve modeling reliability and convergence rate compared against meta-heuristic algorithms using only original measured I-V data.

According to the characteristics of grinding process and accuracy requirements of technical indicators, a hybrid multiple soft-sensor modeling method of grinding granularity is proposed based on cuckoo searching (CS) algorithm and hysteresis switching (HS) strategy. Firstly, a mechanism soft-sensor model of grinding granularity is deduced based on the technique characteristics and a lot of experimental data of grinding process. Meanwhile, the BP neural network soft-sensor model and wavelet neural network (WNN) soft-sensor model are set up. Then, the hybrid multiple soft-sensor model based on the hysteresis switching strategy is realized. That is to say, the optimum model is selected as the current predictive model according to the switching performance index at each sampling instant. Finally the cuckoo searching algorithm is adopted to optimize the performance parameters of hysteresis switching strategy. Simulation results show that the proposed model has better generalization results and prediction precision, which can satisfy the real-time control requirements of grinding classification process.

Abstract In this paper, a multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) output feedback tracking control of nonlinear single-input single-output (SISO) systems in discrete-time form is studied. To date, neural networks are generally used to identify unknown nonlinear systems. However, the neuron of neural networks includes the exponential function, which contributes to the complexity of calculation, making the neural network control unable to meet the real-time requirements. In order to identify the controlled object whose model is unknown, the MTN, which requires only addition and multiplication, is utilized for successful real-time control of the SISO nonlinear system based on only its output feedback. Lyapunov analysis proves that output signals in the closed-loop system remain bounded and the tracking error converges to an arbitrarily small neighbourhood around the origin. In contrast to the back propagation (BP) neural network self-adaption reconstitution controller, the edge of the scheme is that the MTN optimal controller promises desirable response speed, robustness and real-time control.

Image segmentation is the basis of image analysis and understanding, and has an unshakable position in the field of computer vision. In order to improve the accuracy of nuclear magnetic image segmentation of rectal cancer, this paper proposes an improved genetic neural network algorithm for the problems of traditional BP neural network algorithm. In order to enhance the network performance, this paper improves the genetic neural network from the two aspects of fitness function and genetic operator, which makes the training speed and convergence precision greatly improved. Target samples were analyzed by image histogram analysis, and the improved genetic neural network was used to learn the samples to obtain the training network. Taking the pixel matrix of the image as the input vector, it is put into the trained network for classification, and finally the segmentation is realized. The simulation experiment proves that compared with the classical image segmentation method, the improved genetic neural network image segmentation method has a good segmentation effect and is a feasible image segmentation method.
