This paper proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECS). It aims at extracting maximum power from the wind by tracking the maximum power peak regardless of wind speed. The proposed MPPT controller implements an ANFIS approach with a backpropagation algorithm. The rotor speed acts as an input to the controller and torque reference as the controller’s output, which further inputs the rotor side converter’s speed control loop to control the rotor’s actual speed by adjusting the duty ratio for the rotor side converter. The grid partition method generates input membership functions by uniformly partitioning the input variable ranges and creating a single-output Sugeno fuzzy system. The neural network trained the fuzzy input membership according to the inputs and alter the initial membership functions. The simulation results have been validated on a 2 MW wind turbine using the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The controller’s performance is tested under various wind speed circumstances and compared with the performance of a conventional proportional–integral MPPT controller. The simulation study shows that WECS can operate at its optimum power for the proposed controller’s wide range of input wind speed.

In opportunistic networks, the requirement of QoS (quality of service) poses several major challenges to wireless mobile devices with limited cache and energy. This implies that energy and cache space are two significant cornerstones for the structure of a routing algorithm. However, most routing algorithms tackle the issue of limited network resources from the perspective of a deterministic approach, which lacks an adaptive data transmission mechanism. Meanwhile, these methods show a relatively low scalability because they are probably built up based on some special scenarios rather than general ones. To alleviate the problems, this paper proposes an adaptive delay-tolerant routing algorithm (DTCM) utilizing curve-trapezoid Mamdani fuzzy inference system (CMFI) for opportunistic social networks. DTCM evaluates both the remaining energy level and the remaining cache level of relay nodes (two-factor) in opportunistic networks and makes reasonable decisions on data transmission through CMFI. Different from the traditional fuzzy inference system, CMFI determines three levels of membership functions through the trichotomy law and evaluates the fuzzy mapping from two-factor fuzzy input to data transmission by curve-trapezoid membership functions. Our experimental results show that within the error interval of 0.05~0.1, DTCM improves delivery ratio by about 20% and decreases end-to-end delay by approximate 25% as compared with Epidemic, and the network overhead from DTCM is in the middle horizon.

The maximum output power of a photovoltaic (PV) system with a DC-DC converter depends mainly on the solar irradiance (G) and the temperature (T). Therefore, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mechanism is required to improve the overall system. The conventional MPPT approaches such as the perturbation and observation (P&O) technique have difficulty in finding true maximum power point. Thus various intelligent MPPT systems such as fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are recently introduced. In FLC based MPPT, selecting the type of the membership function (MF) and the number of the fuzzy sets (FS) is critical for better performance. Thus, in this paper various adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is utilized to automatically tune the FLC membership functions instead of adopting the trial and error method. To find suitable MF for FLC, ANFIS is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and the effect of different types MF investigated. Simulation result shows that the FLC with triangular MF and seven FS give the best result. The evaluation indices used in this study includes the maximum extracted energy, minimum standard deviation of the error, and minimum mean square error.

The detection of waterborne bacteria is crucial to prevent health risks. Current research uses soft computing techniques based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the detection of bacterial pollution in water. The limitation of only relying on sensor-based water quality analysis for detection can be prone to human errors. Hence, there is a need to automate the process of real-time bacterial monitoring for minimizing the error, as mentioned above. To address this issue, we implement an automated process of water-borne bacterial detection using a hybrid technique called Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), that integrates the advantage of learning in an ANN and a set of fuzzy if-then rules with appropriate membership functions. The experimental data as the input to the ANFIS model is obtained from the open-sourced dataset of government of India data platform, having 1992 experimental laboratory results from the years 2003-2014. We have included the following water quality parameters: Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), pH, Electrical conductivity, Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) as the significant factors in the detection and existence of bacteria. The membership function changes automatically with every iteration during training of the system. The goal of the study is to compare the results obtained from the three membership functions of ANFIS- Triangle, Trapezoidal, and Bell-shaped with 35 = 243 fuzzy set rules. The results show that ANFIS with generalized bell-shaped membership function is best with its average error 0.00619 at epoch 100.

This article presents a multiple adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based control scheme for operation of the wind energy conversion system above the rated wind speed. By controlling the pitch angle and generator torque concurrently, the generator power and speed fluctuation can be reduced and also turbine blade stress can be minimized. The proposed neuro-fuzzy-based adaptive controller is composed of both the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy inference system and neural network. First, a step change in wind speed and then a simulated wind speed are considered in the proposed adaptive control design. A MATLAB/Simulink model of the wind turbine system is prepared, and simulations are carried out by applying the proportional integral, fuzzy-proportional integral and the proposed adaptive controller. From the obtained results, the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controller approach is confirmed.

This approach is carry out for developing the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for controlling the forthcoming Intelligent Universal Transformer (IUT) in regard of voltages and current control in both input and output stages which is optimized by particle swarm optimization. Current or voltages errors and their time derivative have been considered as the inputs of Nero Fuzzy controller for elaborating the firing angles of converters in IUT basic construction. ANFIS constructed from a fuzzy inference system (FIS) in which the membership function parameters are tuned according to the back propagation algorithm or in conjunction to the least squares method. A neural network maps inputs through input membership functions and associated parameters, and output membership functions and associated parameters to outputs which interprets the input-output map. The associated parameters of membership functions change through the learning algorithm by a gradient vector modeling the input output data in case of given parameters. Optimization method will be investigated to adjust the parameters according to error reduction computed by sum of the squared variation from actual outputs to the desired ones.
