The main aim of this article is to analyse and control a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) under normal and perturbation loading using a Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) through an ambient computing environment. The main characteristics of ambient computing is invisible, embedded, easy to use, and adaptive to name a few. The current article proposes the employment of FLC and to control the operation of CCGT considering the system inputs uncertainty. The target of the FLC is to maintain the system speed, exhaust temperature, and airflow within the desired interval. ANFIS helps to get the optimal control parameter and construct the proper rule base with an appropriate membership function with reasonable accuracy. The simulation results demonstrate the ANFIS controller's superior performance over FLC as well as the traditional controller for normal operating conditions and load perturbation.

Oscillation Damping

This paper proposes the design of auxiliary-coordinated controller for static VAR compensator (SVC) and thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) devices by adaptive fuzzy optimized technique for oscillation damping in multimachine power systems. The performance of the coordinated control of SVC and TCSC devices based on feedforward adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (F-ANFIS) is compared with that of the adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) structure based on recurrent adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (R-ANFIS) network architecture. The objective of the coordinated controller design is to tune the parameters of SVC and TCSC fuzzy lead lag compensator simultaneously to minimize the deviation of rotor angle and rotor speed of the generators. The performance of the system is enhanced by optimally tuning the membership functions of fuzzy lead lag controller parameter of the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) by R-ANFIS controller. The training data for F-ANFIS and R-ANFIS are generated by conventional linear control technique under various operating conditions. The offline trained controller tunes the parameter of lead lag controller in online. The oscillation damping ability of the system is analyzed for three-machine test system by calculating the standard deviation and cost function. The superior performance of R-ANFIS controller is compared with various particle swarm optimization-based feedforward ANFIS controllers available in literature.

In the paper, neuro-fuzzy systems (NFSs) for gas turbine diagnostics are studied and developed. The same procedure used previously for the setup of neural network (NN) models (Bettocchi, R., Pinelli, M., Spina, P. R., and Venturini, M., 2007, ASME J. Eng. Gas Turbines Power, 129(3), pp. 711–719) was used. In particular, the same database of patterns was used for both training and testing the NFSs. This database was obtained by running a cycle program, calibrated on a 255MW single-shaft gas turbine working in the ENEL combined cycle power plant of La Spezia (Italy). The database contains the variations of the Health Indices (which are the characteristic parameters that are indices of gas turbine health state, such as efficiencies and characteristic flow passage areas of compressor and turbine) and the corresponding variations of the measured quantities with respect to the values in new and clean conditions. The analyses carried out are aimed at the selection of the most appropriate NFS structure for gas turbine diagnostics, in terms of computational time of the NFS training phase, accuracy, and robustness towards measurement uncertainty during simulations. In particular, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) architectures were considered and tested, and their performance was compared to that obtainable by using the NN models. An analysis was also performed in order to identify the most significant ANFIS inputs. The results obtained show that ANFISs are robust with respect to measurement uncertainty, and, in all the cases analyzed, the performance (in terms of accuracy during simulations and time spent for the training phase) proved to be better than that obtainable by multi-input/multioutput (MIMO) and multi-input/single-output (MISO) neural networks trained and tested on the same data.

It is a well known fact that the weakest link in a cyber secure system is the people who configure, manage or use it. Security breaches are persistently being attributed to human error. Social engineered based attacks are becoming more sophisticated to such an extent where they are becoming increasingly more difficult to detect. Companies implement strong security policies as well as provide specific training for employees to minimise phishing attacks, however these practices rely on the individual adhering to them. This paper explores fuzzy logic and in particular a Mamdani type fuzzy inference system to determine an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks. To negate and identify the susceptibility levels of employees to social engineering attacks a Fuzzy Inference System FIS was created through the use of fuzzy logic. The utilisation of fuzzy logic is a novel way in determining susceptibility due to its ability to resemble human reasoning in order to solve complex inputs, or its Interpretability and simplicity to be able to compute with words. This proposed fuzzy inference system is based on a number of criteria which focuses on attributes relating to the individual employee as well as a companies practices and procedures and through this an extensive rule base was designed. The proposed scoring mechanism is a first attempt towards a holistic solution. To accurately predict an employees susceptibility to phishing attacks will in any future system require a more robust and relatable set of human characteristics in relation to the employee and the employer.

Performance Deterioration

Performance deterioration in gas turbine engines (GTEs) depends on various factors in the ambient and the operating conditions. For example, humidity condensation at the inlet duct of a GTE creates water mist, which affects the fouling phenomena in the compressor and varies the performance. In this paper, the effective factors on the short-term performance deterioration of a GTE are identified and studied. GTE performance level is quantified with two physics-based performance indicators, calculated from the recorded operating data from the control system of a GTE over a full time between overhaul (TBO) period. A regularized particle filtering (RPF) framework is developed for filtering the indicator signals, and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is then trained with the filtered signals and the effective ambient and the operating conditions, i.e., the power, the air mass flow, and the humidity condensation rate. The trained ANFIS model is then run to simulate the GTE performance deterioration in different conditions for system identification. The extracted behavior of the system clearly shows the dependency of the trend of performance deterioration on the operating conditions, especially the humidity condensation rate. The developed technique and the results can be utilized for GTE performance prediction, as well as for suggesting the optimum humidity supply at the GTE intake to control the performance deterioration rate.

The application of fuzzy logic is an effective approach to a variety of circumstances, including solutions to maritime anti-collision problems. The article presents an upgrade of the radar navigation system, in particular, its collision avoidance planning tool, using a decision model that combines dynamic parameters into one decision—the collision avoidance course. In this paper, a multi-parametric decision model based on fuzzy logic is proposed. The model calculates course alteration in a collision avoidance situation. First, the model collects input data of the target vessel and assesses the collision risk. Using time delay, four parameters are calculated for further processing as input variables for a fuzzy inference system. Then, the fuzzy logic method is used to calculate the course alteration, which considers the vessel’s safety domain and International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). The special feature of the decision model is its tuning with the results of the database of correct solutions obtained with the manual radar plotting method. The validation was carried out with six selected cases simulating encounters with the target vessel in the open sea from different angles and at any visibility. The results of the case studies have shown that the decision model computes well in situations where the own vessel is in a give-way position. In addition, the model provides good results in situations when the target vessel violates COLREG rules. The collision avoidance planning tool can be automated and serve as a basis for further implementation of a model that considers the manoeuvrability of the vessels, weather conditions, and multi-vessel encounter situations.

The real-time nondestructive testing (NDT) for crack detection and impact source identification (CDISI) has attracted the researchers from diverse areas. This is apparent from the current work in the literature. CDISI has usually been performed by visual assessment of waveforms generated by a standard data acquisition system. In this paper we suggest an automation of CDISI for metal armor plates using a soft computing approach by developing a fuzzy inference system to effectively deal with this problem. It is also advantageous to develop a chip that can contribute towards real time CDISI. The objective of this paper is to report on efforts to develop an automated CDISI procedure and to formulate a technique such that the proposed method can be easily implemented on a chip. The CDISI fuzzy inference system is developed using MATLAB’s fuzzy logic toolbox. A VLSI circuit for CDISI is developed on basis of fuzzy logic model using Verilog, a hardware description language (HDL). The Xilinx ISE WebPACK9.1i is used for design, synthesis, implementation, and verification. The CDISI field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation is done using Xilinx’s Spartan 3 FPGA. SynaptiCAD’s Verilog Simulators—VeriLogger PRO and ModelSim—are used as the software simulation and debug environment.

Summary This paper proposes an intelligent cooperative collision avoidance approach combining the enhanced potential field (EPF) with a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to resolve local minima and goal non-reachable with obstacles nearby issues and provide a near-optimal collision-free trajectory. A genetic algorithm is utilized to optimize parameters of membership function and rule base of the FISs. This work uses a single scenario containing all issues and interactions among unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for training. For validating the performance, two scenarios containing obstacles with different shapes and several UAVs in small airspace are considered. Multiple simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the conventional EPF approach statistically.
