Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 8Fault Diagnosis of a Wind Turbine Simulated Model Via Neural Networks(IFAC Secretariat, 2018) Simani, Silvio; Turhan, CihanThe fault diagnosis of wind turbine systems has been proven to be a challenging task and motivates the research activities carried out through this work. Therefore, this paper deals with the fault diagnosis of wind turbines, and it proposes viable solutions to the problem of earlier fault detection and isolation. The design of the fault indicator involves a data-driven approach, as it represents an effective tool for coping with a poor analytical knowledge of the system dynamics, together with noise and disturbances. In particular, the data-driven proposed solution relies on neural networks that are used to describe the strongly nonlinear relationships between measurement and faults. The chosen network architecture belongs to the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input topology, as it can represent a dynamic evolution of the system along time. The developed fault diagnosis scheme is tested by means of a high-fidelity benchmark model, that simulates the normal and the faulty behaviour of a wind turbine. The achieved performances are compared with those of other control strategies, coming from the related literature. Moreover, a Monte Carlo analysis validates the robustness of the proposed solutions against the typical parameter uncertainties and disturbances.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1The Effects of Bias, Population Migration and Credit Assignment in Optimizing Trait-Based Heterogeneous Populations(CSREA Press, 2005) Gezgin, Erkin; Sevil, Hakkı Erhan; Özdemir, SerhanPopulation based search algorithms are becoming the mainstay in nonlinear problems with discontinuous search domains. The generic name of genetic algorithms (GAs) basicly applies to all population based methods. GAs have spawned many versions to suit new applications. Some of these alterations have reached such points that the algorithms may no longer be called GAs. One similar study may be found in [1], in which a perturbation based search algorithm was proposed, called Responsive Perturbation Algorithm (RPA). In a later work [2], instead of a population of homogenous individuals, as is the case for generic GAs, a population of heterogeneous individuals has been set to compete. Replacing the set of winner parents, the fittest individual is made the parent to yield offspring. The current work is now called, with the supplements, trait-based heterogeneous populations plus (TbHP+). Credit assignment and bias concepts in the form of immunity and instinct has been added to provide the populations with a more efficient guidance. Simulations were made through an RBF neural network training, as it was carried out in earlier works, mentioned above, for comparison. Results were prsented at the end as network testing errors which showed further improvement with TbHP+.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 63Artificial Neural Network (ann) Prediction of Compressive Strength of Vartm Processed Polymer Composites(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Seyhan, Abdullah Tuğrul; Tayfur, Gökmen; Karakurt, Murat; Tanoğlu, MetinA three layer feed forward artificial neural network (ANN) model having three input neurons, one output neuron and two hidden neurons was developed to predict the ply-lay up compressive strength of VARTM processed E-glass/ polyester composites. The composites were manufactured using fabric preforms consolidated with 0, 3 and 6 wt.% of thermoplastic binder. The learning of ANN was accomplished by a backpropagation algorithm. A good agreement between the measured and the predicted values was obtained. Testing of the model was done within low average error levels of 3.28%. Furthermore, the predictions of ANN model were compared with those obtained from a multi-linear regression (MLR) model. It was found that ANN model has better predictions than MLR model for the experimental data. Also, the ANN model was subjected to a sensitivity analysis to obtain its response. As a result, the ANN model was found to have an ability to yield a desired level of ply-lay up compressive strength values for the composites processed with the addition of the thermoplastic binder.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 6Genetic Algorithm-Artificial Neural Network Model for the Prediction of Germanium Recovery From Zinc Plant Residues(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2002) Akkurt, Sedat; Özdemir, Serhan; Tayfur, GökmenA multi-layer, feed-forward, back-propagation learning algorithm was used as an artificial neural network (ANN) tool to predict the extraction of germanium from zinc plant residues by sulphuric acid leaching. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used for the selection of training and testing data and a GA-ANN model of the germanium leaching system was created on the basis of the training data. Testing of the model yielded good error levels (r2 = 0.95). The model was employed to predict the response of the system to different values of the factors that affect the recovery of germanium and the results facilitate selection of the experimental conditions in which the optimum recovery will be achieved.
