Determination of early breeder in goldfish (Carassius auratus Linn.) with learning vector quantization, probabilistic and pattern recognition neural networks

It is common practice to categorize growing fish according to quality in fish farming centers. For such an application, experienced and estimating people are needed. By pre-selecting the right fish for the ornamental fish industry, it gets ahead of the competitors. This study deals with the classification of early breeder determination in goldfish using three different Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques. This classification model can help the fish industry assess classification risks and make the right decision. The used dataset was derived from the results of the classification section of 120 goldfish. It consisted of 7 input parameters (day, live weight, body length, head height, head width, body height, and current class). During trial, all goldfish fed by a diet contained 360 g crude protein and 4449.85 kcal metabolizable energy (kg / dry matter). The important types of classification ANNs, namely Learning Vector Quantization Neural Network (LVQNN), Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), and Pattern Recognition Neural Network (PRNN) were employed for the machine learning scheme. The training and test performances of the ANN models were compared with the correct prediction ratio. They showed that all of the proposed ANN techniques were well at classification. However, the PRNN model was better than the LVQNN and PNN as a classifier for the breeder selection of goldfish. Therefore, the results of PRNN model such as histogram, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, regression, confusion matrix, accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F1 score were given and discussed. Furthermore, the classification of early breeder determination in goldfish were examined for days with the best PRNN.

Technological advances, dynamic customer needs, growing uncertainty, and the imperative for sustainable development pressure manufacturing entities to enhance productivity and competitiveness. In this challenging landscape, decision-making in manufacturing process selection is critical. Adopting intelligent support is essential for balancing performance and costs through optimal process selection. Through a comprehensive review of 93 studies published between 2013 and 2023, this paper aims to provide a profound understanding of intelligent support in manufacturing process selection. The findings, which indicate significant interest in intelligent methodologies for manufacturing process selection, are of great importance. Fuzzy logic is prevalent in additive manufacturing due to its ability to handle complex and imprecise data. At the same time, artificial neural networks are favored in conventional manufacturing for leveraging extensive historical data. Genetic algorithms are primarily used for optimization challenges. As manufacturing evolves with new technologies and complex materials, this paper advocates adopting a generalized matrix learning vector quantization neural network for efficient and intelligent process selection in additive and conventional approaches due to its capacity to leverage historical data and handle complex and high dimensional data.

Tractor condition recognition has important research value in helping to understand the operating status of tractors and the trend of tillage depth changes in the field. Therefore, this article presents a method for recognizing tractor conditions, providing the basis for establishing the relationship between tractor conditions and the tillage depth of the attached agricultural machinery. This study designed a tractor condition recognition method based on neural networks. Using real-world vehicle data to establish a data set, K-means clustering analysis was used to label the data set based on four conditions: “accelerated start”, “constant speed”, “decelerated stop” and “turning”. The learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural network and the VGG-16 model of a CNN were selected for use recognizing the tractor conditions. The results showed that both the neural networks had good recognition effects. The average accuracy rates of the VGG-16 model of CNN and LVQ neural network were 90.25% and 79.7%, respectively, indicating that these models could be applied to tractor condition recognition and provide theoretical support for the correction of angle detection errors.

Damage Detection of Gantry Crane with a Moving Mass Using Artificial Neural Network

Gantry cranes play a pivotal role in various industrial applications, and their reliable operation is paramount. While routine inspections are standard practice, certain defects, particularly in less accessible components, remain challenging to detect early. In this study, first a finite element model is presented, and the damage is introduced using random changes in the stiffness of different parts of the structure. Contrary to the assumption of inherent reliability, undetected defects in crucial structural elements can lead to catastrophic failures. Then, the vibration equations of healthy and damaged models are analyzed to find the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the different crane parts. The learning vector quantization neural network is used to train and detect the defects. The output is the location of the damage and the damage severity. Noisy data are then used to evaluate the network performance robustness. This research also addresses the limitations of traditional inspection methods, providing early detection and classification of defects in gantry cranes. The study’s relevance lies in the need for a comprehensive and efficient damage detection method, especially for components not easily accessible during routine inspections.

A comprehensive performance evaluation algorithm for substation secondary equipment: An improved analytic hierarchy process entropy weight and learning vector quantization neural network approach

AbstractThis paper introduces a comprehensive performance evaluation algorithm explicitly designed for secondary equipment in substations, specifically targeting the relay protection system. In contrast to the current evaluation systems, this novel method navigates the complex internal interconnections and mechanisms inherent within secondary system equipment. Such complications have previously impeded the accuracy and breadth of evaluations, thereby limiting the degree of precision and innovation attainable within substations. The proposed approach effectively integrates the improved Analytic Hierarchy Process entropy weight (IAHP‐EW) method with the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural network. Initially, the IAHP‐EW method identified the comprehensive evaluation indicators and their corresponding weights for relay protection devices. Following weight allocation, these evaluation indicators are scrutinized and computed utilizing the multivariate regression analysis algorithm, resulting in performance evaluation outcomes for the relay protection system. These outcomes are subsequently classified and utilized in training the LVQ neural network, promoting the network's capacity to autonomously evaluate the performance status of the relay protection system. To corroborate the viability and effectiveness of this proposed performance evaluation and prediction algorithm, empirical operating data from a local substation is used. The results suggest a significant improvement in the evaluation accuracy of secondary equipment performance, indicating potential for practical application and a valuable contribution to the field through the introduction of a novel approach to performance assessment of substation relay protection systems.

Detecting loss of excitation condition of synchronous generator in the presence of unified power flow controller based on data mining method

Loss-of-excitation (LOE) conditions may cause devastating effects on both the generator and power system. If LOE is not meticulously detected, two dangerous events may emerge: 1. unnecessary trip signal, 2. not detecting this abnormal condition or detecting it with time delay. Both mentioned flaws have considerable harmful consequences on the generator and power system. Conventional techniques for detecting LOE conditions are based on impedance measurement. The presence of flexible alternating current transmission (FACT) system devices can considerably affect the impedance characteristic of the system and as a result, the operation of impedance-based relays. This paper simulates LOE and stable power swing (SPS) conditions causing failures and errors in the LOE protection in the presence or absence of a unified power flow compensator (UPFC), and parameters with different behaviors are determined. Then, the most sensitive parameters are combined using an intelligent method. The single parameter, achieved from a combination of features in the previous process, is applied to a learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural network. The LVQ is a type of artificial neural network that is based on a prototype supervised learning classification algorithm and trained its network through a competitive learning algorithm. The simulation results show that, in a single machine infinitive bus (SMIB) test system, R-X directional scheme has 2 mal-operations and the proposed algorithm has no mal-operation without UPFC in the system. With UPFC in the system, the R-X directional scheme has four mal-operations and the proposed algorithm has no mal-operation. In the IEEE 9-bus test system, the R-X directional scheme has five mal-operations and the proposed algorithm has no mal-operation. Moreover, applying the proposed algorithm, LOE is detected very quickly in the presence or absence of the UPFC in the system and this approach prevents electrical and mechanical stresses enforced to the machine and power system. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

An energy active regulation management strategy based on driving mode recognition for electro-hydraulic hybrid vehicles

Electro-hydraulic hybrid vehicles(EHHVs) have shown astonishing advantages in energy utilization and recovery. However, the key factor affecting the energy efficiency lies in the selection and switching conditions of driving modes. This paper introduces the structure and working principle of an electro-hydraulic hybrid vehicle that combines planetary gear mechanism. And an energy active regulation management strategy combined with driving mode recognition(DMR) and fuzzy control strategy is proposed. Firstly, a driving mode feature parameter evaluation is presented based on the collected speed and the principal component analysis(PCA). Secondly, K-means clustering algorithm is applied to identify offline driving modes through the extraction of driving short cycles. Then, combined with the PCA results, a Learning Vector Quantization neural network(LVQ) is constructed to recognize driving modes. Simultaneously, a fuzzy controller is added to allocate torque ratio. Finally, the DMR and fuzzy controller are combined to realize the energy active regulation of motors and hydraulic pump/motor. Experimental results indicate that energy management strategies based on DMR and fuzzy controller can realize optimal switching between modes according to condition recognition. It improves the utilization rate of the accumulator, and reduces battery energy consumption compared with traditional strategies.

A transient stability enhancement framework based on rapid fault-type identification for virtual synchronous generators

The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control, widely used for voltage source inverters, is prone to the loss of synchronization (LOS) under large disturbances such as grid voltage sags. Despite the significant amount of research that has been conducted on the transient stability of VSGs, the existing conclusions on the influence of virtual inertia under different fault conditions remain controversial. In this paper, the conflicting effect of virtual inertia on VSG transient stability under different severities of grid voltage sag is comprehensively investigated. Faults, like grid voltage sags, are classified into two types in this paper: transient tolerable faults and transient intolerable faults. Moreover, a unified control framework for rapid fault-type identification and transient stability improvement is proposed. The Learning vector quantization (LVQ) neural networks are used to distinguish fault types within 5 ms. Based on the fault-type identification results, the proposed control strategies are applied to enhance the transient stability of VSG. Finally, simulations and control-hardware-in-loop experimental validations are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Unsupervised machine learning and multi-seismic attributes for fault and fracture network interpretation in the Kerry Field, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Unsupervised machine learning using an unsupervised vector quantization neural network (UVQ-NN) integrated with meta-geometrical attributes as a novel computation process as opposed to traditional methodologies is currently used effectively in the 3D seismic structural interpretation for high-resolution detection of fault patterns, fracture network zones, and small-scale faults (SSFs). This technology has a crucial role in locating prospective well sites and building a 3D structural model while saving time and cost. The innovation of the current workflow involves combining geostatistical and structural filtering, optimal geometrical seismic attributes, UVQ-NN for automatic major faults, fracture network zones, and SSFs volumes extraction due to the unavailability of well logs and cores. To sharpen the fault edges and discontinuities, a steered volume was first extracted. Structural filters were then applied to the 3D volume, first with a dip-steered median filter (DSMF), followed by a dip-steered diffusion filter (DSDF), and finally, both DSMF and DSDF were combined to generate the fault enhancement filter (FEF). After that, optimal geometrical attributes were computed and extracted, such as similarity, FEF on similarity, maximum curvature, polar dip, fracture density, and thinned fault likelihood (TFL) attributes. Finally, selected attributes were inserted as the input layer to the UVQ-NN to generate segmentation and matching volumes. On the other hand, the TFL was used with the voxel connectivity filter (VCF) for 3D automatic fault patches extraction. The results from the UVQ-NN and VCF identified the locations, orientations, and extensions of the main faults, SSFs, and fracture networks. The implemented approach is innovative and can be employed in the future for the identification, extraction, and classification of geological faults and fracture networks in any region of the world.

Toward improving the performance of learning by joining feature selection and ensemble classification techniques: an application for cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer is known as the most common type of cancer in women, and this has raised the importance of its diagnosis in medical science as one of the most important issues. In addition to reducing costs, the diagnosis of benign or malignant breast cancer is very important in determining the treatment method. The purpose of this paper is to present a model based on data mining techniques including feature selection and ensemble classification that can accurately predict breast cancer patients in the early stages. The proposed breast cancer detection model is developed by joining Adaptive Differential Evolution (ADE) algorithm for feature selection and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural network for classification. Our proposed model as ADE-LVQ has the ability to automatically and quickly diagnose breast cancer patients into two classes, benign and malignant. As a new evolutionary approach, ADE performs optimal configuration for LVQ neural network in addition to selecting effective features from breast cancer data. Meanwhile, we configure an ensemble classification technique based on LVQ, which significantly improves the prediction performance. ADE-LVQ has been analyzed from different perspectives on different datasets from Wisconsin breast cancer database. We apply different approaches to handle missing values and improve data quality on this database. The results of the simulations showed that the ADE-LVQ model is more successful than the equivalent and state-of-the-art models in diagnosing breast cancer patients. Also, ADE-LVQ provides better performance with less complexity, considering feature selection and ensemble learning. In particular, ADE-LVQ improves accuracy (up to 3.4%) and runtime (up to 2.3%) on average compared to the existing best method. Combined methods based on data mining techniques for breast cancer diagnosis can help doctors in making better decisions for disease treatment.

A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient-based energy management strategy for a battery-ultracapacitor electric vehicle considering driving condition recognition with learning vector quantization neural network

Deep reinforcement learning algorithms have been widely applied in the energy management of hybrid energy storage systems. However, these deep reinforcement learning algorithms, such as DQN and DDPG, have the problem of discontinuous action space and consistently overestimated Q values. To address this issue, a novel energy management strategy based on a twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm is proposed for the battery-ultracapacitor electric vehicles in this study. In addition, the driving condition recognition method is integrated into the energy management strategy framework to reduce the training time of the TD3 agent. The detailed implementation steps are as follows. At first, dynamic experiments were performed to establish high-precision models of the battery and ultracapacitor. Secondly, learning vector quantization neural networks are applied to classify driving conditions, namely, urban, suburban and highway conditions. Furthermore, three parallel TD3 agents are trained for urban, suburban and highway conditions, respectively. Finally, the proposed strategy is evaluated under standard driving cycles. The simulation results indicate that compared with the TD3-based strategy, the proposed strategy improves the economy by 1 % and reduces the training time by 34 %, and the economic gap with the dynamic programming-based energy management strategy is narrowed down to 3 %.

Energy management strategy (EMS) is a way to reduce the energy consumption of hybrid power systems. This article proposes a unique deep reinforcement learning- (DRL-) based EMS for plug-in hybrid electric heavy-duty trucks (PHETs), combining driving cycle pattern recognition (DPR) and deep transfer learning (DTL). The proposed EMS can cope well with the complex usage scenarios of PHETs and the difficulty of generating EMS. While ensuring the minimum overall driving cost, the strategy can improve the convergence speed of the DRL method and the generalizability under segmented usage scenarios. Firstly, representative driving cycles that reflect different usage scenarios are constructed based on a naturalistic data-driven method. Secondly, a plug-in hybrid electric heavy-duty truck (PHET) driving pattern recognizer based on a learning vector quantization neural network (LVQ) is built. Thirdly, the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm is innovatively combined with the DTL algorithm. The pretrained neural network in the corresponding usage scenarios is transferred to the natural driving cycles based on DTL. Moreover, the proposed EMS gives an emphasized consciousness on the battery degradation cost. Finally, the strategy is tested under natural driving cycles in different usage scenarios and proven through comparison with the current state-of-the-art techniques, deep reinforcement learning-based strategy, and dynamic programming (DP). The results show that the proposed strategy outperforms existing cutting-edge deep reinforcement learning techniques in terms of convergence speed, battery life extension, fuel consumption, and overall driving cost reduction. The proposed control strategy can improve the convergence speed by nearly 50%, while effectively extending the battery life and reducing the overall driving cost compared to the existing state-of-the-art strategies. The battery degradation rate is reduced by 48.46%, 57.95%, and 36.99%, and the driving cost is reduced by 17.76%, 8.51%, and 7.12%, respectively, under each usage scenario.

This paper proposes a novel power management strategy for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles based on deep reinforcement learning algorithm. Three parallel soft actor-critic (SAC) networks are trained for high speed, medium speed, and low-speed conditions respectively; the reward function is designed as minimizing the cost of energy cost and battery aging.

The SAC-based control strategy is evaluated based on the standard driving cycles and Shenyang practical data. The results indicate the presented method can obtain the effect close to dynamic programming and can be further improved by up to 6.38% after the online update for uncertain driving conditions.

Deep Q-learning network based trip pattern adaptive battery longevity-conscious strategy of plug-in fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle

The driving trip pattern is of great significance in hydrogen consumption and battery Longevity of the plug-in fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (PFCHEV). However, the traditional energy management strategy failed to consider the uncertainty of driving patterns. To overcome this drawback, a deep Q-learning network based trip pattern adaptive (DQN-TPA) battery longevity-conscious strategy is proposed in this study. To begin with, the trip pattern recognition based Learning Vector Quantization Neural Network is devised for pattern identification, and the adaptive-equivalent consumption minimizes strategy (A-ECMS) is conducted to improve the hydrogen consumption. Then, a TPA longevity-conscious strategy is developed and compared with the conventional multi-criteria (MC) optimization strategy to investigate the discrepancy brought by the pattern adaptation. And finally, in combination with the above efforts, an improved DQN-TPA based battery longevity-conscious strategy has been established accordingly. The advances are confirmed by the validation results that, the A-ECMS makes an 11.76% promotion in fuel economy by taking the deviation among different driving patterns into concern. The TPA strategy shows more adaptiveness than the MC optimization strategy in which, the effective Ah-throughput is 5.17% lower than MC-based while keeping the same economy. Further improvement can be achieved by the modified DQN-TPA based approach by remedying the imperfection of TPA-based recognition delay and performing the economy and durability conscious actions with 5.87% further reduction of effective Ah-throughput without observably sacrificing the fuel economy. Furthermore, the effectiveness and adaptiveness of the proposed strategy are validated by the Hardware-in-the-Loop experiments. Both the numerical validation and semi-physical validation results indicate that the DQN-TPA based approach made it possible to develop the battery longevity-conscious strategy capable of significantly adapting various driving patterns and improving the hydrogen consumption and battery durability performance of the PFCHEV.
