Hybrid expert system - neural network - Fuzzy Logic methodology for transient identification
- Tennessee Univ., Knoxville, TN (United States). Dept. of Nuclear Engineering
A methodology is presented that demonstrates the potential of pretrained artificial neural networks (ANN`s) as generators of membership functions for the purpose of transient identification in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). In order to provide timely concise and task-specific information about the many aspects of the transient and to determine the state of the system based on the interpretation of potentially noisy data, a model-referenced approach is utilized, where pretrained ANNs provide the model. Membership functions -- that condense information about a transient in a form convenient for a rule-based identification system -- are produced through ANN`S. The results demonstrate the extremely good noise-tolerance of ANN`s and suggest a new method for transient identification within the framework of Fuzzy Logic.
