This study deals with the design of distributed power systems and optimal capacitor placement based on the ANFIS (Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference Systems) using Mamdani-type fuzzy inference model. Traditionally, this problem of optimal capacitor placement has been solved through various optimization techniques, but it is less accuracy of finding placement and more time consuming. This can be a...

The application of Artificial Intelligent approaches was introduced recently in protection of distribution networks. These approaches started with introducing Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), then using Artificial Neural Network (ANN).In this research, the application of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for protection of bus bars will be illustrated. The ANFIS can be viewed as a fuzzy...

evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. this paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

Awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. Therefore, the present study two hybrid models, Wavelet- Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Interference System (WANFIS) and Wavelet- Artificial Neural Network (WANN) are used for flow prediction of Gamasyab River (Nahavand, Hamedan, Iran...

Wave height as well as water depth at the breaking point are two basic parameters which are necessary for studying coastal processes. In this study, the application of soft computing-based methods such as artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and semi-empirical models for prediction of these parameters are investigated. Th...

Fuzzy inference systems have been applied in recent years in various medical fields due to their ability to obtain good results featuring white-box models. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which combines adaptive neural network capabilities with the fuzzy logic qualitative approach, has been previously used in modelling survival of breast cancer patients based on patient groups de...

Terrorism has led to many problems in Thai societies, not only property damage but also civilian casualties. Predicting terrorism activities in advance can help prepare and manage risk from sabotage by these activities. This paper proposes a framework focusing on event classification in terrorism domain using fuzzy inference systems (FISs). Each FIS is a decisionmaking model combining fuzzy log...

Purpose Respiratory motion prediction is a chaotic time series prediction problem. In this study, respiratory motion predictability from 12 traces from breast cancer patients is examined by using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Interval Type-2 Non Singleton Fuzzy System (IT2NSFLS). Methods Free breathing data curves were obtained from Real Time Position Management system (RPM ...
