Abstract: A novel application of neural network approach to
fault classification and fault location of Medium voltage cables is
demonstrated in this paper. Different faults on a protected cable
should be classified and located correctly. This paper presents the use
of neural networks as a pattern classifier algorithm to perform these
tasks. The proposed scheme is insensitive to variation of different
parameters such as fault type, fault resistance, and fault inception
angle. Studies show that the proposed technique is able to offer high
accuracy in both of the fault classification and fault location tasks.
Abstract: In this paper a data miner based on the learning
automata is proposed and is called LA-miner. The LA-miner extracts
classification rules from data sets automatically. The proposed
algorithm is established based on the function optimization using
learning automata. The experimental results on three benchmarks
indicate that the performance of the proposed LA-miner is
comparable with (sometimes better than) the Ant-miner (a data miner
algorithm based on the Ant Colony optimization algorithm) and CNZ
(a well-known data mining algorithm for classification).
Abstract: The necessity of solving multi dimensional
complicated scientific problems beside the necessity of several
objective functions optimization are the most motive reason of born
of artificial intelligence and heuristic methods.
In this paper, we introduce a new method for multiobjective
optimization based on learning automata. In the proposed method,
search space divides into separate hyper-cubes and each cube is
considered as an action. After gathering of all objective functions
with separate weights, the cumulative function is considered as the
fitness function. By the application of all the cubes to the cumulative
function, we calculate the amount of amplification of each action and
the algorithm continues its way to find the best solutions. In this
Method, a lateral memory is used to gather the significant points of
each iteration of the algorithm. Finally, by considering the
domination factor, pareto front is estimated. Results of several
experiments show the effectiveness of this method in comparison
with genetic algorithm based method.
Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for busbar protection with stable operation of current transformer during saturation, using fuzzy neuro and symmetrical components theory. This technique uses symmetrical components of current signals to learn the hidden relationship existing in the input patterns. Simulation studies are preformed and the influence of changing system parameters such as inception fault and source impedance is studied. Details of the design procedure and the results of performance studies with the proposed relay are given in the paper. An analysis of the performance of the proposed technique during ct saturation conditions is presented. The performance of the technique was investigated for a variety of operating conditions and for several busbar configurations. Data generated by EMTDC simulations of model power systems were used in the investigations. The results indicate that the proposed technique is stable during ct saturation conditions.
