An adaptive algorithm allows tracking of the main frequency component such that the notch frequency is the only changing parameter. Since the power line frequency is known to within a narrow tolerance band, it is possible to apply soft or hard limiting on the notch frequency. Soft and hard limiting are compared for Laplacian noise, and the effect of filtering is investigated for a signal with strong harmonic contents.","PeriodicalId":222278,"journal":{"name":"SMCia/99 Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE Midnight - Sun Workshop on Soft Computing Methods in Industrial Applications (Cat.

For the latter problem the workhorse of the industry is the 3-element proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller which can be tuned to provide reasonable performance over a relatively wide range of operation and control problems. PID controllers can, however, become detuned over time as operators continually make minor adjustments. Solutions to the problems of sensor redundancy and self-tuning controllers are discussed using artificial neural networks (ANNs), which can learn in a static mode in the case of sensor redundancy, or dynamically (on-line) in the case of self-tuning adaptation.","PeriodicalId":222278,"journal":{"name":"SMCia/99 Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE Midnight - Sun Workshop on Soft Computing Methods in Industrial Applications (Cat.

In this paper, special attention is focused on neural network generalisation in large-scale system modelling. Generalisation has been improved by operation points classification and a reduction of the number of neural network inputs. The results prove the capability of neural networks to model the most critical voltage stability margin in a large electric power system. The proposed approach is tested with an IEEE 118-bus test network. The generalisation and training time of a neural network model can be improved significantly using the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":222278,"journal":{"name":"SMCia/99 Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE Midnight - Sun Workshop on Soft Computing Methods in Industrial Applications (Cat.

Tekes (Technology Development Centre), a financing organization under the Finnish ministry of trade and industry, launched in 1995 a five-year technology programme “Adaptive and intelligent systems applications” l , whose purpose is to develop working applications of computational intelligence in co-operation between Finnish research groups and industry. The plenary talk will be based on the results of this programme, as well as reported European and world-wide activities in the field. Some cases of the author’s own research projects are covered as well. The Tekes programme consists of company consortia projects, separate product development projects, and research projects. At present, there are 16 company consortia projects or product development projects and 5 research projects going on. These 21 projects are being partially financed by about 80 commercial enterprises. During the programme 15 product development projects have been finalized thus far. A number of new patent applications have been made and more than 10 new companies have been founded. The key application technologies are neural networks and fuzzy systems, and the largest application areas are industrial control, monitoring, diagnostics, and finance. The annual budget has been about 30 million mk, equivalent to 5 million Euro. In the intermediate evaluation of the programme it was estimated that the turnover in the years 1996-2000 would be FIM 300-350 million (USD 60-70 million) and that the process and quality savings in the same period would be over FIM 100 million (USD 20 million). Companies can utilise the results of the research projects to develop even more challenging applications to new promising markets. Finnish academic research groups have been involved in basic research on some of these techniques for more than two decades. This is largely due to the pioneering work of prof. Teuvo Kohonen of Helsinki University of Technology which started in late 60’s. This work has concentrated on associative memories, artificial neural networks, unsupervised learning, and pattern recognition.
