Abstract
An intelligent controller for on-line monitoring of circulation system in order to minimize a problem of streaming electrification and to avoid degradation of the electrical insulation of the system. The controller is designed to combine advantages of fuzzy logic and neural networks, and includes a fuzzy logic (employing a pseudo-neural network) for acquiring analog input data from a plurality of sensors and for interpreting this input data into fuzzyfier outputs. A main processor consisting of a fully connected feed-forward neural network serves for processing the fuzzifier outputs in order to obtain controlling instructions for the system.
