Fuzzy logic controller implementation on a microbial electrolysis cell for biohydrogen production and storage

Application of artificial intelligence-based methods in bioelectrochemical systems: Recent progress and future perspectives

Bioelectrochemical Systems (BESs) leverage microbial metabolic processes to either produce electricity by degrading organic matter or consume electricity to assist metabolism, and can be used for various applications such as energy production, wastewater treatment, and bioremediation. Given the intricate mechanisms of BESs, the application of artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods have been proposed to enhance the performance of BESs due to their capability to identify patterns and gain insights through data analysis. This review focuses on the analysis and comparison of AI algorithms commonly used in BESs, including artificial neural network (ANN), genetic programming (GP), fuzzy logic (FL), support vector regression (SVR), and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). These algorithms have different features, such as ANN's simple network structure, GP's use in the training process, FL's human-like thought process, SVR's high prediction accuracy and robustness, and ANFIS's combination of ANN and FL features. The AI-based methods have been applied in BESs to predict microbial communities, products or substrates, and reactor performance, which can provide valuable information and improve system efficiency. Limitations of AI-based methods for predicting and optimizing BESs and recommendations for future development are also discussed. This review demonstrates the potential of AI-based methods in optimizing BESs and provides valuable information for the future development of this field.

Wavelet packet and fuzzy logic theory for automatic fault detection in induction motor

In this paper, a method based on the application of the fuzzy logic technique to diagnose the fault of broken rotor bars in an induction machine has been proposed. Through the decomposition into a wavelet packet, we can detect, identify and prognosis failures in all operating conditions of the machine. The energy calculations for each level of decomposition are richer with the necessary information for fault diagnosis. The latter can be used as input to an intelligent diagnostic system based on fuzzy logic for the detection and classification of the broken bars faults. The advantage of this method is the use of a single current sensor. Indeed, we can detect online, the fault and the number of broken bars with a variable load. The obtained results are very satisfactory. Some results were verified by simulations under MATLAB/Simulink and validated experimentally via dSPACE 1104 card.
