A fuzzy logic-based direct load control (DLC) scheme of large air conditioning loads (ACL), which considers the reliability characteristics of nodes where the ACL are connected, is proposed for restructured power systems. Transmission system reliability is integrated into the determination procedure of the DLC scheme of ACL using nodal reliability indices. fuzzy dynamic programming (FDP) is utilized to determine the optimal DLC scheme of ACL which can achieve a good tradeoff among peak load shaving, system operating cost reduction and system reliability improvement. The IEEE reliability test system (RTS) is used to illustrate the proposed technique. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A new methodology is presented for decision making in long-term expansion planning. Power system expansion planning involves an intrinsic uncertainty on data and parameters, a fact often worsened by the new rules of deregulated electrical markets. The proposed procedure models both the uncertainty in load forecasting and the experience of the planning expert who uses fuzzy sets theory and fuzzy dynamic programming in the model algorithm to find an optimal expansion alternative. This procedure was tested in a realistic model system and the results obtained were arranged in an expansion planning ranking list according to their membership in the decision set.

This paper deals with a stopping game in dynamicfuzzy systems with fuzzy rewards. We show that the optimal fuzzy reward is a unique solution of a fuzzy relational equation, and we estimate fuzzy rewards, by introducing a fuzzy expectation with a density given by fuzzy goals. We prove a minimax theorem for fuzzy expected values and show the existence of the value of the game. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

We propose a novel model to predict RNA secondary structure based on the fuzzy sets theory. Through the fuzzy partition of state spaces and the incorporation of fuzzy goals, we can find the optimal fuzzy policy of the model using fuzzy dynamic programming algorithm effectively, and then determine optimal and suboptimal RNA secondary structures. Compared to the existing sophisticated prediction models, such as Zuker's method and the SCFG model, our fuzzy model based approach has many advantages: 1) computational complexity can be reduced by the fuzzy partition; 2) the optimal secondary structure and several suboptimal ones can be generated simultaneously; and 3) subjective prior knowledge can readily be incorporated. This paper presents a complete description of our fuzzy model and gives the implementation of the proposed method. We also apply the BJK fuzzy model structure to secondary structure predictions based on datasets of tRNA and tmRNA sequences. By the comparison of our fuzzy method with both the minimum free energy based mfold tool and the BJK grammar model of SCFG, our experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the prediction accuracy is shown to be further improved.

This paper presents an efficient computational algorithm for selecting the optimal generation mix under uncertain circumstances. Subjective, experiential or linguistic uncertainties are selected from among various uncertainties, i.e., we treat fuzziness in generation expansion planning. The fuzziness can be divided into: (1) the fuzziness of decision making;and (2) the fuzziness of some planning parameters, such as load growth, fuel price, and so on. Both classes of fuzziness are integrated into a fuzzy decision based on fuzzy sets theory, and then the optimal generation mix can be determined by the fuzzy dynamic programming (FDP) technique. The proposed method, which is based on the dynamicprogramming technique, is extended by using the Bellman-Zadeh maximizing decision. In the method, each generation technology and generation capacity are selected as a stage and state, respectively. The proposed method can easily accommodate not only the fuzziness but also many constraints of generation expansion planning, such as integer solutions of unit capacities, condition of existing units, and so on. Furthermore, the arbitrary shape of membership function can be used. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are demonstrated on a typical power system model.

We first survey the application of fuzzy sets theory to various problems occurring in water resources systems. The problem of optimal flood control planning by an appropriate integration of structural and non-structural measures with the objective of optimizing the flood damage reduction due to recurrent floods is modeled via fuzzy sets methodologies. A two level optimization model appropriate for planning decisions first on a regional or local level and then on a national level is proposed. A third phase involving coordination is appended. In particular, a fuzzy optimization model involving an adroit combination of fuzzy dynamic programming-type reasoning and a branch and bound-type search procedure is offered as a more utilitarian approach than its crisp equivalent. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated with an example.

The study demonstrates the use of fuzzy expectation values in problems of multistage optimization under uncertainty. A practicable procedure is presented for the case where the optimization objective can be decomposed into a series of single-stage decision goals. Instead of probability theory, the uncertainty resolution is accomplished by fuzzy expectation values. In essence, then, the risk aversion is emboided in the selection of the fuzzy integration measure. If for example, the primary goal of the optimization is to achieve a strict cost minimum, then in the lack of information, a weaker goal can be introduced that corresponds to balancing the anticipated costs to the risk of exceeding these in reality. In a number of common optimization problems the method proposed facilitates a rapid solution with clear information on the risk involved.

In this paper, we present a fuzzy dynamic programming procedure for long term risk management. This approach is designed to provide insights on trade-offs between potential risks and rewards, the dynamics of interacting economic factors, and the feasibility of corporate goals over a long term planning horizon. This approach is applicable to many long term planning problems involving selection from a number of alternatives, when the decision parameters are imprecise and absolute requirements and decision thresholds can not be specified. A few examples of problems of this type include: portfolio optimization, risk management, evaluation of securities, liquidity management, and asset/liability management (which is given particular emphasis in this paper). Our formulation provides a computationally efficient and natural representation of the decision trade-offs inherent in many long term money management problems. This, in turn, facilitates the exploration and analysis of many alternative investment strategies under many possible future scenarios.

Equipment replacement decision which aims to find the best time to retire an old system is a key element in the planning process. Replacement scenarios consider the life span associated to each equipment category and the replacement of the obsolete equipment by an equivalent during the remaining life span after its obsolescence. This multi-stage decision-making problem can be solved by dynamicprogramming, but technical features that change over the years, unpredictable economy and time can cause uncertainty in prices. By combining classical dynamicprogramming with fuzzy set theory, this model can be revised. The purpose of this paper is to develop an optimal equipment replacement policy using combined interval type-2 fuzzy set and dynamicprogramming for the first time. The proposed methodology is applied to server equipment replacement problem.

We consider multistage control of a fuzzy system, given by a fuzzy state transition equation, under fuzzy constraints and fuzzy goals. First, we briefly survey previous basic solution methods of dynamicprogramming (Baldwin and Pilsworth, 1982) and branch-and-bound (Kacprzyk, 1979), which basically require some 'trickery', and are plagued by low numerical efficiency, and then sketch Kacprzyk's (1993a-e) approach based on possibilistic interpolative reasoning aimed at enhancing the numerical efficiency but requiring a solution of a simplified auxiliary problem, and then some 'read-justing' of the solution obtained. Then, we propose the use of a genetic algorithm. The real coding and specially defined operations of crossover, mutation, etc. are employed. The results obtained seem to be promising.
