  • Publication number: 20240095755
    Abstract: A hybrid method for green intelligent manufacturing (GiM) combines the carbon reduction and the energy saving into the intelligent manufacturing based Industry 4.1 cloud platform. GiM assists companies to achieve the goal of net zero transition and help them advance to Industry 4.2 as soon as possible by simultaneously taking carbon footprint and energy issues into account. GiM collects large volumes of essential data (including carbon footprint) via cyber physical agents (CPAs), and sends them to two critical services of carbon management and intelligent energy management system (iEMS) deployed on the cloud platform. The two critical services optimize the energy dispatch schedule by strictly following the requirements of energy saving, carbon reduction, and net zero. Then, the state of zero defects of intelligent manufacturing achieved in Industry 4.1 can be upgraded to net zero of GiM in Industry 4.2.

  • Patent number: 8774949
    Abstract: A present invention relates to a novel hybrid intelligent control system and method for power generating apparatuses, in which the control system comprises: a fuzzy sliding mode speed controller, embedded with a fuzzy inference mechanism so as to be used for controlling the speed of a power generating apparatus; and a radial basis function network (RBFN) pitch controller, being embedded with an on-line training RBFN so as to be used for controlling the pitch angle of a turbine coupled to the power generating apparatus. In a variable-speed energy conversion system using the aforesaid control system, the turbine can be driven to operate at its maximum efficiency by adjusting its blade pitch angle in response to the variation of the input flowing into the turbine, while allowing the shaft speed of the power generating apparatus to be controlled by a fuzzy interference mechanism so as to achieve its maximum power output.
