Title: Enhancing Wind Energy Harvesting by Industrial Data Intelligence
Abstract:
Wind energy has been considered to be a promising alternative to current fossil-based energies. Large-scale wind turbines have been widely deployed to substantiate the renewable energy strategy of various countries. In this talk, challenges faced by academic and industrial communities for high reliable and efficient exploitation of wind energy are discussed. Industrial data intelligence is introduced to (partially) overcome problems, such as uncertainty, intermittence, and intense dynamics. Theoretical results and attempts for practice are both present.

Title: Developing Type-2 Fuzzy u-Control Chart Considering Probability based-Average Run Length
Abstract:
Fuzzy sets are an emerging trend in shaping the development of control charts of statistical process control. The sets are germane to vague data that comes from incomplete or inaccurate measurements. Nevertheless, fuzzy sets are inadequate in some areas of industries since their membership functions are crisp numbers. The fuzzy sets are not fully able to compute higher level of uncertainties which might degrade the performance of the analysis.Therefore, type-2 fuzzy sets are proposed to be merged with control charts since these sets are hypothesised to be more capable in detecting a defect of process control. This paper aims to develop interval type-2 fuzzy u (IT2Fu) charts as a new approach in detecting defects. In addition, this paper presents a comparative analysis of performances between traditional u-control charts, type-1 fuzzy u-control charts, and type-2 fuzzy u-control charts. Twenty-three samples of lubricants data with forty-eight subgroups were examined to identify the defects. The output showed that all of the control charts produced almost similar results except for data 14 which is “out of control” in IT2Fu-control charts, but “in control” in traditional u-control chart and “rather in control” in type-1 fuzzy u-control chart. Furthermore, the performances of the charts were compared using a probability-based average run length (ARL) where probability type 1 error is computed. It was found that the ARL value of IT2Fu-control chart showed the lowest value among the three types of charts. The analysis indicated that IT2Fu-control chart outperformed the traditional u-control chart and type-1 fuzzy u-control chart. The results obtained seemto support the idea that IT2Fu-control chart is more sensitive compared to type 1 fuzzy u-control chart and traditional u-control chart, so that IT2Fu-control charts are able to adequately support incomplete and vague data of process control.
Keywords: Interval type-2 fuzzy set, quality control, type-1 fuzzy set, u-control chart, average run length
