Interval-valued fuzzy spiking neural P systems for fault diagnosis of power transmission networks

It is a challenge problem how to deal with the uncertainty in fault diagnosis of power systems. To solve the challenge problem, this paper introduces an interval-valued fuzzy spiking neural P system (IVFSNP system), where the interval-valued fuzzy logic is integrated into spiking neural P systems to characterize the uncertainty. Based on the IVFSNP system, a fuzzy reasoning algorithm is presented, and the corresponding fault diagnosis model is developed. IVFSNP system is capable of describing the incomplete and uncertain fault signals from a supervisory control and data acquisition system equipped together with electric power systems. In order to evaluate the availability and effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis model, two case studies of fault diagnosis of a transmission network are discussed and analyzed, including complex and multiple fault situations with the incomplete and uncertain status signals. The results of the case studies demonstrate that IVFSNP system can be used to diagnose the faulty sections in power transmission networks accurately and effectively.Research Fund of Sichuan Science and Technology Project 2018JY0083Chunhui Project Foundation of the Education Department of China Z2016143Chunhui Project Foundation of the Education Department of China Z2016148Research Foundation of the Education Department of Sichuan province 17TD003
