This computational study explores the potential of several soft-computing techniques for wind turbine (WT) output power (kW) estimation based on seven input variables of wind speed (m/s), wind direction (°), air temperature (°C), pitch angle (°), generator temperature (°C), rotating speed of the generator (rpm), and voltage of the network (V). In the present analysis, a nonlinear regression-based model (NRM), three decision tree-based methods (random forest (RF), random tree (RT), and reduced error pruning tree (REPT) models), and multilayer perceptron-based soft-computing approach (artificial neural network (ANN) model) were simultaneously implemented for the first time in the prediction of WT output power (WTOP). To identify the top-performing soft computing technique, the applied models' predictive success was compared using over 30 distinct statistical goodness-of-fit parameters. The performance assessment indices corroborated the superiority of the RF-based model over other data-intelligent models in predicting WTOP. It was seen from the results that the proposed RF-based model obtained the narrowest uncertainty bands and the lowest quantities of increased uncertainty values across all sets. Although the determination coefficient values of all competitive decision tree-based models were satisfactory, the lower percentile deviations and higher overall accuracy score of the RF-based model indicated its superior performance and higher accuracy over other competitive approaches. The generator's rotational speed was shown to be the most useful parameter for RF-based model prediction of WTOP, according to a sensitivity study. This study highlighted the significance and capability of the implemented soft-computing strategy for better management and reliable operation of wind farms in wind energy forecasting.

A rapid and efficient method for the simultaneous monitoring and recovery of Auramine O (AO) and Methylene Blue (MB) dyes from water samples is presented. This method, named ultrasound-assisted dispersive-magnetic nanocomposites-solid-phase microextraction (UA-DMN-μSPE), utilizes NiCoMn/Fe 3 O 4 @C composite sorbents. Response surface methodology (RSM) combined with artificial neural networks (ANN) and generalized regression artificial neural network (GRNN) under central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize various parameters for efficient extraction, followed by further refinement using desirability function analysis (DFA) and genetic algorithms (GA). Under optimized conditions, the method achieved exceptional recovery rates (99.5 ± 1.2% for AO and 99.8 ± 1.1% for MB) with acetone as the eluent. Additionally, a high preconcentration factor of 45.50 and 47.30 for AO and MB, respectively, was obtained. Low detection limits of 0.45 ng mL⁻1 (AO) and 1.80 ng mL⁻1 (MB) were achieved with wide linear response ranges (5–1000 and 5–2000 ng mL⁻1 for AO and MB, respectively). The method exhibited good stability with RSDs below 3% for five recycling runs, and minimal interference from various ions was observed. This UA-DMN-μSPE-UV/Vis method offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency, preconcentration, and detection limits, making it a valuable tool for the analysis of AO and MB in water samples. [Display omitted] • UA-DMN-μSPE method optimized using RSM, ANN, and GRNN ensures high-performance MB and AO extraction. • Optimized UA-DMN-μSPE-UV/Vis method, developed with DFA and GA, enhances recovery, preconcentration, and selectivity for MB and AO. • Concurrent monitoring & recovery offers sustainable solution for dye removal. • Potential to address environmental & health concerns from non-degradable dyes.

In the present paper, the removal of ethidium bromide (EtBr) from aqueous solutions in a batch system using natural (NP) and aluminium-coated pumice (ACP) as alternative low-cost adsorbents was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity, q m (mg/g) was 58.82 and 76.92 mg/g for NP and ACP, respectively, operating at an initial pH of 8, an adsorbent dose of 8 g/L, a contact time of 210 min and an initial EtBr concentration of 30 mg/L. The equilibrium data of both adsorbents fitted the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating the heterogeneity of the adsorbent surface. In addition, the adsorption rate of both adsorbents was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. This indicated chemisorption was the rate-controlling step of the adsorption process which occurred by ion exchange. Within the performed study, a three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was also developed to predict the efficiency of EtBr removal. Computational results clearly demonstrated that the ANN model was able to predict the combined effect of initial pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and initial EtBr concentration on the adsorption efficiency with a very high determination coefficient ( R 2 = 0.998) and a low relative error (RE = 0.037).

Two three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) models were respectively developed to predict biogas and methane production rates in a pilot-scale mesophilic up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating molasses wastewater. Eight process-related variables such as volumetric organic loading rate (OLR), influent and effluent pH, operating temperature, influent and effluent alkalinity, effluent chemical oxygen demand (COD), and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations were selected for the implementation of an artificial intelligence-based approach. A tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) at the hidden layer and a linear transfer function (purelin) at the output layer were conducted for the proposed ANN models. Several benchmark comparisons were conducted to obtain an optimal algorithm for training the network. After backpropagation training combined with principal component analysis (PCA), the scaled conjugate gradient algorithm (trainscg) was found as the best of the 11 training algorithms. The number of neurons in the hidden layer was optimized as nine and 12 with the minimum mean squared errors (MSE) of 0.06238 and 0.06488, respectively, for the estimation of biogas and methane production rates. ANN-predicted results were also compared to the outputs of two non-linear regression models by means of several statistical indicators, such as determination coefficient (R2), unsystematic root mean-square error (RMSEU), index of agreement (IA), and fractional variance (FV). Computational results clearly demonstrated that, compared to the conventional multiple regression-based methodology, the proposed ANN-based models produced smaller deviations and exhibited superior predictive accuracy with satisfactory determination coefficients of about 0.935 and 0.924, respectively, for the forecasts of biogas and methane production rates.

A three-layer Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model (9:12:1) for the prediction of Chemical Oxygen Demand Removal Efficiency (CODRE) of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors treating real cotton textile wastewater diluted with domestic wastewater was presented. To validate the proposed method, an experimental study was carried out in three lab-scale UASB reactors to investigate the treatment efficiency on total COD reduction. The reactors were operated for 80 days at mesophilic conditions (36–37.5°C) in a temperature-controlled water bath with two hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 4.5 and 9.0 days and with organic loading rates (OLR) between 0.072 and 0.602 kg COD/m3/day. Five different dilution ratios of 15, 30, 40, 45 and 60% with domestic wastewater were employed to represent seasonal fluctuations, respectively. The study was undertaken in a pH range of 6.20–8.06 and an alkalinity range of 1,350–1,855 mg/l CaCO3. The concentrations of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and total suspended solids (TSS) were observed between 420 and 720 mg/l CH3COOH and 68–338 mg/l, respectively. In the study, a wide range of influent COD concentrations (CODi) between 651 and 4,044 mg/l in feeding was carried out. CODRE of UASB reactors being output parameter of the conducted anaerobic treatment was estimated by nine input parameters such as HRT, pH, CODi concentration, operating temperature, alkalinity, VFA concentration, dilution ratio (DR), OLR, and TSS concentration. After backpropagation (BP) training combined with principal component analysis (PCA), the ANN model predicted CODRE values based on experimental data and all the predictions were proven to be satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of about 0.8245. In the ANN study, the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm (LMA) was found as the best of 11 BP algorithms. In addition to determination of the optimal ANN structure, a linear-nonlinear study was also employed to investigate the effects of input variables on CODRE values in this study. Both ANN outputs and linear-nonlinear study results were compared and advantages and further developments were evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A three-layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the efficiency of Pb(II) ions removal from aqueous solution by Antep pistachio (Pistacia Vera L.) shells based on 66 experimental sets obtained in a laboratory batch study. The effect of operational parameters such as adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of Pb(II) ions, initial pH, operating temperature, and contact time were studied to optimise the conditions for maximum removal of Pb(II) ions. On the basis of batch test results, optimal operating conditions were determined to be an initial pH of 5.5, an adsorbent dosage of 1.0g, an initial Pb(II) concentration of 30ppm, and a temperature of 30°C. Experimental results showed that a contact time of 45min was generally sufficient to achieve equilibrium. After backpropagation (BP) training combined with principal component analysis (PCA), the ANN model was able to predict adsorption efficiency with a tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) at hidden layer with 11 neurons and a linear transfer function (purelin) at output layer. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA) was found as the best of 11 BP algorithms with a minimum mean squared error (MSE) of 0.000227875. The linear regression between the network outputs and the corresponding targets were proven to be satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of about 0.936 for five model variables used in this study.

This paper presents a new empirical model and a two-layer neural network approach for the determination of optimum body diameter (OBD) of air cyclones. OBD values were calculated by help of a MATLAB® algorithm for 505 different artificial scenarios given in a wide range of five main operating variables. The predicted results obtained from each proposed approach were compared with the wellknown Kalen and Zenz's model. The computational analysis showed that the empirical model and neural network outputs obviously agreed with the Kalen and Zenz's model, and all the predictions proved to be satisfactory, with a correlation coefficient of about 0.9998 and 1, respectively. The maximum diameter deviations from Kalen and Zenz's model were recorded as only ±1.3 cm and ± 0.0022 cm for the proposed model and NN outputs, respectively. In addition to proposed approaches, the pressure drop problem was controlled using a MATLAB® algorithm, and results were obtained rapidly and practically for varying data used in the cyclone design.

The efficiency of new and nano-scale adsorbents including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and γ-alumina in the removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions was experimentally evaluated in a batch-system reactor. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has specifically attempted to introduce a hybrid strategy based on artificial neural network and genetic algorithm techniques for modelling and optimizing adsorptive removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions via the proposed nanoparticles. The analyses of SEM, TEM, and FTIR were used to characterize both adsorbents. The response surface methodology (RSM) approach suggested a second-order polynomial model with a p -value < 0.0001 and R 2 of 0.9980 for MWCNTs adsorbent and a p -value < 0.0001 and R 2 of 0.9992 for γ-alumina adsorbent. The artificial neural network (ANN) approach suggested a three-layered feed-forward backpropagation model with R 2 of 0.9794 for MWCNTs adsorbent and R 2 of 0.9823 for γ-alumina adsorbent. The results linked to optimization by RSM showed that the maximum cobalt(II) removal efficiency of about 90% was achieved in the case of the MWCNTs adsorbent under the conditions of pH = 10, contact time = 38.6 min, MWCNTs dosage = 1.57 mg/L, and initial cobalt(II) concentration = 56.57 mg/L. About 93% of cobalt(II) removal could be obtained in the case of γ-alumina adsorbent under the conditions of pH = 10, contact time = 35.5 min, γ-alumina dosage = 1.63 g/L, and initial cobalt(II) concentration = 52.15 mg/L. The optimization values using the genetic algorithm (GA) technique were almost the same as those obtained from the RSM method. The kinetic model of Ho and McKay's pseudo-second order (PSO) and the isotherm model of Dubinin–Radushkevich were found to be the best-fitted to the experimental for both MWCNTs and γ-alumina. In addition, the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of MWCNTs and γ-alumina adsorbents for the adsorption of cobalt(II) was 78.94 mg/g and 75.78 mg/g, respectively. Also, a thermodynamic study exhibited a favorable and spontaneous adsorption process for both materials. The present study clearly concluded that the proposed adsorbents could be effectively used for the removal of cobalt(II) from aqueous solutions at lower adsorbent dose and shorter contact times than various adsorbents reported in literature. Unlabelled Image • Adsorptive removal of cobalt (II) was explored via MWCNTs and nano-alumina. • ANN and genetic algorithm were proposed for this first time in cobalt (II) adsorption. • Isotherms and kinetic data followed Dubinin–Radushkevich and PSO models, respectively. • A cobalt (II) removal efficiency above 90% was possible at pH = 10 and 1 g adsorbent/L. • Favorable and spontaneous removal was corroborated by thermodynamic study.

A novel application of artificial neural networks (ANN) combined with Taguchi orthogonal experimental design methodology (27 runs, 3 levels, 6 factors) was introduced for modeling and optimization of a new alternating pulse current electrocoagulation-flotation (APC-ECF) process for the removal of humic acid (HA) from aqueous media. Two different ANN architectures, such as multilayer perceptron (MLP NN) and generalized feed forward (GFF NN), were proposed and trained to describe the nonlinear behavior of a laboratory-scale batch APC-ECF reactor. Various operating parameters, such as initial HA concentration (C0), initial pH (pH0), electrical conductivity (EC0), current density (CD), and number of pulses (Npls), were used as inputs for the proposed networks, and the HA removal was selected as the output. According to the goodness-of-fit criteria, the computational results showed that the single hidden-layered GFF NN (5:6:1), where a sigmoid axon transfer function was used at its hidden layer and its output layer was trained by the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, showed the best performance (R2 = 0.999, MSE = 0.00006). For the optimal conditions of C0 = 42 mg/L, pH0 = 6.63, CD = 24.3 A/m2, EC0 = 856 μS/cm, and Npls = 3, the maximum HA removal was obtained based on the predicted outputs of the best ANN model (GFF NN). The results of the computational analysis clearly corroborated that ANN integrated design of experiments (DOE)-based modeling was rapidly and effectively used for predicting the optimum performance of a complex electrochemical process in removal of HA from water using aluminum electrodes in monopolar arrangement.
