Real-time neuro-fuzzy controller for pressure adjustment in water distribution systems

This work applied a neuro-fuzzy technique for real-time pressure control in water distribution systems with variable demand. The technique acted to control the rotation speed of the pumping system, aiming mainly at increasing energy efficiency. Fuzzy, neural and neuro-fuzzy controllers were tested i...
