This paper shows a few novel calculations for wind speed estimation, which is focused around soft computing. The inputs of to the estimators are picked as the wind turbine power coefficient, rotational rate and blade pitch angle. Polynomial and radial basis function (RBF) are applied as the kernel function of Support Vector Regression (SVR) technique to estimate the wind speed in this study. Instead of minimizing the observed training error, SVR_poly and SVR_rbf attempt to minimize the generalization error bound so as to achieve generalized performance. The results are compared with the adaptive neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) results.

Reinforcement learning addresses the question of how an autonomous agent can learn to choose optimal actions to achieve its goals. Efficient exploration is of fundamental importance for autonomous agents that learn to act. Previous approaches to exploration in reinforcement learning usually address exploration in the case when the environment is fully observable. In contrast, we study the case when the environment is only partially observable. We consider different exploration techniques applied to the learning algorithm “Utile Suffix Memory”, and, in addition, discuss an adaptive fringe depth. Experimental results in a partially observable maze show that exploration techniques have serious impact on performance of learning algorithm.
