INTRODUCTION

In the field of Electrical Engineering, one of the most exciting and potential recent developments is the increasing use of soft computing techniques in Power System Planning, Monitoring and Control. The term Soft Computing was introduced by Prof. Lofti Zadeh with the objective of exploiting the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainity and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness, low solution cost and better rapport with reality. The ultimate goal is to be able to emulate the human mind as closely as possible. Soft Computing involves partnership of several fields, the most important being Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms and Fuzzy logic. More recently Evolutionary Computing techniques and Meta-heuristic techniques also find wide application in Electrical Engineering field. Many real world problems naturally involve several conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms are best suitable for solution of such problems. The focus of the present course is to give complete coverage ranging from introduction to different applications of Soft Computing techniques in the field of Electrical Engineering.

Course Contents:

* ANNs, Various learning techniques.
* Fuzzy Logic.
* Evolutionary and Differential Evolutionary Algorithms
