3. Definition of Fuzzy Logic Fuzzy Logic is an extension of classical logic that allows reasoning with degrees of truth rather than the usual true/false binary. It utilizes linguistic variables to manage the inherent uncertainty in decision-making processes across various domains. Importance in Engineering Fuzzy Logic provides a robust framework for dealing with imprecision and uncertainty, making it invaluable in control systems, robotics, and functional artificial intelligence applications where traditional methods fail. Overview of Condition Monitoring and Fault Detection These are proactive maintenance approaches that utilize real-time data to assess the health of power systems, helping to identify potential faults before they lead to failures and downtime.
