Abstract

This work describes performance evaluation of ANNs (Artificial Neural Networks) used to identify faults in electrical systems for several number of neurons in the hidden layers. The number of neurons in the hidden layers depends on the complexity of the problem to be represented. Currently, there are no reliable rules for determining, a priori, the number of hidden neurons, so that such number depends largely on the experience of the practitioners who are designing the ANNs. This paper reports experiment results using neural networks varying the number of hidden neurons to aid the neural network user to find an adequate configuration in terms of number of neurons in the hidden layers so that ANNs be more efficient particularly for fault identification applications.
