An application of the L-Fuzzy Concept Theory to the short-circuit detection

There are many technical areas where we can find an application of the L-fuzzy concept theory to the knowledge extraction. Among them, one that seems of special interest is the diagnosis of failures by means of the study of an interval-valued L-fuzzy context. We will concentrate on in the electrical networks and we will construct an interval-valued L-fuzzy context that we will use, when a short-circuit is detected, to determine in what place it has occurred. It will be an alternative to the traditional method of detection of short-circuits by means of relays. In particular, the diagnosis of the short-circuits produced in the electrical network will be analysed in this paper in two different cases: in the first place we will solve the problem in the case of having all the necessary information. Next, we will see how we can obtain a diagnosis when the measurement of the voltages obtained after the short-circuit has taken place is not complete.
