The use of lighting loads is one of the crucial matters which increases every year. The increasing use then leads to the development of brighter and longer-lasting sources. In addition, the conventional use of lighting loads today, which only emit light at its maximum intensity, does not allow the consumers to adjust the brightness level as needed. Consequently, this condition may cause energy wastage. The LED lighting system is gaining popularity as it is widely used in a wide range of applications. The advantages of LEDs, such as its compact size and varied lamp colors, replace conventional lighting sources. The linear setting of the driver topology using the flyback converter was aimed to control the LEDs with a constant current in order to adjust the variation of the LED light intensity. The closed-loop driver circuit with flyback converter topology was designed as an LED driver with a given load specification from the LED string. A dimmable feature was included for adjusting the intensity of the light produced by the LEDs. Eventually, the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) method was applied to the integrated change setting to obtain a dynamic response.

In recent times, High-Brightness Light Emitting Diodes (HB-LEDs) are developing rapidly and it is confirmed to be the future development in lighting not only because of their high efficiency and high reliability, however also because of their other exceptional features: chromatic variety, shock and vibration resistance, etc. In this paper, a Bridgeless (BL) Isolated Interleaved Zeta Converter is proposed for the purpose of reducing the diode failures or losses, the value of output ripples also gets decreased. The proposed BL isolated interleaved zeta converter operating in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) is used for controlling the brightness of LED Driver with inherent PFC at ac mains using single voltage sensor. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to adjust the Modulation Index of the voltage controller in order to improve the dynamic response of LED Lamp driver. Based on the error of converter output voltage, FLC is designed to select the optimum Modulation Index of the voltage controller. The proposed LED driver is simulated to achieve a unity power factor at ac mains for a wide range of voltage control and supply voltage fluctuations.

<span>Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) has shown excellent performance in dealing with the non-linearity and complex dynamic model of the induction motor. However, a conventional constant parameter FLC (CPFL) will not be able to provide–good coverage performance for a wide speed range operation with a single tuning parameter. Therefore, this paper proposed a self tuning mechanism FLC approach by model reference adaptive controller (ST-MRAC) to continuously allow to adjust the parameters. Due to real time hardware application, the dominant rules selection method for simplified rules has been implemented as part of the reducing computational burden. Experiment results validate a good performance of the ST-MRAC compared to the CPFL for the   speed performance in terms of the wide range of operations and disturbance showed remarkable performance.</span>

To study the aircraft response to a fast pull-up manoeuvre, a short period approximation of the longitudinal model is considered. The model is highly nonlinear and includes parametric uncertainties. To cope with a wide range of command signals, a robust adaptive fuzzy logic controller is proposed. The proposed controller adopts a dynamic inversion approach. Since feedback linearization is practically imperfect, robustifying and adaptive components are included in the control law to compensate for modeling errors and achieve acceptable tracking errors. Two fuzzy systems are implemented. The first system models the nominal values of the system’s nonlinearity. The second system is an adaptive one that compensates for modeling errors. The derivation of the control law based on a dynamic game approach is given in detail. Stability of the closed-loop control system is also verified. Simulation results based on an F16-model illustrate a successful tracking performance of the proposed controller.

This paper discusses domestic problem of waiting hot water for the shower use till it reaches satisfactory temperature, which result a lot of wastage in fresh water. The outcome from research survey shows that there is no satisfactory solution till now as all solutions were either expensive or with no effective results. Local small inline electric heater equipped with fuzzy logic controller is proposed in this paper to be installed just before the showerhead to measure the water temperature and flow before the showerhead, as control input-variables, and decide the operating voltage of the heater, as control output-variable. Matlab Simulink is used to model the proposed system. Different test cases are simulated to prove the performance and the safe operation of the system. Techno-economic study is carried out to determine the &ldquo;Direct Benefits&rdquo; and &ldquo;Indirect Benefits&rdquo; that can be achieved if such system is implemented in wide range. Azerbaijan data is taken as an example to calculate the economic benefits. The results show important benefits not only for economy but also for climate and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. Different economic indices are provided to be an easy reference for decision makers and project managers.

Oil whip is a self-excited subsynchronous vibration which limits the range of operating speed of journal bearings (JBs). JBs have wide range of applications due to their high loading capacity, simple geometry, and lubrication. When the speed of rotation increases, the oil whip instability is excited with a frequency corresponding to the rotor critical speed which causes excessive undesirable vibration. A solution for this instability is implemented through this paper. The control action is implemented through a new integrated bearing device. The bearing consists of JB and electromagnetic actuator (EMA). The oil whip control action is applied through the EMA. A fuzzy logic control algorithm is developed and experimentally applied to a rotor test rig. The controller is suitable to deal with the problems of uncertainties and nonlinearity. The experimental results show the ability of the developed controller to eliminate the oil whip instability when applied to a test rig which simulates industrial rotor through an integrated bearing prototype which was designed and manufactured.

This paper proposes a high-power LED driver circuit with economical high power factor based on universal chip NCP1200. NCP1200 itself doesn’t have the function of APFC, however, by adding a simple amplitude control circuit in the periphery without using special dedicated APFC chip, the APFC rectification mode can be achieved at work, which greatly reduce the pulse current caused by first-time rectification, the power factor can be as high as 98%, and it can achieve the goal of constant current drive in the meantime. The designed circuit is simple, low cost, stable and reliable work ability and it has high cost performance.

A novel digital constant output current controller with demagnetization-time compensation for flyback converter is proposed in this paper. The secondary winding demagnetization time [Formula: see text] is sampled from the comparison module output signal by output voltage sampling state machine. The ratio between [Formula: see text] and switching period [Formula: see text] is kept constant by bidirectional counter module to achieve constant output current based on invariable primary-side peak-current. Meanwhile, demagnetization-time compensation is proposed in order to enhance load regulation ratio. The compensation [Formula: see text] acquired from a look-up table, is utilized to compensate the impacts caused by the delay [Formula: see text] from the process of sampling the signal of [Formula: see text]. The digital controller (DC) is implemented by hardware description language Verilog HDL. Experimental results of the proposed 2A constant current output flyback converter based on FPGA(EP2C8Q208C8N) indicate that the constant current precision is within [Formula: see text]1% in a wide range of universal-input AC voltage from 110[Formula: see text]V to 240[Formula: see text]V and the voltage load range between 2[Formula: see text]V and 8[Formula: see text]V.
