scholarly journals Disturbance Compensation in Fuzzy Logic Control of Level in Carbonisation Column for Soda Production

The intelligent approaches emerge as leading techniques in providing of stable and high performance control of industrial plants with nonlinearity, model uncertainty, variables coupling and disturbances. In the present research a novel approach for the design of a nonlinear model-free fuzzy logic controller (FLC) with two inputs – the system error and the main measurable disturbance and a rule base for disturbance compensation is suggested. It is based on off-line parameter optimisation via genetic algorithms. The approach is applied for the development of a FLC for the control of the level of ammonia brine solution in a carbonisation column with compensation of the changes in the inflow pressure. The control algorithm is implemented in a general purpose industrial programmable logic controller in ”Solvay Sodi” SA – Devnya, Bulgaria. The FLC system with disturbance compensation outperforms in an increased dynamic accuracy the FLC with the system error as a single input even when linear feedforward disturbance compensation is added. The performance of all systems is assessed from the real time control and the simulations based on a derived TSK plant model.

The main objective of this paper is to prove the great advantage that brings our novel approach to the intelligent control area. A set of various types of intelligent controllers have been designed to control the temperature of a room in a real-time control process in order to compare the obtained results with each other. Through a training board that allows us to control the temperature, all the used algorithms should present their best performances in this control process; therefore, our self-organized and online adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC) will be required to present great improvements in the control task and a real high control performance. Simulation results can show clearly that the new approach presented and tested in this work is very efficient. Thus, our adaptive and self-organizing FLC presents the best accuracy compared with the remaining used controllers, and, besides that, it can guarantee an important reduction of the power consumption during the control process.

For amelioration of tracking efficiency, the Maximum power point trackers (MPPT) are very important for photovoltaic (PV) generation. For this purpose here a reformed adaptive fuzzy logic control (FLC) MPPT tracker has been presented to enhance its overall power efficiency and gives rapid transient response under changing weather conditions. For voltage regulation at load bus, the zeta buck-boost converter has been taken for its least voltage ripple. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation environment and dSPACE DS1104 real time control board is used to test the proposed adaptive fuzzy logic controller based MPPT in variable irradiance level and ambient tempera-ture. The tracking efficiency in this presented method is analyzed in comparison with standard fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb and observe (P and O) MPPT algorithms. The modified AFLC controller gives better tracking efficiency and precise response compared to conventional fuzzy logic controller and P and O MPPT algorithms. Theoretical and experimental results obtained are demonstrated for improved functioning of the system.

Any real-time control application run by a digital computer (or any sequential machine) demands a very fast processor in order to make the time-lag from data sensing to issuance of a control action closest to zero. In some instances, the algorithm used requires a relatively large primary memory which is crucial especially when implemented in a microcontroller. This paper presents a novel implementation of a multi-output fuzzy controller (which is known in this paper as MultiOFuz), which utilizes lesser memory and executes faster than a type of an existing multiple single-output fuzzy logic controllers. The design and implementation of the developed controller employed the object-oriented approach with program level code optimizations. MultiOFuz is a reusable software component and the simplicity of how to interface this to control applications is presented. Comparative analyses of algorithms, memory usage and simulations are presented to support our claim of increased efficiency in both execution time and storage use. Future directions of MultiOFuz are also discussed.

Analytical studies on the dynamic performance of variable displacement swash plate axial piston pumps show that the pump performance can significantly improved by replacing the conventional PD process controller with fuzzy logic controller. Electrically controlled, constant power regulated, swash plate pumps with conical cylinder blocks have been recently extensively studied. Comparative study has been carried out to compare the pump dynamic performance when the conventional PD process controller is replaced by a proposed fuzzy logic one. The study reveals some superior performance characteristics when fuzzy logic controller is used. In the present study an experimental setup is built to measure the dynamic performance of a typical 9-piston pump that has conical shaped cylinder block. The pump is of 40 cc/rev geometrical size, type A4VSO, that is manufactured by Rexroth. The experimental setup consists of a hydraulic test bed interfaced with real time control and data acquisition system. The setup is used firstly for testing the pump static characteristics. Subsequently, the setup is used to measure the time response of the pump, which is equipped with the conventional PD controller, to the stepwise changes in the load pressure. Pump model verification is then discussed based on the comparison between the theoretical and experimental results. The pump is afterwards interfaced with real time control software for prototyping the proposed fuzzy logic controller that replaces the currently used PD one. With the fuzzy logic control, measuring the pump time response under the same loading conditions is repeated. Experimental results are presented, compared with the analytical findings and discussed.

Abstract This paper is concerned with improving the performance of a vibration neutraliser (absorber) by making it adaptive. To achieve this, the stiffness and damping of the device has to be controlled so that the impedance of the neutraliser is optimised at its operational frequency. The results of an experimental study are presented where real-time control of such a device is demonstrated. The stiffness is adjusted by changing the geometry, and damping is controlled with a velocity feedback system. Both these actions are achieved using a fuzzy logic controller.
