An Advanced Neuro-Fuzzy Tuned PID Controller for Pitch Control of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Pitch Control Using Hybrid Pid-Fuzzy Controller

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is inherently an unstable system and this necessitated the need of an external controller to stabilize and to control it. In this paper presents the exploration into the simulation, design and analysis of two autopilot schemes: (1) a fuzzy-PID controller and, (2) hybrid PID-Fuzzy controller for controlling pitch plane dynamics of an aircraft. The modeled fuzzy logi...

Discrete-time Control Stategies for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

This paper introduces two discrete-time controllers for horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs): a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) one and a model predictive (MPC) one. The LQG controller aims to strongly attenuate the disturbances influence on the system output. The control objective consists of keeping the output power constant, despite the wind variation, and thus reducing the fatigue that inv...

Designing a fuzzy PI^lambda controller to control the pitch angle in wind turbines under variant speed

One of the main tasks of the control systems in the wind turbines is to maintain the power of the wind when its wind speed proceed its nominal value. Because the failure to maintain the power in its nominal value in the region of the turbine curve damages the turbine and increases the mechanical stress. This object is obtained by controlling the pitch angle in the third region of the turbine cu...

Level Control in Horizontal Tank by Fuzzy-PID Cascade Controller

The paper describes the Fuzzy–PID cascade controller to control the level of horizontal tank that has diameter 300 mm and 480 mm long. Interface card module PCI-6024E in computer and Lab View software program is used for built the cascade controller. Structure of its where the inner loop is a PID controller for regulating flow rate of system and outer loop is a Fuzzy logic controller for contro...
