Fuzzy Logic Model for the Performance Benchmarking of Sugar Plants by considering Best Available Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the problem of performance benchmarking of industrial plants by considering Best Available Techniques (BAT), as determined by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive. A Fuzzy Logic Model, based on fuzzy set theory, was constructed for this purpose, in order to compare the performance of plants within a sector’s best standards, as expressed in the Reference Document on BAT. The effectiveness of the model was tested in the case study, in which three sugar plants were benchmarked against the BAT.

متن کاملType-2 fuzzy logic based pitch angle controller for fixed speed wind energy system
In this paper, an interval Type-2 fuzzy logic based pitch angle controller is proposed for fixed speed wind energy system (WES) to maintain the aerodynamic power at its rated value. The pitch angle reference is generated by the proposed controller which can compensate the non-linear characteristics of the pitch angle to the wind speed. The presence of third dimension in the Type-2 fuzzy logic c...
