The design of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system plays a vital role in automation of power system. This paper proposes Hybrid Neuro Fuzzy (HNF) approach for AGC of two-area interconnected reheat thermal power system with the consideration of Generation Rate Constraint (GRC). The advantage of proposed controller is that it can handle the system non-linearities and at the same time the pro...

In this paper, the position control of a detuned indirect field oriented control (IFOC) induction motor servo drive is studied. A PID-fuzzy logic position controller (PID-FLPC) is designed and analyzed to achieve high-dynamic performance both in the position command tracking and load regulation characteristics for robotic applications. The performance of the proposed PID-fuzzy logic and synchro...

The progress of industrial applications of fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) for high performance control of complex, non-linear, time-varying processes, sets demands for their design – to be laid on theoretical grounds, to be general and simple, to bind together system robustness, stability and performance in the design objective as a guarantee for practical feasibility. The aim of this investiga...

Received Mar 12, 2014 Revised May 21, 2014 Accepted Jun 20, 2014 In this paper, decouple PI control for output active and reactive powers which is the common control technique for power converter of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is presented. But there are some disadvantages with this control method like uncertainty about the exact model, behavior of some parameters or unpredictable win...

A novel speed controller for the trapezoidal three–phase Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Drive is proposed using a hybrid fuzzy logic/proportional plus integral (PI) control. The structure of the fuzzy logic controller is different from conventional fuzzy logic implementations such that it only uses three simple rules based on speed error being either in the positive, negative or zero regions. The co...

This paper investigates the comparative analysis of a Hybrid Active Power Filter with PI based SVPWM controller and fuzzy based space vector PWM controller for mitigating the harmonics, improving the power factor and increasing the distribution power of the three phase distribution system. This paper concluded that the power conditioning by fuzzy based SVPWM hybrid active power filter is superi...

This paper experimentally investigates the control of an industry based shell and tube heat exchanger. The hot fluid outlet temperature in the shell side is maintained by manipulating the cold fluid temperature in the tube side. The Fuzzy Logic based Controller (FLC) has been implemented in a MATLAB environment using cost effective ADAM’s module and compared with the Proportional Integral (PI) ...

The paper addresses design, implementation and simulation of a novel type of softly switched Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy PI control system for dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) tracking at wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The proposed control system is designed, including tuning the PI controllers, entirely based on the experimental data. This control system is validated by simulation. Copyright © ...

The article focuses on the issues of Load Frequency Control (LFC) under non-linear strategies in multi source multi area hydro thermal system. On practical perspective dead band, boiler dynamics, reheat steam turbine along with hydro turbine operating under two different area capacities are considered in the system. When subjected to random load variations in both the areas, the system exhibits...

The paper performs the sensitivity analysis with respect to the parametric variations of the controlled plant in the case of low cost fuzzy control systems dedicated to servo systems, with focus on solving the tracking control problem for a class of wheeled mobile robots with two degrees of freedom used in mining technologies. A new development method for Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controllers is p...
