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...

In this paper, a method is introduced which reduces the harmonicdistortion of the inverter output current, connecting the fuelcell to the AC load. Using FUZZY LOGIC-PI (FLPI), the controllingmethod is engaged in optimum tuning of the PI controllercoefficients of this converter. This converter has only one DC-ACboost inverter and simultaneously has the task of increasingvoltage level and generat...

This paper presents a self-tuning optimal PI (Proportional-Integral) rate controller for end-to-end congestion in the IP-based Internet. We employ LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator) approach from modern control theory in the optimal controller design that would allow the user to achieve good transient performance of IP networks by selecting proper positive definite matrices Q and R. Self-tuning P...

Ziegler-Nichols tuned PI and PID controllers are usually found to provide poor performances for high-order and nonlinear systems. In this study, an improved auto-tuning scheme is presented for Ziegler-Nichols tuned PI controllers (ZNPICs). With a view to improving the transient response, the proportional and integral gains of the proposed controller are continuously modified based on the curren...

Close formation flight is one of the most complicated problems on multiple Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) coordinated control. This paper proposes a new method to achieve close formation tracking control of multiple UAVs by applying Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based Proportional plus Integral (PI) controller. Due to its simple structure and effectiveness, multi-criteria PI control str...

This paper presents a detailed comparison between a conventional PI controller and a variable structure controller based on a fuzzy sliding mode strategy used for speed control in direct torque control induction motor drive. Genetic algorithms are used to tune the PI controller gains to ensure optimal performance. The performance of the two controllers are investigated and compared for differen...

Recently, interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) are becoming more used due to the powerful magnetic characteristic of the rare earth, being used in different areas. Several researchers have proposed implementations combining the use of IPMSM with the direct torque control (DTC) technique offering a quick and precise control. However, DTC can provide only for torque and flux cont...
