Type-2 fuzzy sets, which are characterized by membership functions (MFs) that are themselves fuzzy, have been attracting interest. This paper focuses on advancing the understanding of interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). First, a type-2 FLC is evolved using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The type-2 FLC is then compared with another three GA evolved type-1 FLCs that have different design p...

Uncertainty is an inherent part in controllers used for real-world applications. The use of new methods for handling incomplete information is of fundamental importance in engineering applications. We simulated the effects of uncertainty produced by the instrumentation elements in type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic controllers to perform a comparative analysis of the systems’ response, in the presen...

In interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers (IT2-FLCs), the output processing includes type reduction and defuzzification. Recently, researchers have proposed many efficient type reduction algorithms, but there are no effective schemes to improve the output of defuzzification. This paper presents a geneticalgorithm-based type reduction algorithm, which reduces the type of an interval type-2 fuzz...

osting by E Abstract Direct adaptive fuzzy controller is a class of adaptive fuzzy controllers which use fuzzy logic system (FLS) as controller. Interval type-2 fuzzy sets are able to model and minimize the numerical and linguistic uncertainties associated with the inputs and outputs of fuzzy logic controller (FLC). In this paper, a direct adaptive interval type-2 FLC is proposed for controllin...

This work introduces an embedded small indoor helicopter heading controller based on fuzzy logic. The work addresses the problem of system identification when implementing a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang type fuzzy logic controller. Instead of identifying the system formally beforehand, the fuzzy controllers consequent parameters are learned using a Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System with data collected from an...

Frequency control is one of the key parts for the arrangement of the performance of a microgrid (MG) system. Theoretically, model-based controllers may be the ideal control mechanisms; however, they are highly sensitive to model uncertainties and have difficulty with preserving robustness. The presence of serious disturbances, the increasing number of MG, varying voltage supplies of MGs, and bo...
