Recently, interest in microgrids, which are composed of distributed generation (DG), distributed storage (DS), and loads, has been growing as a potentially effective clean energy system to mitigate against climate change. The microgrid is operated in the grid-connected mode and the islanded mode according to the conditions of the upstream power grid. The role of the energy storage system (ESS) ...

This paper presents a performance based comparative study of various fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) to control the speed of squirrel-cage induction motor (SCIM) by replacing the conventional proportional??integral (PI) controller. The fuzzy logic based controller does not require any identification of motor dynamic to control its speed and also assures the disturbance rejection with high robust...

Usage of flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is a common method for frequency regulation due to its high power injection capacity and long life time. FESS is equipped by two back-to-back inverters including grid-side inverter and machine-side inverter. In conventional method, the machine-side inverter sets the active power and machine flux while grid-side inverter sets the reactive power and ...

This chapter describes the design of controllers for the ideal CSTR using soft computing techniques namely, genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to obtain the optimal PI controller parameters for each operating region using GA technique. GA based PI implements the characteristics of global optimization to optimize the PI control parameters Kp and Ki to pr...

This paper presents a comparative study between an adaptive fuzzy controller and an adaptive selftuning controller with application to excitation control of a synchronous generator. The adaptive self-tuning controller is based on a dual action, obviously on control input, and also on reference signal. The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller includes a mechanism to adapt one of the tuning paramet...

The paper presents the theory of control systems for electrical drives based on fuzzy logic, from the author’s point of view. The paper offers practical answers at questions related to the design of speed control systems based on fuzzy PI speed controller: what is the adequate structure of fuzzy controller, the number of rules fuzzy values, how to assure stability, implementation, control syste...

This paper presents a hybrid wavelet-fuzzy based multiresolution (MR) controller for robust speed control of induction motor. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to decompose the error between the actual speed and command speed of the induction motor drive in to different frequency components. A self-tuning fuzzy logic is used for online tuning of the controller parameters. The propose...

A variable structure slip control strategy is developed for grasping objects by a robot end-effector. A hybrid controller comprised of a fuzzy controller and a PI controller is designed to perform the strategy. When a grasped object is slipped by an external force as a disturbance, the applied fingertip force is rapidly increased to stop sliding and then decreased to a reliable limit to hold th...

This paper proposes a new adaptive control technique for shunt active power filter (SAPF) by applying the interval type-2 fuzzy controller (IT2FC) in the DC voltage outer loop. This adaptive method achieved the main control objectives and compensated the active filter parameters uncertainties besides the unbalanced loads compensation without neutral wire. The interval type-2 fuzzy controller (I...
