This paper designs a fuzzy logic controller to suppress the vibrations of a large space antenna-like ground experimental structure located at the JPL/AFPL Large Spacecraft Control Laboratory. This fuzzy logic controller provides a simple, yet robust, means to the vibration control of a highly uncertain structural system.

In this paper, a PID fuzzy controller structure is presented. To be successful in implementing fuzzy PID controllers in large applications we must also considered their operating principles. Fuzzy logic controllers are based on empirical control rules. A study case for the validation of the proposed tunning mechanism is presented and analyzed with control application for a synchronous generator...

Chu spaces, which derive from the Chu construct of ∗-autonomous categories, can be used to represent most mathematical structures. Moreover, the logic of Chu spaces is linear logic. Most efforts to incorporate fuzzy set theory into the realm of linear logic are based on the assumption that fuzzy and linear negation are identical operations. We propose an incorporation based on the opposite assu...

The paper presents generalizations of results on so-called Horn logic, well-known in universal algebra, to the setting of fuzzy logic. The theories we consider consist of formulas which are implications between identities (equations) with premises weighted by truth degrees. We adopt Pavelka style: theories are fuzzy sets of formulas and we consider degrees of provability of formulas from theori...

This paper addresses the design procedure of a fuzzy logic-based adaptive approach for DFIGs to enhance automatic generation control (AGC) capabilities and provide better dynamic responses in multi-area power systems. In doing so, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is employed in DFIG structure to control the governor speed of wind turbine. At the first stage, the adjustable parameters of ...

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...

The present paper focuses on using fuzzy logic as a useful tool to manage energy resources in buildings and to reduce their energy impact. To that purpose, one requires the design and the implementation of efficient and readily adaptable control schemes. As everyone knows, fuzzy logic allows taking advantage of the flexibility offered by linguistic reasoning. With this kind of approaches, both ...

In this paper, a parallel structure of fuzzy PID control systems is proposed. It is associated with a new tuning method which, based on gain margin and phase margin speci"cations, determines the parameters of the fuzzy PID controller. In comparison with conventional PID controllers, the proposed fuzzy PID controller shows higher control gains when system states are away from equilibrium and, at...
