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...

This paper presents approaches to the design of a hybrid fuzzy logic proportional plus conventional integralderivative (fuzzy P+ID) controller in an incremental form. This controller is constructed by using an incremental fuzzy logic controller in place of the proportional term in a conventional PID controller. By using the bounded-input/bounded-output “small gain theorem,” the sufficient condi...

This study develops a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) based on a variable boundary layer. A fuzzy inference mechanism is used to on-line tune the thickness of the boundary layers of the controller. Minimum rule base has been used for the fuzzy inference system which results in low calculation effort. The aim of this paper is to design a controller which will eliminate the chattering of FSM...

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...

*MIC College of Technology, Kanchikacherla ,Vijayawada ______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: During the last decade a new control method called DTC (Direct torque control) has been developed for electrical machines with conventional PI controller. The conventional PI controller is slow in adapting to speed changes, load disturbances and...

In this research a generalization of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy controllers is presented. In this generalization all or some of the inputs of the fuzzy controllers are fuzzy numbers. Also, it is proved that this generalization is well defined, which means that if the inputs of a generalized Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy controller are singleton fuzzy sets, then the generalized Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy controller wil...

This paper proposes Fuzzy Logic Based STATCOM. It regulates the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) by injecting reactive power. This device also plays a vital role in enhancing stability for small and large transient disturbances in power system. Simulations using MATLAB / SIMULINK are carried out to verify the performance of STATCOM using fuzzy controller. The result shows that fuzz...

A systematic procedure for developing the unified signal flow graph model of a fuzzy PI controller is presented in this paper. From this unified model it is possible to determine the complete behavior of the Fuzzy PI controller. As a first step in constructing the signal flow graph the analytical structures oflinear fuzzy PI controller are needed. In view of this by considering triangular/trape...

Recently, there has been extensive work on the construction of fuzzy controllers for mobile robots by a genetic algorithm (GA); therefore, we can realize evolutionary optimization as a promising method for developing fuzzy controllers. However, much investigation on the evolutionary fuzzy controller remains because most of the previous works have not seriously attempted to analyze the fuzzy con...

This paper deals with the design of a fuzzy PID Controller (FPIDC) with dynamic gain through a fuzzy scheme. The gain factor of Proportional, Integral and Derivative is varied according to process of the proposed dead time. FPIDC is modified which depends on the normalized change of error of the controlled variable (ec) and its number of fuzzy partitions. The proposed scheme is tested for a wid...
