In the present investigation, an optimization algorithm inspired by nature is used for the fine-tuning of the parameters of a fuzzy controller used for the vibration suppression of a smart composite plate. More specifically, the particle swarm optimization method is chosen. This method is a population based optimization algorithm. It is a totally stochastic technique that simulates the movement...

This paper compares the heuristic Global Search Techniques; Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization, Simulated Annealing, Generalized Pattern Search, genetic algorithm hybridized with Nelder–Mead and Generalized pattern search technique for tuning of fuzzy PID controller for Puma 560. Since the actual control is in joint space ,inverse kinematics is used to generate various joint angles ...

The VHDL-AMS based genetic optimization of fuzzy logic controller for movement control systems is discussed here. The designs have been carried out in the digital domain with HDL. The basic components of the fuzzy logic controller are designed using VHDL-AMS. The proposed work focuses on control of speed with respect to input parameter such as Alignment & distance with triangular membership fun...

The speed profile of the train will be determined according to criteria such as safety, travel convenience, and the type of electric motor used for traction. Due to the passengers and cargo on the train, the electric train load is constantly changing. This will require reassigning the speed controller’s parameters of the electric train. For this purpose, the Gravitational Search optimization Al...

In general, the primary aim of polymerization industry is to enhance the process operation in order to obtain high quality and purity product. However, a sudden and large amount of heat will be released rapidly during the mixing process of two reactants, i.e. phenol and formalin due to its exothermic behavior. The unpredictable heat will cause deviation of process temperature and hence affect t...

The advantage of fuzzy controllers in working with inaccurate and nonlinear inputs is that there no need for an accurate mathematical model fast convergence minimal fluctuations the maximum power point detector. capability online tracking systems power, resistance to radiation temperature changes, external sensors measure intensity temperature. However, most important issue constant changes amo...

In the interconnected power system network, instability problems are caused mainly by the low frequency oscillations of 0.2 to 2.5 Hz .The supplementary control signal in addition with AVR and high gain excitation systems are provided by means of Power System Stabilizer (PSS). Conventional power system stabilizers provide effective damping only on a particular operating point. But fuzzy based P...

This Paper Presents A Method Of Obtaining Optimal Pi Gains For A Fuzzy-Pi Controller To Control The Frequency Of Micro Hydro Power Plant (Mhpp).Conventional Control Techniques Such As Proportional, Integral And Derivative (Pid) Controllers Have Been Used As Controllers To Control The Frequency Of Mhpp, But These Controllers Attain Poor Control Performances, Such As High Overshoots And Long Sett...
