During the past decades, fuzzy logic control (FLC) has been one of the most active and fruitful areas for research in the application of fuzzy set theory. It has has been an active research topic in automation and control theory, since the work of Mamdani proposed in 1974 based on the fuzzy sets theory of Zadeh (1965), to deal with the system control problems which is not easy to be modeled [Ma...

In this paper, we design an image tracking system which is composed of two cameras and two stepping motors. First, The image pair of a moving target is grabbed by two cameras continuously. The horizontal and vertical distances between both centers of this moving target and the image can be determined by using image processing methods. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic controller pair is designed to co...

* Department of Teacher Training in Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technical Education, King’s Mongkut Institute of Technology North Bangkok. Abstract This paper describes fuzzy sliding-mode control (FSMC), a fuzzy logic control based upon variable structure techniques. A variable structure approach is designed with guaranteed stability properties. A ball and beam system is used here as an ...

Removal efficiency of COD, NH4-N and PO4-P and NO3-N in five step SBR processes is widely influenced by hydraulic retention time of Anaerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic/Anoxic/Aerobic step of this system where the hydraulic retention time in each step is influence directly on removal efficiency of this system therefore the operator of this system cannot control on this system without experience or a contro...

In this paper a rewiev and a critical analysis of various, soft computing based, approximate reasoning methods is given, studied in the Phd thesis of the author. Since Mamdani first implemented a fuzzy logic controller it has also gone trough substantial theoretical developments and serious discussions about place of this method in theory of computational rule of inference. The paper gives a re...

Because of extreme local saturation at pole tips of excited phase and uncircular shape of rotor and stator, a Swithed Reluctance Motor (SRM) does not have a simple and accurate mathematical model. Therefore, the output control of this motor requires a robust controller which is not based on an accurate model of the process. Fuzzy controllers, to some extent, will satisfy these requirements. Tet...

Fuzzy logic or fuzzy set theory is recently getting increasing emphasis in process control applications. This paper presents an application of fuzzy logic control (FLC) for switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed. The (FLC) technique finds its stronger justification in the utilization of a robust control law to model uncertainties. A fuzzy logic controller of the motor speed is then designed and ...

This paper discusses the implementation of a fuzzy logic based coordinated voltage control for a distribution system connected with distributed generations (DGs). The connection of DGs has created a challenge for the distribution network operators to keep the voltage in the system within its acceptable limits. Intelligent centralized or coordinated voltage control schemes have proven to be more...

Navigation of autonomous mobile robots in dynamic and unknown environments needs to take into account different kinds of uncertainties. Type-1 fuzzy logic research has been largely used in the control of mobile robots. However, type-1 fuzzy control presents limitations in handling those uncertainties as it uses precise fuzzy sets. Indeed type-1 fuzzy sets cannot deal with linguistic and numeric...

This paper presents a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) using fuzzy logic for a PV grid connected system. Since the PV array characteristic is hardly nonlinear, conventional control technics could be inefficient for an optimal use of these systems. Knowing that PV systems are still very expensive, therefore a fuzzy logic controller is proposed to ensure the transfer of the maximam power to the...
