Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising clear and efficient new energy sources. An excellent control system is a normal working prerequisite for maintaining a fuel cell system in correct operating conditions. Conventional controllers could not satisfy the high performance to obtain the acceptable responses because of uncertainty, time-change, nonlinear, long-hysteresis and st...

today, dc motors is still being used globally due to their easy speed controllability. in this article, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) controller is designed for dc motors. the main purpose of performing such task is to reduce the dc motor starting current and deleting the ripple current during starting time in considering control parameters such as: rise time, settling time, ...

An adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed from a set of fuzzy IF-THEN rules whose parameters are adjusted on-line according to some adaptation law for the purpose of controlling the plant to track a given-trajectory. In this paper, two adaptive fuzzy controllers are designed based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach. We require that the final closed-loop system must be globally stable in the s...

Distillation is an essential separation process in the chemical and petrochemical industry. The distillation process is a highly nonlinear, complex, interactive and non -stationary, therefore its control is difficult. In the present work an adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller is designed to control a binary distillation process. A conventional PID controller is also designed for comparison purpose....

This paper proposes a method of maximum power point tracking using adaptive fuzzy logic control for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The system is composed of a boost converter and a single-phase inverter connected to a utility grid. The maximum power point tracking control is based on adaptive fuzzy logic to control a switch of a boost converter. Adaptive fuzzy logic controllers provide at...

The main drawback of "classical" fuzzy systems is the inability to design and maintain their database. To overcome this disadvantage many types of extensions adding the adaptivity property to those systems were designed. This paper deals with one of them a new hybrid adaptation structure, called gradient-incremental adaptive fuzzy controller connecting gradient-descent methods with the so-calle...

An adaptive fuzzy control system with supervisory controller is proposed to improve dynamic performance of three-phase active power filter APF . The proposed adaptive fuzzy controller for APF does not build an accuratemathematical model but approximates the nonlinear characteristics of APF using fuzzy approximation. The adaptive law based on the Lyapunov analysis can adaptively adjust the fuzzy...

This paper proposes a novel robust adaptive fuzzy controller for uncertain nonlinear systems with external disturbance. At first, the definitions of compressor and limiter with adjustable parameters are described, an adaptive fuzzy controller with updated laws of the parameters in compressor and estimate values of the fuzzy approximation accuracies is introduced. It is do not need special atten...

This paper illustrates a Comparative study of highly non-linear, complex and multivariable Inverted Pendulum (IP) system on Cart using different soft computing techniques. Firstly, a Fuzzy logic controller was designed using triangular and trapezoidal shape Membership functions (MF's). The trapezoidal fuzzy controller shows better results in comparison to triangular fuzzy controller. Secondly, ...

An adaptive fuzzy PID controller with gain scheduling is proposed in this paper. The structure of the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy PID (GS FPID) controller consists of both fuzzy PI-like controller and fuzzy PD-like controller. Both of fuzzy PIlike and PD-like controllers are weighted through adaptive gain scheduling, which are also determined by fuzzy logic inference. A modified genetic algor...
