An industrial weigh belt feeder is used to transport solid materials into a manufacturing process at a constant feedrate. It exhibits nonlinear behavior because of motor friction, saturation, and quantization noise in the sensors, which makes standard autotuning methods difficult to implement. This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates two types of fuzzy logic controllers for an indust...

In this paper, a design method for a robust PI/PID controller for fuzzy parametric uncertain systems is proposed. An uncertain Linear Time Invariant (LTI) system with fuzzy coefficients is referred as fuzzy parametric uncertain system. The fuzzy coefficients are approximated by intervals (crisp sets) using the nearest interval approximation approach to obtain an interval system. Further, a robu...

In this paper, a new formula-based fuzzy proportional-integral (FPI) controller is proposed. This controller is based on the conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller. The proposed FPI controller has a linear structure similar to that of the conventional controller, and the operation of the proposed controller is based on analytical formulas. The structure is designed by using three me...

The design of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system plays a vital role in automation of power system. This paper proposes Hybrid Neuro Fuzzy (HNF) approach for AGC of two-area interconnected reheat thermal power system with the consideration of Generation Rate Constraint (GRC). The advantage of proposed controller is that it can handle the system non-linearities and at the same time the pro...

This paper experimentally investigates the control of an industry based shell and tube heat exchanger. The hot fluid outlet temperature in the shell side is maintained by manipulating the cold fluid temperature in the tube side. The Fuzzy Logic based Controller (FLC) has been implemented in a MATLAB environment using cost effective ADAM’s module and compared with the Proportional Integral (PI) ...

This paper presents application of fuzzy logic controller for shunt active power filter to improve power quality in the distribution systems. The main feature of fuzzy logic controller does not require any complex mathematical model of the systems to regulate dc bus capacitor voltage. The reference compensating current has been estimated by unit vector template generation technique. The actual ...

This paper proposes a new adaptive control technique for shunt active power filter (SAPF) by applying the interval type-2 fuzzy controller (IT2FC) in the DC voltage outer loop. This adaptive method achieved the main control objectives and compensated the active filter parameters uncertainties besides the unbalanced loads compensation without neutral wire. The interval type-2 fuzzy controller (I...
