Fuzzy logic controllers (FLC’s) have the following advantages over the conventional controllers: they are cheaper to develop, they cover a wider range of operating conditions, and they are more readily customizable in natural language terms. A self-organizing fuzzy controller can automatically refine an initial approximate set of fuzzy rules. Application of PI-type fuzzy controller increases th...

The design of active noise control has been developed in the last two decades based on linear identification and control tools. However, acoustic processes present nonlinearities coming both from the characteristics of the actuator and from the nature of the process. Recent research has emphasized the importance of nonlinear model-based controllers, which increase the performance of several typ...

The paper presents a short review of some main properties of the most general fuzzy systems used in a large class of practical applications. The fuzzy systems, implemented using different rule bases, fuzzy values, membership functions, fuzzyfication and defuzzification methods, may be classified based on these fuzzy methods used in their development. This paper proposes a unitary theory for des...

In this paper, the designed schemes for two fuzzy controllers, Mamdani fuzzy controller and Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy controller, through the scaling factor adaptation are proposed. The proposed adaptation laws for the output scaling factor, which respectively result from the direct adaptive approach, are used to appropriately determine the control signal of the fuzzy controllers. The great advantage...

The paper proposes a development method for PI-fuzzy controllers of Mamdani-type and of Takagi-Sugeno-type meant for two classes of second-order systems. The controllers are developed by starting from basic PI controllers tuned in terms of the Extended Symmetrical Optimum method, followed by applying the modal equivalences principle resulting in useful development steps. The developed fuzzy con...

This paper presents an approach for designing a fuzzy logic-based adaptive SVC damping In controller for damping low frequency power oscillations. Power systems are often subject to low Frequency electro-mechanical oscillations resulting from electrical disturbances. Generally, power system stabilizers are designed to provide damping against this kind of oscillations. Another means to achieve d...

We introduce a novel and robust active queue management (AQM) scheme based on a fuzzy controller, called hybrid fuzzy-PID controller. In the TCP network, AQM is important to regulate the queue length by passing or dropping the packets at the intermediate routers. RED, PI, and PID algorithms have been used for AQM. But these algorithms show weaknesses in the detection and control of congestion u...

After the development of fuzzy logic, an important application of it was developed in control systems and it is known as fuzzy PID controllers. They represent interest in order to be applied in practical applications instead of the linear PID controllers, in the feedback control of a variety of processes, due to their advantages imposed by the non-linear behavior. The design of fuzzy PID contro...

The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is one of the recently developed Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. In this paper, the SSSC is realized using a 48-pulse voltage source inverter. Fuzzy logic controllers are designed to operate the SSSC in the automatic power flow control mode. The parameters of the fuzzy controllers are varied widely by a suitable choice of members...
