Self-tuning fuzzy PID controller for integrating processes
Dharmana Simhachalam, Rajani Kanta Mudi · 2014
We propose a self-tuning fuzzy PID controller (STFPIDC) for integrating process with dead time whose output scaling factor (SF) is continuously adjusted in each sampling instant by a non-fuzzy gain modifying factor γ, which is defined on the sign of error and change of error of the controlled variable, and the number of their uniform fuzzy partitions. Performance of the proposed controller is studied for various integrating processes with dead-time under both setpoint change and load disturbance. Performance comparisons with other FLCs are provided in terms of various performance indices along with transient responses. Simulated results justify the effectiveness of the proposed STFPIDC.
