In photovoltaic(PV) system, for obtaining maximum efficiency of solar power systems, the solar tracking system must be controlled to match position of the sun. In this paper, we design the solar tracking system to track movement of the sun using CdS sensor modules and to determine direction of the sun under shadow of directions. In addition, for an intelligent computation in tracking of the sun, a fuzzy controller is allocated to space avaliable for splitting area of fuzzy part for the fuzzy input space(grid-type fuzzy partition) in which a fuzzy grid partition divides fuzzy rules bases. As well, a simple model of solar tracking system is designed by two-axis motor control systems and the 8-direction sensor module that can measure shadow from CdS sensor modules by matching of axis of CdS modules and PV panels. We demonstrate this systems is effective for fixed location and moving vessels and our fuzzy controller can track the satisfactorily.

This paper presents derived a calculating form of fuzzy inference, based on decomposition of $\alpha$-level sets. Based on the calculating form it is propose that fuzzy logic circuits of PI+PD controller are a body from fuzzy inference to defuzzificaion in cases where the command variable u directly is generated PWM. The effect of quantization on $\alpha$-levels is investigated. with input/out characteristics of fuzzy controller by simulation. It is concluded that 4 quantization levels are sufficient result for fuzzy control performance of DC servo system. Simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the hardware implementation of the proposed controller can successfully provide good performance on the position control of DC servo system.

A new fuzzy control algorithm for the control of active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems is proposed in th~sp aper. It combines PDC algorithm based on the LMI design of Joh et al. [4,5] and Mamdani-type control rules using fuzzy singletons to handle the nonlinear characteristics of AMB systems efficiently. They are named fine mode control and coarse mode control, respectively. The coarse mode control yields fast response for large deviation of the rotor and the fine mode control gives desired transient response for small deviation of the rotor. The proposed algorithm is applied to an AMB system to verify the performance of the proposed method. The comparison of the proposed method with a linear controller using a linearized model about the equilibrium point and the PDC algorithm show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 초정밀 위치 결정 시스템에서 보다 정확한 제어를 위한 새로운 제어기를 설계한다. 외란을 고려한 시스템의 경우, 환경이 달라질 때마다 측정 노이즈를 정확하게 알아내기란 쉽지 않다. 따라서 측정 장치의 정확성을 나타낼 수 있도록 칼만 필터추정기와 퍼지 이론을 이용하여 정확한 측정 오차값을 구한다. 이때, 파라미터 불확실성과 의란에 강인한 제어를 위해 슬라이딩 모드 제어기와 LQ 최적 제어기가 적용된다. 최종적으로, 제안된 제어기와 시간 최적 제어기의 성능비교를 통하여 보다 강인하고 안정된 성능개선을 증명한다.

In this paper, we propose a two-input two-output fuzzy controller to improve the performance of transient response and to eliminate the steady state error. The outputs of this controller are the control input calculated by position-type fuzzy controller and the accumulated error scaling factor. Here, the accumulated error scaling factor is adjusted on-line by fuzzy rules according to the current trend of the controlled process. To show the usefulness of the proposed controller, it is applied to several systems that are difficult to get satisfactory response by conventional PD controllers or PI controllers.

This paper proposes the hybrid fuzzy control system for fast response time and precision control of auto-equipment which exist disturbance, parameter alteration of system, uncertainty. The purposed system, which provides the improvement in terms of the control region in high speed and precision control, first used the fuzzy control method for fast response time and when the error reaches the preset value, used the frequency-locked method for precision control. The theoretical and experimental studies have been carried out. The presented results from the above investigation show considerably improved performance in the position control of auto-equipment.

A new robust load-frequency control methodology is proposed for nonlinear power systems with valve position limits of the governor in the presence of parametric uncertaines. The TSK fuzzy model is adopted and formulated for fuzzy modeling of the nonlinear power system. A sufficient condition of the robust stabilitry is presented in the sense of lyapunov for the TSK model with parametric uncertainties. The intekkigent digital redesign technique for the uncertain power systems is also studied. The effectiveness of the robust digital fuzzy controller disign mothod is demonstrated through a numerical simulation.

This paper presents the moving object tracking method using vision system. In order to track object in real time, the image of moving object have to be located the origin of the image coordinate axes. Accordingly, Fuzzy Control System is investigated for tracking the moving object, which control the camera module with Pan/Tilt mechanism. Hereafter, so the this system is applied to mobile robot, we design and implement image processing board for vision system. Also fuzzy controller is implemented to the StrongArm board. Finally, the proposed fuzzy controller is useful for the real-time moving object tracking system by experiment.

In this paper, we present the model-based fuzzy controller for container cranes which effectively performs set-point tracking control of trolley and anti-swaying control under system parameter and disturbance changes. The first part of this paper focuses on the development of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modeling in a nonlinear container crane system. Parameters of the membership functions are adjusted by a RCGA to have same dynamic characteristics with nonlinear model of a container crane. In the second part, we present a design methodology of the model-based fuzzy controller. Sub-controllers are designed using LQ control theory for each subsystem in fuzzy model and then the proposed controller is performed with the combination of these sub-controllers by fuzzy IF-THEN rules. In the results of simulation, the fuzzy model showed almost similar dynamic characteristics compared to the outputs of the nonlinear container crane model. Also, the model-based fuzzy controller showed not only the fast settling time for the change in parameter and disturbance, but also stable and robust control performances without any steady-state error.

In this paper, we propose the design of an optimized fuzzy cascade controller for rotary inverted pendulum system by means of Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Genetic Algorithms (HFCGA) which is a kind of parallel genetic algorithms. The rotary inverted pendulum system is the system for controlling the inclination of pendulum axis through the adjustment of rotating arm. The control objective of the system is to control the position of rotating arm and to make the pendulum maintain the unstable equilibrium point of vertical position. To control rotary inverted pendulum system, we designs the fuzzy cascade controller scheme consisted of two fuzzy controllers and optimizes the parameters of the designed controller by means of HFCGA. A comparative analysis between the simulation and the practical experiment demonstrates that the proposed HFCGA based fuzzy cascade controller leads to superb performance in comparison with the conventional LQR controller as well as HFCGA based PD cascade controller.
