Nowadays fuzzy logic in control applications is a well-recognized alternative, and this is thanks to its inherent advantages. Generalized type-2 fuzzy sets allow for a third dimension to capture higher order uncertainty and therefore offer a very powerful model for uncertainty handling in real world applications. With the recent advances that allowed the performance of general type-2 fuzzy logic controllers to increase, it is now expected to see the widespread of type-2 fuzzy logic controllers to many challenging applications in particular in problems of structural control, that is the case study in this paper. It should be highlighted that this is the first application of general type-2 fuzzy approach in civil structures. In the following, general type-2 fuzzy logic controller (GT2FLC) will be used for active control of a 9-story nonlinear benchmark building. The design of type-1 and interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers is also considered for the purpose of comparison with the GT2FLC. The performance of the controller is validated through the computer simulation on MATLAB. It is demonstrated that extra design degrees of freedom achieved by GT2FLC, allow a greater potential to better model and handle the uncertainties involved in the nature of earthquakes and control systems. GT2FLC outperforms successfully a control system that uses T1 and IT2 FLCs.

Studies on the control of inverted pendulum type systems have been widely reported. This is because this type of system is a typical complex nonlinear system and may be a good model to verify the performance of a proposed control system. In this paper, we propose the design of two fuzzy logic control systems for the control of a Segway mobile robot which is an inverted pendulum type system. We first introduce a dynamic model of the Segway mobile robot and then analyze the system. We then propose the design of the fuzzy logic control system, which shows good performance for the control of any nonlinear system. In this paper, we here design two fuzzy logic control systems for the position and balance control of the Segway mobile robot. We demonstrate their usefulness through simulation examples. We also note the possibility of simplifying the design process and reducing the computational complexity. This possibility is the result of the skew symmetric property of the fuzzy rule tables of the system.

항공기의 제어 시스템 설계에 있어 두 가지 어려움이 있다. 즉 항공기의 동적 특성이 비선형 특성을 갖고 있고 그 파라미터 값들이 시간 혹은 비행 조건에 따라 변화하는 시변 특성을 갖고 있다는 점이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 고전적인 제어 이론을 활용한 신뢰성 높고 효율적인 제어 기법들이 계속 개발되어 왔으나 정확한 이론적 분석이 수반되지 않으면 항공기의 성능, 강건성, 그리고 안전성조차도 확보하기 어려운 문제점을 갖는다. 이에 최근에는 퍼지 논리, 신경망, 유전자 알고리즘으로 대표되는 지능 제어 기법을 활용한 항공기 제어 시스템 개발이 시도 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 퍼지 논리가 갖고 있는 불확실성에 대한 취약점들을 크게 감소시킬 수 있는 Interval Type-2 퍼지 논리 이론을 기반으로 고속 항공기의 지능형 비행 횡 제어 시스템을 개발하고 컴퓨터 모의실험에 의해 그 효용성을 입증한다.

This paper presents model reference adaptive system speed estimators based on Type-1 and Type-2 fuzzy logic controllers for the speed sensorless direct torque and flux control of an induction motor drive (IMD) using space vector pulse width modulation. A Type-1 fuzzy logic controller (T1FLC) based adaptation mechanism scheme is initially presented to achieve high performance sensorless drive in both transient as well as in steady-state conditions. However, the Type-1 fuzzy sets are certain and cannot work effectively when a higher degree of uncertainties occurs in the system, which can be caused by sudden changes in speed or different load disturbances and, process noise. Therefore, a new Type-2 FLC (T2FLC) - based adaptation mechanism scheme is proposed to better handle the higher degree of uncertainties, improve the performance, and is also robust to different load torque and sudden changes in speed conditions. The detailed performance of different adaptation mechanism schemes are performed in a MATLAB/Simulink environment with a speed sensor and sensorless modes of operation when an IMD is operates under different operating conditions, such as no-load, load, and sudden changes in speed. To validate the different control approaches, the system is also implemented on a real-time system, and adequate results are reported for its validation.

Various inverted pendulum systems have been frequently used as a model for the performance test of the proposed control system. We first identify a rotary-type inverted pendulum system by the Euler-Lagrange method and then design a FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) fur the plant. FLC`s are one of useful control schemes fur plants having difficulties in deriving mathematical models or having performance limitations with conventional linear control schemes. Many FLC`s imitate the concept of conventional PD (Proportional-Derivative) or PI (Proportional-Integral) controller. That is, the error e and the change-of-error are used as antecedent variables and the control input u the change of control input Au is used as its consequent variable for FLC`s. In this paper we design a simple-structured FLC for the rotary inverted pendulum system. We also perform some computer simulations to examine the tracking performance of the closed-loop system.

This study was carried out to develop a nutrient-solution mixing-and-supplying system, which used a low-cost metering device instead of expensive metering pumps and a fuzzy logic controller. A low cost and precise overflow-type metering device was developed and evaluated by testing the flow discharge for the automatic nutrient-solution mixing-and-supplying system for snail-scale hydroponic sewers. The fuzzy logic controllers, which could predict and meet the desired values of EC and supply rate of nutrient solution were developed and verified by simulation and experiment. this fuzzy logic controller, whose algorithm consists of four crisp inputs, two crisp outputs and nine rules, was developed to predict the desired value of EC and supply rate of nutrient solution and two crisp inputs, one crisp output and nine rules used to control EC to the desired values. The nutrient-solution mixing-and-supplying system showed satisfactory EC control performance with the maximum overshooting of 0.035 mS/cm and the maximum settling time of 15 minutes in case of increasing 0.7 mS/cm. also, the accuracy of the overflow-type metering device in terms of the full-scale error was 2.29% when using solenoid valve only and 0.2% when using solenoid valve and flow control valve together.

In this study, we introduce the design methodology of an optimized type-2 fuzzy cascade controller with the aid of hierarchical fair competition-based genetic algorithm(HFCGA) for ball & beam system. The ball & beam system consists of servo motor, beam and ball, and remains mutually connected in line in itself. The ball & beam system determines the position of ball through the control of a servo motor. Consequently the displacement change of the position of the moving ball and its ensuing change of the angle of the beam results in the change of the position angle of a servo motor. The type-2 fuzzy cascade controller scheme consists of the outer controller and the inner controller as two cascaded fuzzy controllers. In type-2 fuzzy logic controller(FLC) as the expanded type of type-1 fuzzy logic controller(FLC), we can effectively improve the control characteristic by using the footprint of uncertainty(FOU) of membership function. The control parameters(scaling factors) of each fuzzy controller using HFCGA which is a kind of parallel genetic algorithms(PGAs). HFCGA helps alleviate the premature convergence being generated in conventional genetic algorithms(GAs). We estimated controller characteristic parameters of optimized type-2 fuzzy cascade controller applied ball & beam system such as maximum overshoot, delay time, rise time, settling time and steady-state error. For a detailed comparative analysis from the viewpoint of the performance results and the design methodology, the proposed method for the ball & beam system which is realized by the fuzzy cascade controller based on HFCGA, is presented in comparison with the conventional PD cascade controller based on serial genetic algorithms.

This paper proposes a real-time implementation of an optimal operation of a double stage grid connected wind power system incorporating an active power filter (APF). The system is used to supply the nonlinear loads with harmonics and reactive power compensation. On the generator side, a new adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is proposed to track the maximum wind power point regardless of wind speed fluctuations. Whereas on the grid side, a modified predictive current control (PCC) algorithm is used to control the APF, and allow to ensure both compensating harmonic currents and injecting the generated power into the grid. Also a type 2 fuzzy logic controller is used to control the DC-link capacitor in order to improve the dynamic response of the APF, and to ensure a well-smoothed DC-Link capacitor voltage. The gained benefits from these proposed control algorithms are the main contribution in this work. The proposed control scheme is implemented on a small-scale wind energy conversion system (WECS) controlled by a dSPACE 1104 card. Experimental results show that the proposed T2FLC maintains the DC-Link capacitor voltage within the limit for injecting the power into the grid. In addition, the PCC of the APF guarantees a flexible settlement of real power exchanges from the WECS to the grid with a high power factor operation.

본 논문에서는 신뢰할 수 있는 SRM 구동시스템과 기존의 PI제어기에 4개의 규칙으로 이루어진 FLM(Fuzzy Logic Modifier)를 제안하였다. 저가격 원칩 마이크로컨트롤러인 인텔사의 i80C196KC는 속도 제어기와 초기 기동을 포함한 SRM 구동 컨트롤러를 설계하기 위해 사용되었다. 폐루프 시스템에 안정된 효과를 보이는 FLM을 Pl 제어기에 추가함으로써 부적절하게 설정된 PI 제어기의 이득값에 대해 강인한 제어성능을 보인다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험결과는 6/4극 SRM에 대해 제안된 제어 방식이 우수함을 보여준다.
