A Unique Novel Approach for Design and Analysis of A Robust Decentralized Self-Tuning Fuzzy PI Controller for a Multi Input Multi Output Process

摘要

Problem statement: In real world most of the controlled processes in industries are Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) in nature.They have more than a single controlled variable that should be manipulated in order to achieve the desired control performance. Approach: Control of non linear Multi Input Multi Output processes is a difficult task because of the non stationary behaviour, substantial coupling of multiple variables and severe disturbances. Self tuning fuzzy control is a technique applied to control a MIMO process when the plant parameters are subjected to perturbations and when the dynamics of the systems are too complex for a mathematical model to describe. In this study, a decentralized self tuning fuzzy PI controller is designed for a Multi Input Multi Output Process. Results: The performances of the proposed STFPIC for the MIMO process are compared with fuzzy PI controller under both normal and under -10% deviation in time constant in terms of the performance measure Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). Conclusion: The proposed STFPIC for the MIMO process shows remakably improved performance than FPIC.
