A new fractional-order general type-2 fuzzy predictive control system and its application for glucose level regulation

摘要

In this paper a new robust fractional-order predictive controller is presented and employed to regulate the glucose level in type-1 diabetes. The dynamics of the system is fully unknown an it is online estimated by a fractional-order model using interval Type-2 (T2) fuzzy logic system. The proposed control system is composed of two main controllers which are the predictive General T2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (GT2-FLC) and compensator controller. In this structure, the main controller is the GT2-FLC which is optimized via the Biogeography-based Optimization (BBO) algorithm such that to minimize a cost function in a fixed prediction horizon. The compensator controller is designed to guarantee the closed-loop asymptotic stability. The performance of proposed control strategy is examined on the modified Bergman's model of some patients with time-varying parameters, external noise perturbation and meal disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified and is compared with the other T2 fuzzy and well-known model predictive controllers. The results of the paper clearly show the superiority of the proposed T2 fuzzy logic control system. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
