Adaptive fuzzy control of pressure and level

Abstract

Due to high complexity of chemical processes and their control systems, adaptive controllers are frequently applied in practice. The present paper describes the design and implementation of adaptive fuzzy controllers for the control of a coupled level and pressure process. Expert knowledge is applied to form an adaptation mechanism which tunes the fuzzy controller based on process data. The results of the experiments on the physical plant prove the practical relevance of the design strategy of an adaptive fuzzy controller.
