Abstract |
|
|
| This paper aims to develop a fuzzy system to control the level and temperature of a fluid in a mixing tank by dynamically adjusting the flow rates of cold and hot liquids. The system involves a temperature and level loop, with the control variables being the rates of cold water and hot water flow, while also considering the outlet flow from the reservoir as a disruptive factor. The main goal of this control strategy is to maintain the liquid level and temperature within specified reference values. The system is a multivariable process that uses a fuzzy control system to develop a technique that, based on the state variables, can adapt the controller to achieve optimal control performance. In the development of this application, some linear controllers were tested, each implemented around specific regions within the phase plane. The designed controllers are then employed in conjunction with the fuzzy system to evaluate the system’s state variables. Therefore, an interpolation of these linear controllers is conducted, allowing for their application in a nonlinear system, with the aim of enhancing control performance near the boundaries between regions. The results show that the fuzzy approach is promising and provides convergence to the reference values of the liquid level and temperature in the mixing tank.
