Fuzzy PID controller design is still a complex task due to the involvement of a large number of parameters in defining the fuzzy rule base. To reduce the huge number of fuzzy rules required in the normal design for fuzzy PID controller, the fuzzy PID controller is represented as Proportional-Derivative Fuzzy (PDF) controller and Proportional-Integral Fuzzy (PIF) controller connected in parallel through a summer. The PIF controller design has been simplified by replacing the PIF controller by PDF controller with accumulating output. In this paper, the modified Fuzzy PID controller design for bench-top helicopter has been presented. The proposed Fuzzy PID controller has been described using Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and implemented using the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board. The bench-top helicopter has been used to test the proposed controller. The results have been compared with the conventional PID controller and Internal Model Control Tuned PID (IMC-PID) Controller. Simulation results show that the modified Fuzzy PID controller produces superior control performance than the other two controllers in handling the nonlinearity of the helicopter system. The output signal from the FPGA board is compared with the output of the modified Fuzzy PID controller to show that the FPGA board works like the Fuzzy PID controller. The result shows that the plant responses with the FPGA board are much similar to the plant responses when using simulation software based controller.
Efficient energy collection from photovoltaic (PV) systems in environments that change is still a challenge, especially when partial shading conditions (PSC) come into play. This research shows a new method called Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) that uses fuzzy logic and neural networks to make PV systems more flexible and accurate when they are exposed to PSC. Our method uses a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) that is specifically made to deal with uncertainty and imprecision. This is different from other MPPT methods that have trouble with the nonlinearity and transient dynamics of PSC. At the same time, an artificial neural network (ANN) is taught to guess where the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) is most likely to be by looking at patterns of changes in irradiance and temperature from the past. The fuzzy controller fine-tunes the ANN’s prediction, ensuring robust and precise MPPT operation. We used MATLAB/Simulink to run a lot of simulations to make sure our proposed method would work. The results showed that combining fuzzy logic with neural networks is much better than using traditional MPPT algorithms in terms of speed, stability, and response to changing shading patterns. This innovative technique proposes a dual-layered control mechanism where the robustness of fuzzy logic and the predictive power of neural networks converge to form a resilient and efficient MPPT system, marking a significant advancement in PV technology.
A self learning fuzzy logic controller for ship steering systems is proposed in this paper. Due to the high nonlinearity of ship steering system, the performances of traditional control algorithms are not satisfactory in fact.

The design of fuzzy controllers is usually performed in an ad hoc manner where it is hard to justify the choice of some fuzzy control parameters such as the parameters of membership function. In this paper, self tuning algorithm is used to adjust the parameters of fuzzy controller. Simulation results show that the efficiency of proposed algorithm to design a fuzzy controller for ship steering system.
The reluctance of industry to allow wireless paths to be incorporated in process control loops has limited the potential applications and benefits of wireless systems. The challenge is to maintain the performance of a control loop, which is degraded by slow data rates and delays in a wireless path. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents an application–level design for a wireless sensor/actuator network (WSAN) based on the “automated architecture”. The resulting WSAN system is used in the developing of a wireless distributed control system (WDCS). The implementation of our wireless system involves the building of a wireless sensor network (WSN) for data acquisition and controller area network (CAN) protocol fieldbus system for plant actuation. The sensor/actuator system is controlled by an intelligent digital control algorithm that involves a controller developed with velocity PID- like Fuzzy Neural Petri Net (FNPN) system. This control system satisfies two important real-time requirements: bumpless transfer and anti-windup, which are needed when manual/auto operating aspect is adopted in the system. The intelligent controller is learned by a learning algorithm based on back-propagation. The concept of petri net is used in the development of FNN to get a correlation between the error at the input of the controller and the number of rules of the fuzzy-neural controller leading to a reduction in the number of active rules. The resultant controller is called robust fuzzy neural petri net (RFNPN) controller which is created as a software model developed with MATLAB. The developed concepts were evaluated through simulations as well validated by real-time experiments that used a plant system with a water bath to satisfy a temperature control. The effect of disturbance is also studied to prove the system's robustness.

The control law of fuzzy based adaptive Sliding Mode Control scheme will update the parameters of fuzzy sliding mode control by using the stability analysis of Lyapunov criteria such that the convergence in finite time and the stability of the closed loop are ensured. The proposed control scheme consists of four similar subsystems used for the four sides of the vehicle. The sub control scheme contains two loops, the outer loop is built using sliding mode controller with fuzzy estimator to approximate and estimate the unknown parameters in the system. In the inner loop, a controller of type Fractional Order PID (FOPID) is utilized to create the required actuator force. All parameters in the four sub control schemes are optimized utilizing Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm in order to improve the performance. The results indicate the effectiveness and good achievement of the proposed controller in providing the best ability to limit the vibration with good robustness properties in comparison with passive suspension system and using sliding mode control method. The controlled suspension system shows excellent results when it was tested with and without typical breaking and bending torques.

Firstly, an identification model using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) was implemented. The identification model consists of four inputs which are the aeration flow rates, the temperature, conductivity, and protection current, and one output that represented by the structure-to-electrolyte potential. The used data taken from an experimental CP system model, type impressed current submerged sample pipe carbon steel. Secondly, two control techniques are used. The first control technique use a conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, while the second is the fuzzy controller. The PID controller can be applied to control ICCP system and quite easy to implement. But, it required very fine tuning of its parameters based on the desired value. Furthermore, it needed time response more than fuzzy controller to track reference voltage. So the fuzzy controller has a faster and better response.

The fuzzy network and the neural network parameters are learned using back propagation algorithm.
Most of routing protocols used for Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), such as Ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing, uses minimum hops as the only metric for choosing a route. This decision might lead to cause some nodes become congested which will degrade the network performance.

The decline in the marketing volume of Rabobank Group ICT is a serious incident as it can hinder the implementation of an increasing number of software releases for business development. The Service Desk Agent records the activities that occur to find out the problems experienced in the form of an event log. Process mining can be used to generate process model visualizations based on event logs to explicitly monitor the business. Fuzzy Miner and Heuristic Miner algorithms can be used to handle complex event logs. In this study, an analysis of the Rabobank Group ICT incident was carried out with process mining using the Fuzzy Miner and Heuristic Miner algorithms. Process mining is done by discovery, conformance, and enhancement. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the division of the work area is not good enough to cause a team to work on a lot of events while there are other teams that only work on one event. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clear and balanced division of domains and workloads so that incidents do not recur.
Nowadays, renewable energy is being used increasingly because of the global warming and destruction of the environment. Therefore, the studies are concentrating on gain of maximum power from this energy such as the solar energy. A sun tracker is device which rotates a photovoltaic (PV) panel to the sun to get the maximum power. Disturbances which are originated by passing the clouds are one of great challenges in design of the controller in addition to the losses power due to energy consumption in the motors and lifetime limitation of the sun tracker. In this paper, the neuro-fuzzy controller has been designed and implemented using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board for dual axis sun tracker based on optical sensors to orient the PV panel by two linear actuators. The experimental results reveal that proposed controller is more robust than fuzzy logic controller and proportional- integral (PI) controller since it has been trained offline using Matlab tool box to overcome those disturbances. The proposed controller can track the sun trajectory effectively, where the experimental results reveal that dual axis sun tracker power can collect 50.6% more daily power than fixed angle panel. Whilst one axis sun tracker power can collect 39.4 % more daily power than fixed angle panel. Hence, dual axis sun tracker can collect 8 % more daily power than one axis sun tracker .
This paper studies the impact of climate change on the electricity consumption by means of a fuzzy regression approach. The climate factors which have been considered in this paper are humidity and temperature, whereas the simultaneous effect of these two climate factors is considered. The impacts of other climate variables, like the wind, with a minor effect on energy consumption are ignored. The innovation which applies in this paper is the division of the year into two parts by using the temperature-day graph in the year. To index the humidity, data of the minimum humidity per day are used. For temperature, the maximum temperature of the first part of the year (warm days) and the minimum of the second part (cold days) are used. The indicator for the consumption is the daily peak load. The model results show high sensitivity to the temperature but low sensitivity to the humidity. Moreover, it is concluded that the model structure cannot be the same and for the cold par additional variables such as gas consumption should be considered.

Finally, the proposed system can contribute to the construction of a wide healthcare monitoring system in the unit or in the department that follows on for the hospital. Therefore, Doctors can improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, as they receive all the patient data necessary.
Clustering is one of the most energy-efficient techniques for extending the lifetime of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In a clustered WSN, each sensor node transmits the data acquired from the sensing field to the leader node (cluster head). The cluster head (CH) is in charge of aggregating and routing the collected data to the Base station (BS) of the deployed network. Thereby, the selection of the optimum CH is still a crucial issue to reduce the consumed energy in each node and extend the network lifetime. To determine the optimal number of CHs, this paper proposes an Enhanced Fuzzy-based LEACH (E-FLEACH) protocol based on the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The FLC system relies on three inputs: the residual energy of each node, the distance of each node from the base station (sink node), as well as the node's centrality. The proposed protocol is implemented using the Castalia simulator in conjunction with OMNET++, and simulation results indicate that the proposed protocol outperforms the traditional LEACH protocol in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption, and stability.
The main objective of designed the controller for a vehicle suspension system is to reduce the discomfort sensed by passengers which arises from road roughness and to increase the ride handling associated with the pitching and rolling movements. This necessitates a very fast and accurate controller to meet as much control objectives, as possible. Therefore, this paper deals with an artificial intelligence Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) technique to design a robust controller to meet the control objectives. The advantage of this controller is that it can handle the nonlinearities faster than other conventional controllers. The approach of the proposed controller is to minimize the vibrations on each corner of vehicle by supplying control forces to suspension system when travelling on rough road. The other purpose for using the NF controller for vehicle model is to reduce the body inclinations that are made during intensive manoeuvres including braking and cornering. A full vehicle nonlinear active suspension system is introduced and tested. The robustness of the proposed controller is being assessed by comparing with an optimal Fractional Order PI λ D μ (FOPID) controller. The results show that the intelligent NF controller has improved the dynamic response measured by decreasing the cost function.
The power quality problems can be defined as the difference between the quality of power supplied and the quality of power required. Recently a large interest has been focused on a power quality domain due to: disturbances caused by non-linear loads and Increase in number of electronic devices. Power quality measures the fitness of the electric power transmitted from generation to industrial, domestic and commercial consumers. At least 50% of power quality problems are of voltage quality type. Voltage sag is the serious power quality issues for the electric power industry and leads to the damage of sensitive equipments like, computers, programmable logic controller (PLC), adjustable speed drives (ADS). The prime goal of this paper is to investigate the performance of the Fuzzy Logic controller based DVR in reduction the power disturbances to restore the load voltage to the nominal value and reduce the THD to a permissible value which is 5% for the system less than 69Kv. The modeling and simulation of a power distribution system have been achieved using MATLABL/Simulink. Different faults conditions and power disturbances with linear and non-linear loads are created with the proposed system, which are initiated at a duration of 0.8sec and kept till 0.95sec.
Navigational sensors are evolving both on a commercial and research level. However, the limitation still lies in the accuracy of the respective sensors. For a navigation system to reach a certain accuracy, multi sensors or fusion sensors are used. In this paper, a framework of fuzzy sensor data fusing is proposed to obtain an optimised navigational system. Different types of sensors without a known state of inaccuracy can be fused using the same method proposed. This is demonstrated by fusing compass/accelerometer and GPS signal. GPS is prone to inaccuracies due to environmental factors. These inaccuracies are available in the extracted NMEA protocols as SNR and HDOP. Dead reckoning sensors on the other hand do not depend on external radio signal coverage and can be used in areas with low coverage, but the errors are unbounded and have an accumulative effect over time.
According to the growing interest in the soft robotics research field, where various industrial and medical applications have been developed by employing soft robots. Our focus in this paper will be the Pneumatic Muscle Actuator (PMA), which is the heart of the soft robot. Achieving an accurate control method to adjust the actuator length to a predefined set point is a very difficult problem because of the hysteresis and nonlinearity behaviors of the PMA. So the construction and control of a 30 cm soft contractor pneumatic muscle actuator (SCPMA) were done here, and by using different strategies such as the PID controller, Bang-Bang controller, Neural network controller, and Fuzzy controller, to adjust the length of the (SCPMA) between 30 cm and 24 cm by utilizing the amount of air coming from the air compressor. All of these strategies will be theoretically implemented using the MATLAB/Simulink package. Also, the performance of these control systems will be compared with respect to the time-domain characteristics and the root mean square error (RMSE). As a result, the controller performance accuracy and robustness ranged from one controller to another, and we found that the fuzzy logic controller was one of the best strategies used here according to the simplicity of the implementation and the very accurate response obtained from this method.

The prototype airship has on board GPS and compass for telemetry and transmitted to the ground control system via a wireless link.
Among all control methods for induction motor drives, Direct Torque Control (DTC) seems to be particularly interesting being independent of machine rotor parameters and requiring no speed or position sensors. The DTC scheme is characterized by the absence of PI regulators, coordinate transformations, current regulators and PWM signals generators. In spite of its simplicity, DTC allows a good torque control in steady state and transient operating conditions to be obtained. However, the presence of hysterics controllers for flux and torque could determine torque and current ripple and variable switching frequency operation for the voltage source inverter. This paper is aimed to analyze DTC principles, and the problems related to its implementation, especially the torque ripple and the possible improvements to reduce this torque ripple by using a proposed fuzzy based duty cycle controller. The effectiveness of the duty ratio method was verified by simulation using Matlab/Simulink software package. The results are compared with that of the traditional DTC models.

The results of the simulation using the CTA was compared with two other methods.
Energy constraint has become the major challenge for designing wireless sensor networks. Network lifetime is considered as the most substantial metric in these networks. Routing technique is one of the best choices for maintaining network lifetime. This paper demonstrates implementation of new methodology of routing in WSN using firefly swarm intelligence. Energy consumption is the dominant issue in wireless sensor networks routing. For network cutoff avoidance while maximize net lifetime energy exhaustion must be balanced. Balancing energy consumption is the key feature for rising nets lifetime of WSNs. This routing technique involves determination of optimal route from node toward sink to make energy exhaustion balance in network and in the same time maximize network throughput and lifetime. The proposed technique show that it is better than other some routing techniques like Dijkstra routing, Fuzzy routing, and ant colony (ACO) routing technique. Results demonstrate that the proposed routing technique has beat the three routing techniques in throughput and extend net lifetime.

However, certain applications, like nonlinear real-time, are difficult to explain using accurate mathematical models. Such large-scale combination and highly nonlinear modeling problems are solved by usage of soft computing techniques. So, in this paper, the researchers have tried to incorporate one of the most advanced plant algorithms known as Venus Flytrap Plant algorithm(VFO) along with soft-computing techniques and, to be specific, the ANFIS inverse model-Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System for controlling the real-time temperature of a microwave cavity that heats oil. The MATLAB was integrated successfully with the LabVIEW platform. Wide ranges of input and output variables were experimented with. Problems were encountered due to heating system conditions like reflected power, variations in oil temperature, and oil inlet absorption and cavity temperatures affecting the oil temperature, besides the temperature’s effect on viscosity. The LabVIEW design followed and the results figure in the performance of the VFO- Inverse ANFIS controller.
The use of image communication has increased in recent years. In this paper, new partial encryption schemes are used to encrypt only part of the compressed data. Only 6.25-25% of the original data is encrypted for four different images, resulting in a significant reduction in encryption and decryption time. In the compression step, an advanced clustering analysis technique (Fuzzy C-means (FCM)) is used. In the encryption step, the permutation cipher is used. The effect of number of different clusters is studied. The proposed partial encryption schemes are fast and secure, and do not reduce the compression performance of the underlying selected compression methods as shown in experimental results and conclusion.
In this paper, enhancing dynamic performance in power systems through load frequency control (LFC) is explored across diverse operating scenarios. A new Neural Network Model Predictive Controller (NN-MPC) specifically tailored for two-zone load frequency power systems is presented. ” Make your paper more scientific. The NN-MPC marries the predictive accuracy of neural networks with the robust capabilities of model predictive control, employing the nonlinear Levenberg-Marquardt method for optimization. Utilizing local area error deviation as feedback, the proposed controller’s efficacy is tested against a spectrum of operational conditions and systemic variations. Comparative simulations with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) reveal the proposed NN-MPC’s superior performance, underscoring its potential as a formidable solution in power system regulation.
The main purpose of using the suspension system in vehicles is to prevent the road disturbance from being transmitted to the passengers. Therefore, a precise controller should be designed to improve the performances of suspension system. This paper presents a modeling and control of the nonlinear full vehicle active suspension system with passenger seat utilizing Fuzzy Model Reference Learning Control (FMRLC) technique. The components of the suspension system are: damper, spring and actuator, all of those components have nonlinear behavior, so that, nonlinear forces that are generated by those components should be taken into account when designed the control system. The designed controller consumes high power so that when the control system is used, the vehicle will consume high amount of fuel. It notes that, when vehicle is driven on a rough road; there will be a shock between the sprung mass and the unsprung mass. This mechanical power dissipates and converts into heat power by a damper. In this paper, the wasted power has reclaimed in a proper way by using electromagnetic actuator. The electromagnetic actuator converts the mechanical power into electrical power which can be used to drive the control system. Therefore, overall power consumption demand for the vehicle can be reduced. When the electromagnetic actuator is used three main advantages can be obtained: firstly, fuel consumption by the vehicle is decreased, secondly, the harmful emission is decreases, therefore, our environment is protected, and thirdly, the performance of the suspension system is improved as shown in the obtained results.

Microgrids (ℳ-grids) can be thought of as a small-scale electrical network comprised of a mix of Distributed Generation (DG) resources, storage devices, and a variety of load species. It provides communities with a stable, secure, and renewable energy supply in either off-grid (grid-forming) or on-grid (grid-following) mode. In this work, a control strategy of coordinated power management for a Low Voltage (LV) ℳ-grid with integration of solar Photovoltaic (PV), Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and three phase loads operated autonomously or connected to the utility grid has been created and analyzed in the Matlab Simulink environment. The main goal expressed here is to achieve the following points: (i) grid following, grid forming modes, and resynchronization mode between them, (ii) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) from solar PV using fuzzy logic technique, and active power regulator based boost converter using a Proportional Integral (PI) controller is activated when a curtailment operation is required, (iii) ℳ-grid imbalance compensation (negative sequence) due to large single-phase load is activated, and (iv) detection and diagnosis the fault types using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Under the influence of irradiance fluctuation on solar plant, the proposed control technique demonstrates how the adopted system works in grid- following mode (PQ control), grid- formation, and grid resynchronization to seamlessly connect the ℳ-grid with the main distribution system. In this system, a power curtailment management system is introduced in the event of a significant reduction in load, allowing the control strategy to be switched from MPPT to PQ control, permitting the BESS to absorb excess power. Also, in grid-following mode, the BESS's imbalance compensation mechanism helps to reduce the negative sequence voltage that occurs at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) bus as a result of an imbalance in the grid's power supply. In addition to the features described above, this system made use of DWT to detect and diagnose various fault conditions.
