Implementation of adaptive fuzzy control for a real-time control demo-model

    Research outputpeer-review

    Abstract

    From 1995-1999 a R&D project on fuzzy control applications to the Belgian Reactor 1 (BR1) was conducted at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK · CEN). Due to the safety regulations of the nuclear reactor, it is not realistic to perform many experiments at BR1. In this situation, part of the pre-processing experiments had to be carried outside the reactor (e.g., comparisons of different methods and the preliminary choices of the parameters). Therefore a water-level control system, referred to as a real-time control demo-model, was designed and constructed. In this paper, the construction of the demo-model and related hardware aspects is firstly outlined, then the results of a fuzzy control (Mamdani-type) and an adaptive fuzzy control are presented. The adaptive fuzzy control is a fuzzy control with an adaptive function that can self-regulate the fuzzy control rules. Finally, an implementation of a computer simulation is introduced with an adaptive fuzzy control for this real-time control demo-model.
