Abstract
In industrial processes, the most important loop is the liquid-level control loop. The coupled tank system CT-100 becomes an essential apparatus for process control researchers. This paper introduces two controller techniques to control the water level in the second tank as a single input single output system. The PID controller is designed to control the linearized model, where the controller parameters are tuned using the Ziegler- Nichols tuning method. In addition, Fuzzy PID is designed based on adequate knowledge and experience. The proposed control approaches are simulated using MATLAB Simulink. Then, the obtained results using these controllers are compared in terms of time response specifications and the ITAE criterion. It is also, tested for step-change tracking signal and disturbance rejection. Finally, the simulation results showed that the Fuzzy PID controller has a robust performance.
期刊介绍:
WSEAS Transactions on Systems and Control publishes original research papers relating to systems theory and automatic control. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with systems theory, dynamical systems, linear and non-linear control, intelligent control, robotics and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
