Transformation of Type I Fuzzy Logic into Interval Type II Fuzzy Logic-based Unit Voltage Template with Controlled Load

The interval type II fuzzy logic controller (IT2FL) is a recent artificial intelligent technology which is applied in many aspects of electrical power engineering and controlling strategies these days. The improving of Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) control algorithms is still ongoing, because the control strategy of DSTATCOM device is considered as a decisive factor which affects the performance of DSTATCOM device in enhancing the quality of power in the distribution grids. The improving process focuses in two main aspects the DC capacitor voltage response to the control system and the mitigation of the harmonics which are produced by the controlled and uncontrolled rectified loads. In this paper, the interval type II fuzzy logic controller (IT2FL) based the Unit Voltage Template strategy (UVT) is examined by the MATLAB program with two different ranges of input signals, and compared with the type I Fuzzy logic controller (T1FL). The IT2FL based UVT shows promising results in improving the deformed shape of source current waves in comparison with the other controllers.
