Abstract

This paper describes the performance evaluation of fuzzy logic controller in Biodiesel Production system using MATLAB Simulink and MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. Biodiesel (fatty acid alkyl esters) is derived from triglycerides by transesterification with alcohol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel. Vegetable oils are produced from numerous oil seed crops and many of them are used for edible purpose. The oil obtained from Sal seeds (Shorea Robusta) even though used by local tribes in Indian forests for edible purpose, it is still classified as non-edible oil. Sal tree is abundantly available in forests of Indian subcontinent and this wood is used in building construction and manufacture of furniture because of its characteristic hardness. In this paper maximum output yield-Biodiesel Production has been done (SOME-Sal Oil Methyl Esters) by optimizing reaction parametersin relation to the Excess Methanol Quantity (EMQ, 150%),Reaction Temperature (RT, 65°C), Catalyst Quantity (CQ, NaOH - 0.25 W%) by Max-Min (MAMDANI) Method Fuzzy Inference System using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox Graphical User Interface (GUI) Tools of MATLAB (Intelligent System).
