Design of a Self-Tuning PID Controller for a Temperature Control System Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

AbstractTemperature plays a significant role in industrial realm, especially in metallurgy and chemical industries. As maintaining optimal conditions in manufacturing can make a huge difference to its profitability and efficiency. Without providing a proper temperature control, the entire production lines can fall apart. Every product needs to be manufactured in an individual and specific conditions. If the temperature is too high or too low then it can affect the output product, potentially it may ruin completely and leads to wasting of raw materials. To maintain the stability of temperature requiring in any situation a temperature control system is needed. Typically classical conventional PID controllers are being used but these controllers have some lack of efficiency in controlling. These controllers exhibit higher overshoot, long rise time and settling time. Self- tuning Fuzzy PID controllers are more efficient than those classical PID control- lers. In this paper we proposed a design of Fuzzy Logic based self-tuning PID controller to reduce overshoot and conquer long rise time and settling time. This design provides more suitable and effective control to the temperature control system in industries.KeywordsFirst self-tuning PID controllerFuzzy interference system (FIS)TemperatureMATLABConventional PID
