T-S Fuzzy Bibo Stabilisation of Non-Linear Systems Under Persistent Perturbations Using Fuzzy Lyapunov Functions and Non-PDC Control Laws

[EN] This paper develops an innovative approach for designing non-parallel distributed fuzzy controllers for continuous-time non-linear systems under persistent perturbations. Non-linear systems are represented using Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models. These non-PDC controllers guarantee bounded input bounded output stabilisation in closed-loop throughout the computation of generalised inescapable ellipsoids. These controllers are computed with linear matrix inequalities using fuzzy Lyapunov functions and integral delayed Lyapunov functions. LMI conditions developed in this paper provide non-PDC controllers with a minimum *-norm (upper bound of the 1-norm) for the T-S fuzzy system under persistent perturbations. The results presented in this paper can be classified into two categories: local methods based on fuzzy Lyapunov functions with guaranteed bounds on the first derivatives of membership functions and global methods based on integral-delayed Lyapunov functions which are independent of the first derivatives of membership functions. The benefits of the proposed results are shown through some illustrative examples.This work has been funded by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad, Spain (research project RTI2018-096904-B-I00) and Conselleria de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte-Generalitat Valenciana, Spain (research project AICO/2019/055).Salcedo-Romero-De-Ávila, J.; Martínez Iranzo, MA.; Garcia-Nieto, S.; Hilario Caballero, A.

Design and Implementation of Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Tracking Control for a DC-DC Buck Converter

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy controller for a DC-DC buck converter using Arduino board. The proposed fuzzy controller is able to pilot the states of the buck converter to track a reference model. The T-S fuzzy model is employed, firstly, to represent exactly the dynamics of the nonlinear buck converter system, and then the considered controller is designed on the basis of a concept called Virtual Desired Variables (VDVs). In this case, a two-stage design procedure is developed: i) determine the reference model according to the desired output voltage, ii) determine the fuzzy controller gains by solving a set of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). A digital implementation of the proposed T-S fuzzy controller is carried out using the ATmega328P-based Microcontroller of the Arduino Uno board. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme

A LOW-COST APPROACH TO DATA-DRIVEN FUZZY CONTROL OF SERVO SYSTEMS

Servo systems become more and more important in control systems applications in various fields as both separate control systems and actuators. Ensuring very good control system performance using few information on the servo system model (viewed as a controlled process) is a challenging task. Starting with authors’ results on data-driven model-free control, fuzzy control and the indirect model-free tuning of fuzzy controllers, this paper suggests a low-cost approach to the data-driven fuzzy control of servo systems. The data-driven fuzzy control approach consists of six steps: (i) open-loop data-driven system identification to produce the process model from input-output data expressed as the system step response, (ii) Proportional-Integral (PI) controller tuning using the Extended Symmetrical Optimum (ESO) method, (iii) PI controller parameters mapping onto parameters of Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controller in terms of the modal equivalence principle, (iv) closed-loop data-driven system identification, (v) PI controller tuning using the ESO method, (vi) PI controller parameters mapping onto parameters of Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controller. The steps (iv), (v) and (vi) are optional. The approach is applied to the position control of a nonlinear servo system. The experimental results obtained on laboratory equipment validate the approach

T-S Controllers For Photovoltaic-Grid Connected System Through DC-DC Boost Converter and Three Phase Inverter

Ce document présente deux contrôleurs flous TS en ligne pour contrôler l'extraction de puissance optimale et son transfert du système PV via deux convertisseurs statiques vers le réseau public. Le premier contrôleur est appliqué sur le convertisseur élévateur pour calculer, à chaque instant, le rapport cyclique permettant de suivre le point de puissance maximale du panneau sous les variations climatiques et d'atteindre un rendement élevé pour la récolte d'énergie solaire. Alors que le second ajuste les états de commutation des branches de l'onduleur triphasé à deux niveauxtransistors pour un transfert maximal de la puissance active produite par le panneau vers le réseau de distribution avec compensation de puissance réactive lors de l'établissement de la synchronisation.Après présentation de la structure du système de connexion au réseau et modélisation mathématique des convertisseurs côté PV et côté réseau, les contrôleurs flous TS sont détaillés. La synthèse de ces contrôleurs est basée sur la subdivision de l'espace d'états du système non linéaire à contrôler en un ensemble de sous-systèmes linéaires. Pour assurer le rejet des perturbations et garantir la stabilité du contrôleur flou,  Le critère et la fonction de stabilité quadratique de Lyapunov sont considérés. Les gains du contrôleur sont calculés en utilisant la solution d'inégalité de matrice linéaire (LMI). Les résultats de la simulation numérique sur l'environnement Matlab-Simulink montrent l'efficacité et les performances des contrôleurs proposés

Comparative Study of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang and Madani Algorithms in Type-1 and Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Control for Self-Balancing Wheelchairs

This study examines the effectiveness of four different fuzzy logic controllers in self-balancing wheelchairs. The controllers under consideration are Type-1 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) FLC, Interval Type-2 TSK FLC, Type-1 Mamdani FLC, and Interval Type-2 Mamdani FLC. A MATLAB-based simulation environment serves for the evaluation, focusing on key performance indicators like percentage overshoot, rise time, settling time, and displacement. Two testing methodologies were designed to simulate both ideal conditions and real-world hardware limitations. The simulations reveal distinct advantages for each controller type. For example, Type-1 TSK excels in minimizing overshoot but requires higher force. Interval Type-2 TSK shows the quickest settling times but needs the most force. Type-1 Mamdani has the fastest rise time with the lowest force requirement but experiences a higher percentage of overshoot. Interval Type-2 Mamdani offers balanced performance across all metrics. When a 2.7 N control input cap is imposed, Type-2 controllers prove notably more efficient in minimizing overshoot. These results offer valuable insights for future design and real-world application of self-balancing wheelchairs. Further studies are recommended for the empirical testing and refinement of these controllers, especially since the initial findings were limited to four-wheeled self-balancing robotic wheelchairs

Variable structure control with chattering reduction of a generalized T-S model

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based variable structure control (VSC) is presented. The main objective is to obtain an improved performance of highly non-linear unstable systems. New functions for chattering reduction and error convergence without sacrificing invariant properties are proposed. The main feature of the proposed method is that the switching function is added as an additional fuzzy variable and will be introduced in the premise part of the fuzzy rules; together with the state variables. In this work, a tuning of the well known weighting parameters approach is proposed to optimize local and global approximation and modelling capability of the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model to improve the choice of the performance index and minimize it. The main problem encountered is that the T-S identification method can not be applied when the membership functions are overlapped by pairs. This in turn restricts the application of the T-S method because this type of membership function has been widely used in control applications. The approach developed here can be considered as a generalized version of the T-S method. An inverted pendulum mounted on a cart is chosen to evaluate the robustness, effectiveness, accuracy and remarkable performance of the proposed estimation approach in comparison with the original T-S model. Simulation results indicate the potential, simplicity and generality of the estimation method and the robustness of the chattering reduction algorithm. In this paper, we prove that the proposed estimation algorithm converge the very fast, thereby making it very practical to use. The application of the proposed FLC-VSC shows that both alleviation of chattering and robust performance are achieved
