An application of fuzzy logic to power generation control

摘要

The high demand for more energy at lowr prices, coupled with tighter safety and environmental regulatios made it necessary for utility companies to provide reliable power more efficiently, and for that purpose new control methods are being utilized to meet those challdenges. Fuzzy logic Control (FLC) technology produces cotnrollers that are more robust at lower development cost and time. These qualities give FLC advantage over conventional control technologies particularly in dealing with increasingly complex nonlinear systems. In this paper we examine some of the main applications of FLC in power systems and demonstrate it's usefulness in the control of a gas turbine.
