Type-2 fuzzy controller’s performance index. Case study: tank level control

Abstract

Abstract This paper deals with the design and implementation of type-2 fuzzy controller, through a tank level control plant as a pilot system to analyze the response using performance indexes. The controller was developed using type-2 fuzzy logic from a mathematical approach and utilizing the identification of the process through a parametric method. Additionally, a classical proportional, integral, and derivative controller was used to generate the bases for the linguistic variables required by the fuzzy controller implementation. Finally, a statistical analysis of the transient and steady-state response margins is performed, which aims to provide a numerical index of the system response performance.
