Abstract
This paper presents the performances of an enhanced fuzzy logic controller (EFLC) for simulated Heat Exchanger (HE) temperature control system. The HE system is modeled mathematically using Energy Balance Equation and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. The Fuzzy Inference Structure (FIS) used was Sugeno-type. EFLC comprises of two parts which are normalized FLC part and model reference (MR) part. Both normalized and MRFLC part was using Gaussian membership function (MF) with 7x7 rule bases. Set Point (SP) tests conducted for change from 43°C to 39°C, 39°C to 35°C and 43°C to 35°C. The performances on SP tests of the FLC and proposed EFLC were compared to PID controller. The results showed that EFLC produced lower decay ratio (DR) with less oscillations, reduced undershoot (US), shorter settling time (Ts) and minimum Integral Absoluter Error (IAE) compare to FLC and PID controller.
