Finite time takagi-sugeno fuzzy control for hydro-turbine governing system

Abstract

In this study, a robust finite time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy control method for hydro-turbine governing system (HTGS) is investigated. Firstly, the mathematical model of HTGS is introduced, and on the basis of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy rules, the T-S fuzzy model of HTGS is presented. Secondly, based on finite time stability theory, a novel finite time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy control method is designed for the stability control of HTGS. Thirdly, the relatively loose sufficient stability condition is acquired, which could be transformed into a group of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) via Schur complement as well as the strict mathematical derivation is given. Furthermore, the control method could resist random disturbances, which shows the good robustness. Simulation results indicate the designed finite time T-S fuzzy control scheme works well compared with the conventional method. The approach proposed in this paper is easy to implement and also provides reference for relevant hydropower systems.
