Design of incremental fuzzy PI controllers for a gas-turbine plant

In this paper, incremental fuzzy proportional integral (PI) speed and temperature controllers for a heavy-duty gas-turbine plant are presented. To improve performance, an analysis of incremental fuzzy PI control is provided, and new fuzzy control rules are proposed. In applying the fuzzy PI control to a gas-turbine plant, all gains are optimized by an adaptive genetic algorithm. We show the performance improvement of the proposed controller compared with conventional PI controller via simulations.
