Neuron model-free control with fuzzy tuning parameters for hydraulic turbine generators

Under the operating conditions of various guide vane opening, the characteristics of a hydraulic turbine generator unit show much difference in parameters. In order to control hydraulic turbine generators efficiently, the neuron model-free control method with fuzzy tuning parameters is proposed in this paper. In this control system, the neuron is designed to produce the control signal in model-free way, and the neuron controller parameters are tuned by using the fuzzy algorithm. With an example, the experiments are made. The simulation results show that the proposed neuron model-free controller has good performance, fast transient response and strong robustness.
