Design and Simulation of the Self-Tune Fuzzy Logic PID Controller for VAV Air Condition System

Abstract:

Base on the Fuzzy Logic(FL) control theorem, the Self-tune FL PID controller is designed in which the base rules of operator experience were combined. In MATLAB simulation, when system uses the same parameters, the Self-tune FL PID controller’s over-adjust decreases by 17% compared to the conventional PID controller. That applying Self-tune FL PID controller to control the damper’s position in VAV system is able to achieve the steady and less energy consumption system.
