Bioreactor Control Using Fuzzy Logic Controllers

Abstract:

Bioreactors are characterized by high nonlinearities and are often subjected to parameter uncertainties and disturbances. The control of such processes is often difficult to achieve with traditional linear control techniques. In the present work, a Fuzzy logic controller is designed in two versions to a Bioreactor which exhibits input multiplicities in dilution rate on productivity. Fuzzy controller and Fuzzy tuned PI controller is designed to translate the information obtained from the operator’s experiences for designing an automatic control system The Performance of proposed Fuzzy logic controller versions and conventional PI controller have been analyzed and evaluated. The two Fuzzy controller versions provide stable and faster responses than conventional PI controller. Thus, Fuzzy control is found to overcome the control problems of PI controller due to the input multiplicities near optimal productivity. It is interesting to note that the present fuzzy logic controller is giving superior performance. The process is tested with the MATLAB/SIMULINK and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox. The simulation results were presented which illustrate the validity of the method.
