Title: Performance Improvement of the Nonlinear Fuzzy PID Controller
Abstract: This paper suggests a new fuzzy PID controller with variable parameters which improves the shortage of the fuzzy PID controller with fixed parameters suggested in [9]. The derivation procedure follows the general design procedure of the fuzzy logic controller, while the resultant control law is the form of the conventional PID controller. Therefore, the suggested controller has two advantages. One is that it has only four fuzzy linguistic rules and analytical form of control laws so that the real-time control system can be implemented based on low-price microprocessors. The other is that the PID control action can always be achieved with time-varying PID controller gains only by adjusting the input and output scalers at each sampling time.
