Description
Summary:A novel approach for the supervision of fuzzy model on-line adaptation is proposed. A nonlinear predictive controller is designed based on a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model. By adapting the fuzzy model on-line, high control performance can be achieved even with time-variant process behaviour and changing unmodelled disturbances. A local weighted recursive least-squares algorithm exploits the local linearity of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models. In order to cope with problems resulting from insufficient excitation, a supervisory level is introduced. It comprises a variable forgetting factor and an additional adaptation model which makes the on-line adaptation robust and reliable. The effectiveness and real-world applicability of the proposed approach are demonstrated by application to temperature control of a heat exchanger.
