Abstract

This paper describes an application of fuzzy logic in designing controllers for industrial plants. A Fuzzy Logic is used to synthesise linguistic control protocol of a skilled operator. The method has been applied to pilot scale plants as well as in a practical industrial situation. The merits of this method in its usefulness to control engineering are discussed. This work also illustrates the potential for using fuzzy logic in modelling and decision making. An avenue for further work in this area is described where the need is to go beyond a purely descriptive approach and explore means by which a prescriptive system may be implemented.
