✦ Synopsis

A new method of designing a controller, based on a vague kind of information and using fuzzy set theory, shows promising results in a case study.

Seminary--In many cases a human operator is far more successful in controlling a complex industrial process than a controller designed by modern control techniques. The method of expressing the strategy of a human operator using fuzzy set theory has already been proposed elsewhere. In this study this method is applied to the control of a warm water plant. Fuzzy algorithms based on linguistic rules describing the operator's control strategy are applied to control this plant. Several types of such algorithms are implemented and compared.
