Blowdown wind tunnel control using an adaptive fuzzy PI controller
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents an approach towards the control of a supersonic blowdown wind tunnel plant (as evidenced by experimental data collected from “INCAS Supersonic Blowdown Wind Tunnel”) using a PI type controller. The key to maintain the imposed experimental conditions is the control of the air flow using the control valve of the plant. A proposed mathematical model based on the control valve will be analyzed using the PI controller. This control scheme will be validated using experimental data collected from real test cases. In order to improve the control performances an adaptive fuzzy PI controller will be implemented in SIMULINK in the present paper. The major objective is to reduce the transient regimes and the global reduction of the start-up loads on the models during this phase.
