Depth control of Submarine: a Fuzzy Logic approach

Abstract

Ocean has attracted the attention of the researchers owing to its importance on environmental issues, resources, scientific works and military tasks requiring critical control operations of the submarine to achieve the desired objectives. This paper represents the performance comparison of various controllers for the depth control of the submarine employing the stern plane actuation technique which actuates the stern plane motor to achieve the desired depth. The controllers such as PI Controller, Fuzzy logic based Controller (FLC) and Type 2 Fuzzy Logic based Controllers (T2FLC) have been applied for the depth control operation of the submarine and the simulation has been carried out based on quantitative performance analysis of the controllers using various performance criteria in MATLAB Simulink© environment. The results obtained in terms of Stern plane angle, Rate of change of Depth and Actual depth, indicate that the T2FLC provides better performance than other controllers used.
