Assessment of FLC, PID, Nonlinear PID, and SMC Controllers for Level Stabilization in Mechatronic Systems
Abstract
Liquid level measurement is a vital task in industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and petroleum. The findings show that FLC and SMC offer superior performance in terms of rapid response, precision, and stability, particularly in handling nonlinear processes. By implementing these sophisticated controllers, industries put up benefit from increased work stability, low material waste, and improved energy efficiency. The study’s results directly contribute to improving industrial applications by optimizing production and minimizing costs. The primary feather objective of a liquid level control system of rules is to exert a predetermined changeable level using a storage tank, measurement system, controller, and pump. This paper compares quaternary controllers: Fuzzy logical system Controller (FLC), Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), Nonlinear PID, and Sliding Mode verify (SMC) applied to some I and connected tankful systems. The FLC is an intelligent controller that excels at managing non-linear and uncertain systems by interpreting influx and outflow rates and adjusting the system to maintain desired unstable levels. Its adaptability to undefined scenarios is a key innovation. The PID controller is used as a benchmark undefined to its simplicity simply struggles with non-linear systems and time-varying parameters. The Non-linear PID controller improves upon the traditional PID by using wrongdoing saturation functions, providing better control in non-linear systems. The SMC is a robust control method that ensures system stableness in the front of disturbances and uncertainties, making it highly effective for heavy-duty applications. Simulation results show that FLC and SMC cater a faster response and better accuracy in reaching desired unstable levels compared to traditional PID controllers. Both systems demo robust stableness and efficient control. As seen in the provided data, the FLC reaches a steady-state level in as little as 8.34 seconds in Run 1 and 1.088 seconds in Run 2 for the single-tank system. Similarly, the SMC stabilizes the system in approximately 23.17 seconds in the coupled tank system, reflecting its robust control capabilities.
