Abstract

This paper aims to serve two main objectives; one is to demonstrate the modelling capabilities of a neuro-fuzzy approach, namely ANFIS (adaptive-network based fuzzy inference system) to a nonlinear system; and the other is to design a fuzzy controller to control such a system. The nonlinear system, which is a liquid-level system, is represented first by its mathematical model and then by ANFIS architecture. The ANFIS model is formed by means of input–output data set taken from the mathematical model. Then a PID-type fuzzy controller, which linguistically approximates the classical three-term compensation, was designed to control the system represented by both its mathematical and ANFIS models in order to perform an agreement comparison between them. It is shown that the ANFIS architecture can model a nonlinear system very accurately by means of input–output pairs obtained either from the actual system or its mathematical model. It is also shown that such a system can be controlled effectively by a fuzzy controller.
