INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 4

This chapter deals with the simulation and results of various

blocks in DVR modelling and results of various blocks also
obtained and discussed.
The simulation results of this section are generated using
MATLAB/Simulink simulation package.

DYNAMIC VOLTAGE RESTORER

FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER UNIT

In fuzzy logic, basic control is determined by a set of linguistic rules

which are determined by the system.
Since numerical variables are converted into linguistic variables,
mathematical modelling of the system is not required.
The fuzzy logic controller has two real time inputs measured at every
sample time, named error and derror rate .
The defined If Then rules produce output (actuating) signal
and these signals are defuzzified.

Fuzzification

There are two methods of fuzzification namely, Sugeno and

mamdani methods.
Mamdani method is used in this simulation.
In this simulation study, the error and deerror rate are defined by
three linguistic variables such as Negative (n), Positive (p), Zero (o)
characterized by triangular membership functions.
The output is also defined by three linguistic variables such as
Negative (n), Positive (p), Zero (o) characterized by membership
functions .
There are two types of Fuzzification

SUGENO-TYPE FUZZY LOGIC

Sugeno-type fuzzy logic controller have been of great attention in
the industrial applications. The main idea is based on the use of
sector nonlinearity concept, which decomposes a complex nonlinear
system into a set of linear subsystems using fuzzy IF-THEN rules.
Sugeno-type fuzzy logic has no output membership functions in
fuzzy toolbox.
Sugeno has better processing time since the weighted average
replace thetime consuming defuzzification process.

MAMDANI-TYPE FUZZY LOGIC

Mamdanis fuzzy inference method is the most commonly seen fuzzy
Methodology.
Mamdani-type inference is a type of fuzzy inference in which the
fuzzy sets from the consequent of each rule are combined through
the aggregation operator and the resulting fuzzy set is defuzzified to
yield the output of the system.
Mamdani-type inference expects the output membership functions to
be fuzzy sets.
After the aggregation process, there is a fuzzy set for each output
variable that needs defuzzification.

DEFUZZIFICATION
The process of converting the fuzzified value into crisp output is
called defuzzification.
The defuzzification method used is Centroid. It is also called as
centre of gravity.
The most typical fuzzy set membership function has the graph of a
triangle.

ERROR MEMBERSHIP FUNCTION

The difference between the actual voltage and the reference voltage
is represented as the error function.

11

DERROR MEMBERSHIP FUNCTION

The difference between two error functions are represented as d error
membership function.
