1. Introduction
An accurate control is critical to every process that leads to various types of controllers, which are
being widely used in process industries. The tuning methods for these controllers are very
important for process industries. The aim of this paper is to design a fuzzy logic controller for
speed control of a DC motor. Because of their high reliabilities, flexibilities and low costs [1]. The
DC motors are widely used in industrial applications, robot manipulators and home appliances
where speed and position control of motor are required [2]. All control systems suffer from
problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations and stability while
going from one state to another state. Real world systems are nonlinear, accurate modeling is
difficult, costly and even impossible in most cases conventional PID controllers generally do not
work well for non-linear systems. Therefore, more advanced control techniques need to be used
which will minimize the noise effects. To overcome these difficulties, there are three basic
approaches to intelligent control: knowledge based expert systems, fuzzy logic, and neural
networks. All three approaches are interesting and very promising areas of research and

development. In this paper, we present only the fuzzy logic approach. The fuzzy logic, unlike
conventional logic system, is able to model inaccurate or imprecise models. The fuzzy logic
approach offers a simpler, quicker and more reliable solution that is clear advantages over
conventional techniques [3], [4].
The Fuzzy Logic has been successfully applied to a large number of control applications. The most
commonly used controller is the PID controller, which requires a mathematical model of the
system. A fuzzy logic controller provides an alternative to the PID controller. The control action
in fuzzy logic controllers can be expressed with simple “if-then” rules. Fuzzy controllers are more
sufficient than classical controllers because they can cover a much wider range of operating
conditions than classical controllers and can operate with noise and disturbances of a different
nature [5].
2. Modeling of Separately Excited Dc Motor
The term speed control stand for intentional speed variation carried out manually or automatically.
The DC motors are most suitable for wide range speed control and there are for many adjustable
speed drives [6], [7]. The Fig.1 shows block diagram of separately excited DC motor model

3. Fuzzy Logic Controller
The Fuzzy logic has rapidly become one of the most successful of today's technologies for
developing sophisticated control systems. The fuzzy logic control technology has been widely and
successfully utilized in industrial applications. Fuzzy Logic is a multi-valued logic, that allows
intermediate values to be defined between conventional evaluations like true/false, yes/no,

high/low and emerged as a tool to deal with uncertain, imprecise, or qualitative decision making
problems. The fuzzy logic is a way to make machines more intelligent to reason in a fuzzy manner
like humans [8], [9]. Fig. 2 shows the fuzzy logic controller model.
Figure 2: Fuzzy Logic Model
A fuzzy logic model is a logical-mathematical procedure based on an “IF-THEN” rule system that
mimics the human way if thinking in computational form. Generally, a fuzzy rule system has four
modules such as,
Fuzzification
Fuzzy Inference
Rule Base
Defuzzification
Fuzzification
The Fuzzy number is called Fuzzification. In others words, means the assigning of linguistic value,
defined by relative small number of membership functions to variable.
Fuzzy Inference
Under inference, the truth value for the premise of each rule is computed, and applied to the
conclusion part of each rule. This results in one fuzzy subset to be assigned to each output variable
for each rule. Mostly MIN or PRODUCT is used as inference rules. In MIN inference, the output
membership function is clipped off at a height corresponding to the rule premise's computed degree
of truth (fuzzy logic AND). In PRODUCT inference, the output membership function is scaled by
the rule premise's computed degree of truth.
Rule Base
For the rule bases a classic interpretation of Mandani was used. Under rule base, rules are
constructed for outputs. The rules are in “If Then” format and formally the If side is called the
conditions and the Then side is called the conclusion. A rule base controller is easy to understand
and easy to maintain for a non-specialist end user and an equivalent controller could be
implemented using conventional techniques

Http://www.ijetmr.com©International Journal of Engineering Technologies and Management Research [51]
Defuzzification
The Defuzzification is a process in which crisp output is obtained by the fuzzy output. In other
words, process of converting fuzzy output to crisp number. There is more Defuzzification methods
in which two of the more common techniques are the CENTROID and MAXIMUM methods. In
the CENTROID method, the crisp value of the output variable is computed by finding the variable
value of the centre of gravity of the membership function for the fuzzy value. In the maximum
method, one of the variable values at which the fuzzy subset has its maximum truth value is chosen
as crisp value for the output variable
Designing Procedure
This paper presents a methodology for rule base fuzzy logic controller applied to a system. Before
running the simulation in MATLAB/Simulink, the fuzzy logic controller is to be designed. This is
done using the FIS editor [10]-[13]. The FIS file is created using the fuzzy logic toolbox. The
design of a fuzzy logic controller requires the choice of membership functions. After the
appropriate membership functions are chosen, a rule base is created. The set of linguistic rules is
the essential part of a fuzzy controller. The various linguistic variables to design rule base for
output of the fuzzy logic controller are shown in Fig.3. The response of the fuzzy logic controller
is obtained using in MATLAB/Simulink. A two input which is speed error (e) and change in error
(ec) and one-output change in control, fuzzy controller is created and the membership functions
and fuzzy rules are determined. The membership functions (MF) for inputs are shown in Fig. 3(a),
3(b) and the MF for output is shown in Fig. 3(c).

Here max-min type decomposition is used and the final output for system is calculated by using
center of area gravity method. i is an index of every membership function of fuzzy set, m is the
number of rules and is the inference result
Construction of Rules and Rule Viewer
In Figure 4(a) fuzzy if-then rules are shown and in Fig. 4(b) analysis of the two inputs (error and
change in error) and output are shown. There are total 9 rules output variable In Fuzzy
membership function there are two input variable and each input variable have seven linguist
values.

The results of the system with using different type of controllers are shown here. The responses of
the system with several controllers such as PID, Fuzzy Logic Controller are being applied. In this
section transfer of the separately excited DC motor is used as a system and find out the response
of the system applying the step function as an input [14]-[18] .

Fig. 5 shows the PID control system designed in MATLAB/Simulink where controller parameters
are adjusted using (Z-N) method. The simulation output of the PID Controller for 2nd order system
is represented in Fig 6.

Figure 6: Step Response of the System with PID Controller
As can be seen from the Fig.6, the PID controlled response of the system has considerably high
overshoot and larger settling time values. Hence, an attempt is made to further improve the
response of the system using fuzzy logic controller [19]-[21].
Fuzzy Logic Controller
A fuzzy logic model is a logical-mathematical procedure based on an “IF-THEN” rule system that
mimics the human way if thinking in computational form. Generally, a fuzzy rule system has four
modules. There are specific components characteristic of a fuzzy controller to support a design
procedure between the pre-processing block and post processing block [22]-[24]. Fig. 7 shows the
MATLAB/Simulink model of system using fuzzy logic controller.

The simulation output of the Fuzzy Logic Controller for System is represented in Fig. 8. From
above figure, it can be easily seen that the overshoot has been considerably reduced with fuzzy
logic controller as compared to the PID using classic ZN method. Comparative step response for
PID regulated system and FLC controlled system is shown in Fig. 9. The Fig.9 shows that the
response of the system has greatly improved on application of fuzzy logic controller. The
overshoot of the system using FLC has been reduced, settling time; peak time of the system also
shows appreciable reduction as analyzed in Table I.

The triangular membership functions for input variable speed error and control output i.e. change
in PWM input are shown in Fig. 10. The general considerations in the design of the controller are:
1. If both error is zero, then maintain the present control setting i.e. output=0. 2. If the error is not
zero but is approaching this value at a satisfactory rate, then maintain the present control setting.
3. If the error is growing then change the control signal output depending on the magnitude and
sign of error to force the error towards zero [25]-[28].
Figure 10: Fuzzy Rules
These results confirmed that the Fuzzy PID controller demonstrates robustness under various
operating conditions and shows a very satisfactory performance. It can be easily seen that the
overshoot has been considerably reduced with fuzzy logic controller as compared to the PID using
classic ZN method. Comparative step response for PID regulated system and FLC controlled
system.The fuzzy inference diagram is the composite of all the smaller diagrams presented so far
in this section. It simultaneously displays all parts of the fuzzy inference process we have examined
[29]-[35]. It’s solve problem rise from some plant are defaulted to represent in mathematical
model, also in some plant to design the approaches mathematical model you must neglect some
parameter.

Figure 11: Simulation Model of Separately Excited DC Motor
In order to validate the FLC control strategies as described above, the digital simulation were
carried out on a 5 HP, 240V and 1750 rpm separately excited DC drive system whose parameters
are mentioned in the MATLAB/Simulink model of system under study with fuzzy controller is
shown in Fig.11. The speed of separately excited DC motor has been successfully controlled by
using fuzzy logic controller technique.
Figure 12: Simulated Waveform of Speeds, Torque and Armature Current
The Fig. 12 shows the speeds, torque and armature current are the simulated waveform of
separately excited DC motor. The proportional integral controller is very much useful as it improve
steady state response of the system, and it time of response is high but there are some
disadvantageous of PI controller is tuning of PI controller, it give high ripple in torque and current
, and high peak overshoot and when sudden load is applied over it, the speed is drop very much,
these disadvantageous are very much improve by using rule base fuzzy logic controller, as tuning
is not required in fuzzy logic controller it reduces the ripple in torque and current very much and
there is no peak over shoot in the system, by comparing both the controller fuzzy logic controller
is proved to be much superior then PI controller.

5. Conclusion
In this paper the speed of a separately excited DC motor is controlled by using fuzzy logic and
PID controller. The simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The
fuzzy logic response is compared with that of conventional PID controller. The results show that
the overshoot, settling time, peak time and control performance has been improved greatly by
using fuzzy logic controller. The proposed fuzzy logic controller has more advantages, such as
higher flexibility, control, better dynamic and static performance compared with conventional
controller. Hence, fuzzy logic controller design was proposed and implemented.

This paper was presented a comparative study on the methods of adjusting the speed of a three-phase asynchronous motor with a rotor in a short circuit. For the same structure of the experimental stand used, two programs were created, implemented, and validated in LabVIEW. For the first method, the program in LabVIEW was made with the PI (proportional-integrative) controller and for the second method, the program in LabVIEW was made with the Fuzzy Logic controller. Following the analysis of the resulting graphs, it was found that the speed control system made with the fuzzy logic controller ensures an increase in its performance compared to the speed control system made with the conventional PI type controller. The indicial responses of the adjustment system of the three-phase asynchronous motor speed with PI controller or Fuzzy Logic controller have been determined in real-time by means of the experimental stand. The override of the speed adjustment system is decreased from the value of 26.9% corresponding to the PI controller to the value of 2.3% corresponding to the Fuzzy Logic controller and the duration of the transient time is decreased from the value of 2.2 s related to the PI controller to the value of 0.5 s, related to the Fuzzy Logic controller. By using the Fuzzy Logic controller, the amount of electrical energy required to supply the electric drive system made with a three-phase asynchronous motor will be reduced. This three-phase asynchronous motor speed adjustment algorithm can be implemented for other electric drive systems from different industrial applications.
... Performance of the PID controller was archived to maintain the transient overshoot response below 0.2048 %, it skilled fast settling of no more than 0.1577s. In 2019 [16] fuzzy logic and PID controllers were built to control speed of the DCM. The results obtained by fuzzy logic controller illustrate that peak time, overshoot, control performance, and settling time have been enhanced prominently compared with a conventional controller. ...

In this paper, novel multicarrier pulse width modulation technique which uses unipolar sine carrier waveform is proposed for seven-level cascaded inverter. In each carrier waveform different techniques such as phase disposition (PD), inverted phase disposition (IPD), phase opposition disposition (POD) and alternative phase opposition disposition (APOD) are implemented. The fundamental output voltage and harmonics obtained in each method are compared with the output waveform obtained with the triangular carrier waveform. The proposed switching technique enhances the fundamental component of the output voltage and improves total harmonic distortion. The different PWM methodologies adopting the constant switching frequency multicarrier with different modulation indexes are simulated for a 1kW, 3φ inverter using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The effect of switching frequency on the fundamental output voltage and harmonics are also analyzed.

The Bluetooth is main technology which was developed a group called Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), formed in May 1998. The Bluetooth is a propose standard for short range wireless communication of devices. It uses radio waves to transfer information, so it is very susceptible to attacks. To protect the user’s information, it uses algorithm. The Bluetooth offers methods for generate the authenticating keys for users and encrypting the data. The data encryption mechanism used within the Bluetooth security layer is the E0 stream cipher. A stream cipher is a symmetric cipher in other words; the same secret key is employed for both the encryption and the decryption. The E0 stream cipher is a linear feedback shift registers (LFSR) based key stream generator and the key stream thus generated is XORed with the plaintext to get the cipher text. Each time two Bluetooth devices are need to communicate securely; they first undergo authentication and key exchange protocols whose purpose is to agree on a shared secret, which is used to generate the encryption key. In this paper suggest a uniform framework for cryptanalysis of the E0 cipher. Our method requires 128 known bits of the key stream in order to recover the initial state of the LFSR, which reflects the secret key of this encryption engine. The key stream generator comprises of four LFSR of different lengths, which are combined by a simple finite state machine with 16 memory states. The output of this state machine is the key stream sequence or during initialization phase and the randomized initial start value.

Abstract – The Effective photovoltaic power conditioning requires well-organized power conversion and accurate maximum power point tracking to neutralize the effects of panel mismatch, shading, and variation in power output during a daily cycle. This paper presents a unique method for widening the input range of pulse width modulation of integrated resonant converters and it maintains high conversion efficiency. The technique primarily unites constant-on, constant off, and fixed-frequency control depending on the required duty cycle. With hybrid-frequency control, the circuit also retains zero current switching for the output diodes, minimizes the switching loss, and eliminates circulating energy at the transformer across the entire operating range. The Z-source inverter (ZSI) is widely used in low-voltage input applications such as photovoltaic, fuel cells, motor drivers due to its outstanding compared with the traditional voltage source inverter (VSI). Worst of all, the boost ability is too small. Several control strategies are provided to overcome these disadvantages of the classic ZSI, but they still have limits to avoid the discontinuous input current, as well as reduce the voltage stress. More importantly, the stronger boost ability is achieved, the larger shoot-through duty ratio should be used, which will result in a poor output voltage profile and low voltage-conversion ratio. Thus, the control strategies are not efficient to improve the boost ability.

Abstract – The Power electronic converters are needed to interface renewable energy sources with the load along with energy storage in stand-alone commercial applications. Recently, the converters have attracted attention for such applications since the port connected to the energy storage to allow bidirectional power flow. The former systematic method of two coupled inductor which used to step up the voltage from input load. In this a complex procedure is needed to step up the voltage, the more number of switches are required to step up the voltage with alone with the coupled inductors. Due to the increasing number of switches influences a higher level of switch loss. The system efficiency was improved by using two sets of active-clamp circuits. Also the former converter is open loop circuit. A High step up three port DC-DC H-bridge converter for standalone PV/battery systems is the proposed system in which the step up can be done with single step up transformer alone and also improved efficiency. In addition to that less number of power switches needed for the system compared to the existing system. The proposed system is the closed loop circuit is the added benefit to the proposed system.
