Fuzzy control of current in thyristor DC drive

In the paper an application of fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for control of thyristor DC drive is presented. During synthesis of the FLC a robustness against variation of structure of the current control plant was taken into account. Comparison between the fuzzy control system and an ordinary digital control system, carried out by simulation method, proved that FLC as a robust controller gives better performance in the range where non‐linearity and parameter variation is observed. The simulation results were confirmed by the laboratory experiment.
