Fuzzy successive modelling and control for time-delay systems

In this paper, a procedure for constructing a fuzzy model of a given system associated with a digital fuzzy filter is proposed. Based on the structure of the Smith predictor, a hybrid model predictive control approach is also presented. Two experimental results using (1) an analogue simulator and (2) a blower temperature control rig have been illustrated. It shows that the proposed control structure is a feasible approach to control systems with time-delay.
