Comparative Analysis of PID and Fuzzy PID Controller Performance for Continuous Stirred Tank Heater

Paper presents a parallel analysis of performance of PID (Proportional Integral and Derivative) controller and Fuzzy PID controller for control of CSTH (Continuous Stirred Tank Heater) Process. CSTH is one of the type of heater which operates at constant temperature. In Heater, a hot fluid is circulated through the jacket. Mass balance and Energy balance equations are used on the process, to develop a mathematical model. A mathematical description of Tank Heater is established and various types of controllers are implemented to it. To revise the performance of different control algorithms, using MATLAB, a simulation work is conceded to control the given process system. To analyze the response of diverse controllers, time domain specifications are used. To determine the entire knowledge about the process, A small literature survey about Tank Heater is premeditated.
