Abstract :
Fuzzy logic is applied to the control of a fluidized bed combustor. Steps in formulating the fuzzy controller are outlined. The controlled system is simulated by using a detailed model of a fluidized bed combustor that is based on the two-phase theory of fluidization. Simulated responses resemble those for the system under human control.
