Objectives of the Course

The students are subject to learn basic concepts in fuzzy logic control and fuzzy decision making processes applied to power systems, renewable energy systems such as solar and wind, energy management systems and micro grids. The students will also be able to develop and design fuzzy subsystems, partition the universes, developing fuzzy decision makers and controllers and simulating those models in Matlab/Simulink.  
 

 

Contents of the Course

The course covers the basic concepts of fuzzy set theory. Partitioning the universes of power and energy systems. Problem definitions in power and energy systems using fuzzy terms. Fuzzy logic based solution approaches to load-frequency and excitation control of power systems. Fuzzy logic control for damping oscillations in power systems. Application of fuzzy logic control to wind and solar PV systems such as in utility integration and MPPT operation. Fuzzy logic in micro grids and energy management systems.
