Adaptive PID fuzzy logic control of the recycle compression systems

Abstract

Centrifugal compressors play an integral role in the oil and gas industry, helping power the multiple processes that convert oil and gas into thousands of practical products. These types of compressors can encounter a very dangerous and detrimental problem called surge. This work deals with the study of Centrifugal compressor surge and its prevention. In order to avoid the surge occurrence and ensure compressor’s operation in the stable region with maximum efficiency, appropriate techniques are considered based on PID regulator. Classical PID controllers remain one of the simplest, most effective, robust, and easily certifiable control strategies. However, this simplicity comes with a price. Design tradeoffs between integral and derivative gain in a linear PID controller often make it difficult to achieve optimal performance. To solve this problem, the design of a multistage fuzzy PID controller is proposed in this thesis. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the multistage fuzzy PID controller in maintaining the speed and stability of the system.
