 SIMULATION

What is simulation?
simulation is the discipline of designing a model of an
actual or theoretical physical system, executing the model on a
digital computer, and analyzing the execution output.

Simulation embodies the principle of ``learning by doing'‘

to learn about the system we must first build a model of some
sort and then operate the model.
In other words the process of limitating a real
phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.
 SIMULATION

Why simulation?

Simulation is often essential in the following cases:

1) The model is very complex with many variables and

interacting components
2) The underlying variables relationships are nonlinear
3) There is no wastage of money due to damage of circuit
components.
4) No limitation in the parameters range during simulation.

 Heuristics Method
of Control - FUZZY method

 Fuzzy logic is a way to make machines

more intelligent enabling them to
reason in a fuzzy manner like humans.

 Fuzzy logic, proposed by Lotfy Zadeh in

1965, emerged as tool to deal with
uncertain, imprecise or qualitative
decision making problems.

 Fuzzy Logic Systems
 The term “Fuzzy” refers the ability of dealing
mathematically with imprecise or vague inputs
usually employed by humans.

 Fuzzy logic is a technique to embody human-like

thinking into a control system.

 It is a multi-valued logic that extends Boolean

logic usually employed in computer science.

 Instead of using complex mathematical equations

fuzzy logic uses linguistic description to define the
relationship between the input information and the
output action.

01.08.2016 [email protected] 22
 Fuzzy Logic Systems
 Fuzzy logic is a powerful tool that is pervading
every field and signing successful implementations

 The model uses human language, so it’s reasonably

understandable.

 Just as fuzzy logic can be described simply as

“Computing with words rather than numbers”,
fuzzy control can be described simply as “Control
with sentences rather than equations”.

 STEPS IN FUZZY SYSTEM
 Identify the inputs and their ranges and name them

 Identify the outputs and their ranges and name them

 Create the degree of fuzzy membership function for each

input and output

 Construct the rule base that the system will operate under

 Decide how the action will be executed by assigning

strengths to the rules

 Combine the rules and defuzzify the output

01.08.2016 [email protected] 25
 Fuzzy Sets
We give things a degree of membership between 0 and 1 in
several sets (to a combined total of 1).
We then label these sets using human terms.
Encapsulates terms with no consensus definition, but we might
use surveys to define them.

functions

 Fuzzy Logic Model Design
We give our variables as membership functions, and
express the membership functions as nouns (“Length”,
“Weight”, “Time”, “Temperature”) or adjectives (“Long”,
“Short”, “Hot”, “Cold” etc.)

We can then build up linguistic equations (“IF length

long, AND temperature hot, THEN open Window”).

 Advantages of fuzzy control
 It can work with less precise inputs
 Fuzzy logic is conceptually easy to
understand.
 It doesn’t need fast processors
 It needs less data storage in form of
membership functions and rules than
conventional lookup table for non-linear
control
 The mathematical concepts behind fuzzy
reasoning are very simple.

01.08.2016 [email protected] 38
 Advantages of fuzzy control
 Fuzzy logic is flexible.
 We can create a fuzzy system to match
any set of input-output data.
 Fuzzy systems don't necessarily replace
conventional control methods. In
 Fuzzy logic is based on natural language.
 It is more robust than other non-linear
controllers
