Abstract

Combined tank systems are widely used in industrial applications. It can be difficult to control the liquid level in tank systems. In double tank systems, the liquid may need to be stored in tanks and then pumped to another tank. Liquid level controls are controlled by Proportional-Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. In this article, the Kp, Ki and Kd parameters of the PID controller are determined by using fuzzy logic with appropriate fuzzy rules. It is seen that the performance of the system realized with the determined parameters is significantly better than the traditional PID controller.
