  Abstract ▼

  The aim of the work is to develop a method for optimizing the fuzzy rule base of an intelligent controller for controlling a technical object using subtractive clustering. The article provides an overview and a brief analysis of the state of affairs in the field of optimizing the operation of intelligent control systems. To achieve the goal of the study, a hybrid model has been developed in which the technical object is controlled using a classical PI controller and a fuzzy PI controller with a generated structure of a Cygeno-type fuzzy inference system and a developed model of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. This configuration of the model allows you to form a fuzzy rule base that does not depend on the expert's knowledge in the subject area. The article proposes a new method for optimizing the fuzzy controller rule base based on clustering methods, in particular subtractive clustering, which allows you to reduce the number of fuzzy logical inference rules and increase the performance of the technical object control system. First, a hybrid model synthesized on the basis of the values of the fuzzy and classical controllers before applying subtractive clustering was simulated. The application of subtractive clustering according to the method developed in the study for the values of the classical and fuzzy controllers allowed us to achieve their quantitative reduction by 1.7 and 5.25 times, respectively. Then, the hybrid model synthesized on the basis of the values of the fuzzy and classical controllers after applying subtractive clustering was simulated. The results obtained in the process of simulation showed high efficiency of the proposed method for optimizing the fuzzy controller rule base. Due to the application of subtractive clustering in the hybrid model for the intelligent controller, it was possible to significantly reduce the number of membership functions required to describe the input linguistic variables (from five to four) and reduce the number of fuzzy logical inference rules (from twenty-five to sixteen). The analysis of the resulting graphs of transient processes obtained for the hybrid models before and after applying subtractive clustering showed that the main indicators of the quality of the control process remain unchanged with a significant reduction in the calculations performed.
