Performance evaluation of an intelligent controller design for a ceramic infrared heater

This paper presents Intelligent control and performance evaluation of electric ceramic infrared heater with less energy consume. The design and implementation of different tuning of PID controller is also presented. A closed loop control system having IOPID controller has been developed for the temperature control for ceramic infrared heater. Using IOPID controller to test the comparative performances with the other tuning method of PID and intelligent controller tuning to validate it's effectiveness. The simulation result shows that the IOPID controller has good robustness, rapidly and good dynamic performance for high static gain. A fuzzy logic controller used for the same system for good stability and robust performance. Fuzzy logic controller has been widely used for non-linear, time delay and high order system. The results obtain reflect that use of intelligent controller based on Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization also improves the performance of process in terms of time domain specification and optimum stability.
