Fuzzy cascade control based on control’s history for superheated temperatureAbstractTo the characteristics of the large delay and uncertainty of superheated temperature, a new cascade control system is presented based on control’s history.Based on the analysis of the control objects’dynamiccharacteristics,historical control information(substituting for the deviation change rate)is used as the basis for decision-making of the fuzzy control.Therefore,the changing trend of the controlled variable can be accurately reflected.Furthermore,a proportional component is introduced,the advantages of PID and fuzzy controllersare integrated, and the structure weaknesses of conventional fuzzy controllers are overcome.Simulation shows thatthis control method can effectively reduce the adverse impact of the delay on control effects and,therefore,exhibit strong adaptability by comparing the superheated temperature control system by this controller with PID and conventional fuzzy controllers.Keywordsdelaysystem,fuzzycontrol,superheatedtemperature control system 1 IntroductionCurrently,most control systems of superheated temperature adopt cascade control as shown in Fig.1.This kind of system is simple in structure and easy to execute.However,superheatedtemperature is a typical time-variable,non-linear delay system.Thus it is hard for a cascade control system to attain a satisfactory control performance.Fuzzy control,which needs no exact mathematical model,has achieved partial success in controlling superheated temperature. However,the weaknesses of a traditional fuzzy controller are obvious.First,fuzzy rules are composed of three linguistic variables,whichare,deviation,deviation change rate, and control variable.Both fuzzy control based on that structure and PID control are “control after the event”,so it is not ideal to control the large delay object.Second,the control object with delay(the traditional fuzzy PI controller) has the defect of “gain-role change”,which affects control qu
