Fuzzy control for a time-delay oceanic structure



In this paper, a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model approach combined with a parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme is proposed for time delay control of the response of a tension leg platform (TLP) system subjected to an external wave force. A global PDC-based fuzzy logic controller is constructed by blending all local state feedback controllers. A fuzzy-model-based control is thereby developed which can attenuate the influence of the external wave force. The controller is evaluated in terms of stability analysis, and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions guaranteeing the stability of the TLP system derived via Lyapunov theory.
