Abstract:
This is to minimize the oscillations while carrying loads from the initial point to the final point in minimum time to prevent security hazards. A Proportional Derivative (PD) Fuzzy controller is proposed to control the overhead crane with minimal load swing. A Non-Linear dynamic model is used to investigate and compare the results of Fuzzy PD controller (Mamdani & Takagi Sugeno) with conventional PD controller. The controllers are compared in terms of load swing, Time taken to reach final point, Steady state performance and Transient performance. The proposed control strategy has been designed and validated with MATLAB. Simulation results are obtained and discussed.
