A PI - fuzzy controller with flow control and energy optimization using flow sensors

Pumps are an integral part in industrial systems involving fluid transfer and hydraulic processing. They occupy nearly 27% of electricity in the manufacturing sector. Energy saving now becomes a necessity to Cutting out wasted energy and save energy by efficient use of available energy. For saving the energy there is a need of optimizing energy by standard system and Innovation of new technology. The energy saving process can be possible by using the proper choice of equipment and their effective use. Hence unnecessary wastage of energy is an important problem in flow control systems. Hence Control of speed of motor in accordance to fluid input reduces energy consumption thus increasing the efficiency of the system which is the proposed work presented in this paper. This method also reduces a network of complex pipelines hence making the structure simple. The PI control and fuzzy controller proves to be an effective control scheme to improve the overall performance of the system.
