Abstract

This paper introduces a control approach integrating intelligent proportional-integral (iPI) control with fuzzy logic, specifically designed for temperature management using the Temperature Control Laboratory (TCLab) platform. The proposed controller leverages a model-free methodology that transcends traditional PID constraints by incorporating real-time parameter estimation and adaptive algorithms. The system is adaptable to handle dynamic temperature variations and external disturbances by combining intelligent control techniques with fuzzy logic. Experimental validation in the TCLAB reveals significant improvements in temperature tracking precision and system robustness across diverse operational conditions.
