Abstract: |
The present invention discloses a method and system for controlling a power supply by delivering stable output voltage independent of load. The control system includes a sensor for sensing a state variable, a fuzzy logic controller for generating a control action, and an actuator for regulating the power supply in accordance with the control action. The fuzzy logic controller generates a fuzzy logic knowledge base using low-level fuzzy logic controllers and a mode selector in one embodiment and a fuzzy logic proportional integral controller in another embodiment. The generated fuzzy logic knowledge base is compiled in a look-up table and is used to quickly and efficiently control a power supply device such as a resonant converter.

First Claim:
Show all 22 claims |
We claim:
1. A fuzzy logic power supply controller for controlling a power supply in which a sensor means senses at least one state variable defined for the power supply and an actuator means provides a control action to the power supply, the controller comprising:
- means for generating a fuzzy logic knowledge base having a plurality of fuzzy rules defined for the at least one sensed state variable;
- a compiled look-up table of control action response values derived from executing the fuzzy rules in the fuzzy logic knowledge base for the at least one sensed state variable, wherein the compiled look-up table of control action response values obviates a need for subsequent execution of the fuzzy rules;
- means for producing addresses in the compiled look-up table for the at least one sensed state variable, wherein the addresses point to locations in the compiled look-up table where the control action response values are stored; and
- means for reading the compiled look-up table corresponding to the generated addresses and outputting the control action response values to the actuator.
