An improved Fuzzy Logic Control of Irrigation Station

What is it about?

This work presents a control design for the irrigation station by sprinkling. The proposed method is applied in order to solve the problem of managing water sources and distributions systems. This paper presents the synthesis of a Fuzzy Logic control applied to the station of irrigation by sprinkling, this method has the advantage of stability conditions of the proposed controller. After presentation of mathematical model of our station, simulation results illustrate the performance of the control strategy.

Why is it important?

The innovation of this paper reside primarily to use the fuzzy coalescence algorithm. Further, control design has been proposed for the irrigation station using fuzzy controller. Simulation results and experimental validation are presented to verify the desired performances with proposed fuzzy control design. So, the proposed method allows a good water management and a minimization of energy consumption. Consequently, it reduces the cost of the automated irrigation station in the agricultural sector. A possible future perspective is to apply other practical irrigation station controller (like Hybrid controller) and make a comparative study between them, which is useful in engineering and application.
