Harmony search algorithm and Lyapunov theory based hybrid adaptive fuzzy controller for temperature control of air heater system with transport-delay

- Hybrid stable adaptive fuzzy controllers based on the Lyapunov theory and HS algorithm are implemented.
- Real-life controls of the temperature of an air heater process at different cross sections of air flow duct are implemented.
- Heat transfer dynamics of the process in the presence of fixed and randomly variable disturbances are tested.
- The same controllers designed for “no transportation delay” case are also utilized to control the temperature with the incorporation of transportation delay in the process.
