Abstract
Control of sluice gates of dams is a complex,
nonlinear, non-stationary control process and is significantly affected by hydrological conditions which are not predictable beforehand. In this paper, control methods based on dynamic fuzzy logic are proposed for the operation of sluice gates of dams during floods. The proposed methods are not only suitable for controlling gates but also able to maintain target water level in order to prepare a draught. In the proposed methods, we use dynamic fuzzy logic that the membership functions can be varied by changing environment conditions for keeping up the target water level, instead of conventional static fuzzy logic. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods based on dynamic fuzzy logic produce an accurate and efficient solution for both of controlling sluice gates and maintaining target water level defined beforehand.
