Abstract

Application of fuzzy control has been observed in various engineering fields due to its ability to handle uncertainties and non-linearities. In this study, the advantages of using fuzzy control in heat pump systems are being investigated. Specifically, the performance of a heat pump system with a conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is being compared to that of a heat pump system with a fuzzy logic controller. It has been demonstrated by the results that the fuzzy control-based heat pump system offers better performance in terms of energy efficiency, temperature control, and overall system stability. This study contributes to the understanding of the potential benefits of fuzzy control-based heat pump systems and provides a foundation for further research in this area.
