Treffer: Design of Economical Fuzzy Logic Controller for Washing Machine.

The washing machine is the most commonly utilized household appliance. The automatic washing machines are developed using Fuzzy Logic Controller by several authors. The amount of water, electricity and detergent are more effective parameters for developing economical washing machines. In this work, we design an economical fuzzy logic controller for washing machine which optimize consumption of water, electricity and amount of detergent. We employ Mamdani approach to develop the algorithm as this approach gives higher accuracy. In the fuzzy-rule basis system, 36 rules are created based on expert user knowledge. The algorithm has been implemented and simulated using python programming language. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm for washing machine provides better performance at a lower computational cost. The comparative analysis of proposed work with the previous work shows that our input-output control system optimises performance of the washing machine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
