Fuzzy Logic Algorithm for Manned Modules Temperature and Humidity Control using EcosimPro ^R

The paper presents the simulation and the performance evaluation for an innovative Temperature and Humidity Control in a manned orbiting module.

Starting from the EcosimPro® modelling capabilities, a Space Station Module has been built and a standard Temperature and Humidity Control (THC) has been designed, based on a classical PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller, suitably developed. After that, a fuzzy logic controller has been dsigned and thanks to EcosimPro programmability a fuzzy logic controller block has been created.

The controller have been sized and its performances suitably simulated.

Performances of the innovative controller are checked against the standard control techniques.
