Abstract - DifTerent concepts of controller design for DCIDC 11. T H E FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL TECHNIQUE
converters based on fuzzy logic are presented. Since the

not require an accurate mathematical model of a power A fuzzy controller consists of three major signal

Complement:
where x and y are input fuzzy variables, z is the output fuzzy
variable; A, B and C are fuzzy subsets in the universe of
discourses X, Y and 2,respectively. So, if there are n fuzzy
rules and they are defined as:
Convex:
RI: If x is A, and y is B,, then z is C,
Let x, y and z contain in a continuous fuzzy set A R,: If x is A, and y is B,, then z is C,
where x < y < z, then R,: If x is A3 and y is B,, then z is C,
