Design and implementation of funnel control–based synergetic control for water level tank system

This work presents a unique control technique for dynamic system regulation called FC-SNC (Funnel Control combined with Synergetic Control). To improve tracking performance, robustness against disturbances, and transient response characteristics, FC-SNC integrates the concepts of funnel control and synergetic control. The key innovation is the introduction of a new macro-variable for SNC, designed based on Funnel Control principles. By contrasting it with conventional control techniques like FC, SNC, and PI controllers, the suggested strategy is validated by simulation and experimental tests on a coupled tank system. The results highlight FC-SNC’s guarantee for real-world applications where accurate and reliable control is crucial by showcasing its superior responsiveness and control performance under a range of operating situations. With its potential to provide engineering systems needing high-performance regulation with viable solutions, FC-SNC’s effectiveness represents a noteworthy contribution to dynamic system control.
